I then move my first guards army ( all tanks) west near Penza to help out with next weeks rescue attempt.

I also reattach hq to Stakva which is now located near Penza

[BrianG]

Far east tank attack. When oh when will my 2nd tank Army convert to Guards tank army. Oh when oh Stalin[&o]

My tanks here are keeping Silly from moving some units to Penza.

[BrianG]

Tank morale boost attack

[BrianG]

2 german reserve activations is not enough to help

[BrianG]

I ponder what to do with the single combat Germans units in the forward hexes. Should I leave them as is or retreat them back.

I attack. here is first lineup.

That this tank unit would retreat to the SS panzer hex made this avenue of attack unlikely to relieve the trapped units.

[BrianG]

and the result

[BrianG]

here is the air kia report mid turn.

My air force has been humilated

[BrianG]

my top half information

[BrianG]

bottom half information

[BrianG]

I really wonder when some of these units will finally convert to guards.

Look at some of the large win loss records of non converted

[BrianG]

still a very low experience group

[BrianG]

here are my air commanders (who should all be retrained) and their win loss records

[BrianG]

I attack the other forward German infantry unit and do this one further west for localized opportunity

[BrianG]

I think about making a sacrificial deep tank thrust.

I could reach 2 more hexes and rout that german airbase just to the west.

I decide against

[BrianG]

Last attack results in surprising loss.

I hope this does not cause major issue next turn.

[BrianG]

Final Penza area.

Besides moving in my first Guards army I have shifted in west of Penza a few good guards infantry corp.

I assume all will be needed next turn.

[BrianG]

Final Saratov

[BrianG]

Last Moscow

you get more Guards % in Jan 1944. in 1943 your guards % is still decently low as per game limits. You have alot of guards units overall so looks about right for 1943.

I thought armor had no limits?

Please explain why 2nd Army tank has not converted its record is like 43 -20?

Stalin likes red troops.
