BrianG v. HYLA (no hard luck)

[BrianG]

oob.

Is his air force large or soon to be very large?

[BrianG]

I retake the rough hex up north

[BrianG]

I maneuver behind the Russian lines.

and attack. eventually I will rout the front line Russian troop

[BrianG]

More north action

Here I overcome a defensive reserve activation.

[BrianG]

Nice win. Over a good defensive Cv and a defensive reserve action

[:)]

[BrianG]

More north

Heavy attack

Russian units starting to really rout with no room to retreat. His best units are not here.

[BrianG]

And here come the Tanks.

TANK BATTLE

[BrianG]

Against swamp hexes: more tough battles.

it's a rout fest

[BrianG]

then more routs and these Russians really wanted out of the front lines. And far back east they went

[BrianG]

getting towards the end of the week, my wins are coming just over the 2x threshold.

[BrianG]

" to rout or not to rout. ?

The 2 trapped russian hq's, I think, belong to troop east of the position.


Answer now before you go to the next panel/

[BrianG]

answer


rout them because next turn is mud and they would easily have been reconnected to supply. Plus now this port is destroyed

Question: why are these hq's routing so far east?

[BrianG]

The fins airforce takes a turn bombing a port. Maybe not the correct port to bomb.

Such is war.

[BrianG]

final North positions. Other turn action to follow:

I guesstimate 25 Russian divisions trapped if you divide up the cav corps.

I see 20 routed units east of my lunge to the Lake.

[BrianG]

After much thought, I decide to do the switch-a-ro.

I will attempt to , free my trap units, and at the same time trap better Russian units.

Russian tanks did not put up well in this battle

[BrianG]

And here the large rescue attack

[BrianG]

Now for the trap.

Lineup.

[BrianG]

very heavy ground attack supported and defended with heavy air coverage.

over 3000 Russian kia.

[BrianG]

Further south:

I unleash my aircorp for a rare air support mission.

It helped win this hasty attack

[BrianG]

Stalin finds his spine.

And thus begins a legendary Russian defense.

First attack by the Hungarians. Fresh from the west.
