Oshawott (Russia) vs. Stef78 (Axis)

[STEF78]

ORIGINAL: Oshawott

T111 - Center

But not all goes according to plan.

Sorry, really not helping you more! [;)]

And I don't agree with your point of view concerning the Lufwaffe. I will post a full screen soon. Fighters are +++, Fighter bombers ++ and bombers are low but I just want to avoid a russian air supériority.

[Oshawott]

And I don't agree with your point of view concerning the Lufwaffe.

It's Russian propaganda. [;)]

[Oshawott]

Fighters are +++, Fighter bombers ++ and bombers are low but I just want to avoid a russian air supériority.

My fighters/fighter bombers have no chance against your fighters/fighter bombers. The only advantage they have is numbers. But I have a real fighter shortage for many many turns now. I have 24 regiments with obsolete I-16 sitting in reserve. The AI recognized the fighter shortage and downgraded many regiments. They are sitting in reserve and are training. Same with LAGG3. There are just not enough aircraft in the pool to upgrade these regiments.

T112 - North

Bridgehead is widened. He moved a lot of reinforcements from the landbridge into this sector.

[Oshawott]

T112 - Center

He is still surprisingly strong in this sector but I have five of my best armies plus artillery and tank support at the landbridge. I am starting to find little weak spots in the front which I can destroy thanks to my tanks and cavalry.

[Oshawott]

T112 - Kiev

Steady progress. It will soon be clear what my goals are in this area.

[Oshawott]

T112 - South

I attack a stack with Totenkopf and Das Reich. I reduce the forts from 3 to 1 and the stack has still a CV of 82. [:D] Good news is that I only have to face a level 2 fort next time.

[Oshawott]

T112 - OOB

Steady decline. Too bad that mud is coming.

[Oshawott]

Brief intermission until end of August while Stef is on vacation. Meanwhile started a new game as Axis vs. Griefhead so that I don't get bored.

[Ketza]

I almost grabbed that game. GL

[Oshawott]

T113 - North

Game is still on hiatus but I have some time so I post another turn.

Steady progress in the north but he puts lots of reinforcements into this sector.

[Oshawott]

T113 - Center

The reinforcements for the north have to come from somewhere and the center is now pretty weak.

[Oshawott]

T113 - Center

It's getting more and more interesting here. The Axis forces are very thin here. I am over both rivers now and have clear terrain ahead of me.

[Oshawott]

T113 - South

A massive counter-blow in the south. Almost 1000 German tanks! I immediately counterattack some of those tanks.

[Oshawott]

T113 - OOB

[Oshawott]

T113 - Production

I haven't posted production numbers in a while. Because I don't build many new units anymore and mostly used divisions to form corps the manpower pool is now above 3 million. Likewise I don't have to worry about armament points. My goal is to keep the Russian army close to 9 million. Trucks are no longer a problem. I have reached the break-even point.

[Oshawott]

T114 - Center

Some Axis troops are now starting to route when an overstacked condition occurs.

[Oshawott]

T114 - North

A massive defeat in the north.

[Oshawott]

T114 - Kiev

The main goal in the Kiev sector is not Kiev itself. I am rather aiming for the railway junction of Ovruch. I need to clear the rail lines in that area. Mud is coming and I need good supply lines. This will also severely restrict supply in the Pripyat marshes. The partisans have pretty much destroyed the entire rail network in this area.
