[BrianG]

He pushed toward the 2 cities North of Moscow. I move in local Guards to power up the area.
I could use a tactical hold of these cites!

Also, I think I can now hold the 2 hexes just east of Moscow.

Last I hope to push mostly the southern Moscow flank.

[BrianG]

final far south.

1 hold the mountain pass.
2 shoot the local general who allowed Kerch to be taken so easily
3 extract 1st guard infantry which I (stupid) moved closer to the south German panzers after I got too giddy from my Rostov attacks and supply cut.


I forgot that lower area in April remains clear.

[Wuffer]

great AAR, thx

[BrianG]

another close attack loss.

My troops are just not strong enough to do even mild attacks

[BrianG]

final positions.

I think next turn is clear. thus I will be pressured!

[BrianG]

final positions

[BrianG]

final middle board

[BrianG]

final Rostov

He is again cut off for supply to Cacaucus.

He will get port supply soon plus supply over the Kirsch strait

[BrianG]

Well. Here come the mighty German Mountain men.

A surprise by the depth of infiltration,

Causing angst in the high ranks.[:@]

I have to decide on full retreat out of area or can I hold them off and hold the mountain pass.

[BrianG]

The first miracle of the war.

I have a tank corp at 50 mp which can reach major cut off spot.

It does not get air intervened.

Yes!

[BrianG]

I have very heavy air casualties versus Silly's air korp

[BrianG]

Operation: Cut off rr supply!

Here is 1st attack

[BrianG]

attack 2.

Its not clear which side of the river I might achieve the cut off. Thus I attack up and down.

[BrianG]

attack 3

I end up squeezing my way along the river line

[BrianG]

attack 4 was one more along river.

this is attack 5 below river.

I am still probing for spot to cut off.

[BrianG]

I move in cav unit to be next to Rostov.

I also rout a unit further south

NO PICTURE

[BrianG]

I then do a Cav raid deep behind lines pressuring supply lines and forcing a river crossing for supply.

I hope he will be cut off enough to limit next turn damage.

Yeah right!

[BrianG]

final south.

I do my best to shore up area where German mountain troops are ensconced.

really is all desperation!

[BrianG]

Final Rostov

Mud better work.

Yeah right!

[BrianG]

Moscow area.

I consider this a big win as I regain the river line north of Moscow.

I think I have a good feel for where al his armor is. Not too many unaccounted for.
