Persistence is a virtue 2 - Encircled (SOV) vs Kamil (GER)

[KamilS]

T15 centre



Options on my flanks were just too tempting to ignore, so I decided to halt my advance towards Moscow and explore theses possibilities. Orel pocket is weak.

[KamilS]

T15 south


Fighting withdrawal of Red Army continues.

[KamilS]

T16 north

Mud hampers operations in northern zone. I do not complain, because I was extremely luck with weather so far.

[KamilS]

T16 centre


Unfavourable weather limited my actions to re-establishing ring of encirclement around Soviet units near Orel.

[KamilS]

T16 south


Slow advance forward. "Acquiring" ground and battering Soviet units is my objective at the moment. It is still summer so land in Russia is still cheap.

[KamilS]

T16 casualties


Low Soviet losses.

[KamilS]

T17 north


Anaemic grind forward, plus clearing south pocket. My advance is greatly slowed by withdrawal of most units from 18th Army.

[KamilS]

T17 centre


Orel area was cleared, and that is it.

[KamilS]

T17 south


I keep pushing east to get more space for withdrawal, plus damage rail.

[KamilS]

T17 casualties


End of Barbarossa, and Soviet losses are very low, very low despite good turn.

Hm, I think you should re-calibrate your scale. 2.8" is not very low but rather fair to good. Well Done!

Really? I though 3M is minimum figure to have slight chance of winning game.

[gingerbread]

That's what I thought it was as well, but as I understand it, it should be including the snow turns. You also have over 70% as kill/cap.

[sveint]

No decent Soviet player will let you kill 3M+. For that you'd need something like the historical Kiev pocket.

[Peltonx]

Below average 0 to 2.75 million
Average 2.75 to 3.0
Good 3.0 to 3.25
Amazing 3.25 to 3.5

If you get 3.25 its about over for the Russian. It still take a good blizzard on your part and a good 42 summer. Then you have to play game to 45.

1.05 does move the games into 45 unless you just have your enemy over matched.

Under 1.05 as German you need to kia 3 million by December, take Leningrad/Moscow do very good in south. Make it through winter with less then 750,000 in losses and then have a good 42 summer.

T18 weather


Seasons change, but fortune still favours me.

[KamilS]

T18 north


Fins gradually are getting more and more involved.

[KamilS]

T18 centre


My objectives here are straightening front line plus capturing Kaluga.

[KamilS]

T18 south


My gentle push east continue.

T19 weather


Even my luck has its limits.
