Remember you get some real bummer removals soon, and all the minors that he destroys are gove forever! .. Lenn with those forts should stand too? What is up there? He should pull all out from the rest of Finn/Murmansk to save fortress Lenningrad and its 8x modifiers!

Concentrating on holding a perimeter around Leningrad, Moscow and Gorky appears to be Larry's best bet. He shouldn't have supply problems and with his current depleted number of units, keeping the replacements flowing should not be a problem. If those enclaves can hold out until the mud, then he should have time to strengthen some more, build up a force for counter-attacking either out of Siberia or Gorky and re-establishing communications with Moscow/Leningrad.

How many safe airfields are there, though for interdiction and CS? That would appear to be the limiting factor at the moment. And looking at the losses Larry has been posting, his situation doesn't look as bad as it did in 1941 -- he has 36K RS, 3K HRS and 12K SMGs -- all figures that compare favorably with the more dire moments of 1941.

I just noticed that my RR arty can hit some of the Soviet airfields in Moscow...most satisfying. Leningrad is either gone before mud or reduced into a small pocket. I broke through along the Gulf of Finland coastline, also half of Leningrads defenders are encircled and are being destroyed.

Larry has a chance of establishiung contact to Gorkiy from Moscow, but on the other hand I have reinforcements arriving within 2-4 turns...it would be a 50-50 bet.Or worse, can't really say...but since most of Larry's reinforcements are reconstituting units they will not be in best of shape.

The thing is, all the units I destroy in Moscow will reconstitute in Gorkiy...I just gotta keep pushing. And considering that I just cleared the railroads to Moscow(and will have them rebuilt next turn) it should be easy...anyways, I have until mud season.

I have destroyed some 300 Soviet units during this offensive...At least judging by the amount Larry had on turn 95(1050 units) and this latest report:733 units. Of course Larry has gained substantial reinforcements(reconstituting units) during this period so the final tally is hard to tell. Anyways, for the next 3-5 turns I expect to kill something between 50 and 100 units, mostly from Leningrad area and the ex-Stalingrad front.

Btw. for the first time during the game my HRS amount went below 30 000.

Just curious--at turn 110--what time frame is the game at now? (month/year??)

Turn 110 = July 8, 1942.

Does Moscow have a supply source?

SMK-at-work · Post by **SMK-at-work** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 4:41 am

yes, but his supply isn't good due to -5 for loss of Maikop, and another -5 for loss of Stalingrad.

And because Moscow has a supply source, new reinforcement units can still appear there??

Replacements, yes: It is a big city, after all, with factories. Durign the seige of Lenningrad I think they wven developed a new, easily produced SMG for the seige.
Re-inforcements: Only if they're supposed to show up at Moscow.

To my knowledge even if there would be no supply reinforcements can appear there. Dunno how many units a turn but i doubt it's above 1-2 a turn...when I get the offensive rolling the Soviets will be losing more than that.

I finally found out why Karri does so well in TOAW. He's got a cheerleader. Here's Lindsey:
