[BrianG]

north

[BrianG]

[BrianG]

Major Russian attention is shown down south. Large breakthrough.
Cav units spotted deep behind the lines./ rr lines cut.



crap

[BrianG]

kia report since last turn.

27000 Russian kia in attacks

[BrianG]

German airforce is silent.

Russians losses all from south attacks

[BrianG]

July mud is now forecast for middle region.

This is not good news for the russian units about to be cut off and then chopped up.

[BrianG]

my fighters after a light week of maintenance and sleep.

[BrianG]

I spotted an Artilary division, or brigade, [:-] and had to attack.

More reasons to not attack

[BrianG]

This was my 3rd attack in my attempts to surround major Russian contingent.


This whole breakthru was done based on opportunity imo.

He pushed aside 1 or 2 weak units and some Rumanians and walla he had a big whole.

[BrianG]

and the key hasty attack.

[BrianG]

I put pressure on the rr crossing the Donets
.

[BrianG]

Final south

Next turn is Mud. I think this pocket should hold

[BrianG]

North final.

Next turn is clear.
Area around Leningrad will be mud if the forecast holds.

I think you're missing a lot of breakthrough potential with that many panzer divisions in the north in bad terrain. I guess the reasoning for the huge Leningrad operation is to capture the closest hexes to Berlin?

I thought you'd have diverted most of the panzers south after Volkhov river was crossed, but seems like you're really intent on taking Leningrad quickly and for good

I was making sure that Leningrad will be cut from supply for Good! Plus RR capacity is clearly not enough to move all these tanks. Some at a time. Tank units after cut will be shipped south asap.

Cavalry to the front. Looks like a Budyonny special. The Russian had a flash back to his Civil War days.

It was a very nice WW1 advance. Alas, we are in WW2.

Russians make good attempt to breakthrough to trapped units. I think these Guard Cav divisions came from a split up guards corp.

[BrianG]

July Mud!

And you can view some of the opening northern front.

[BrianG]

And in Leningrad we find 4 trapped Army hq's. I will bomb and try and kill generals.

61 23 and 2 others. One I think is a shell hq.

[BrianG]

My Airlanding divisions departs with the following record. I always seem to underutilize this unit.
