Stalin's in the gulag, I'm in charge! II - vs 2ndACR (Axis)

[TulliusDetritus]

ORIGINAL: randallw

Do not overlook the Caucasus area; not only do some of the divisions activate but there are also a few shell divisions that are raised up there.

Yes, I pay attention to this front as well. Thank you [:)] Nice STRONG divisions! I moved them to Stalingrad area. They will stay there until I assign them (possibly) to some Stavka Reserve Army.

[TulliusDetritus]

Alright.

3 active fronts:

Northwest
Southwest
Southern

Leningrad attacks (ergo not advancing)

[TulliusDetritus]

Volkhov and Northwest Fronts attacks (I advance in the latter)

[TulliusDetritus]

The Kalinin Front thing (not advancing)

[TulliusDetritus]

Western Front attacks (not advancing)

[TulliusDetritus]

Bryansk Front. Let's see if I can at least devour one German division. It's all I ask!

As I have said, I have NOT advanced [:(]

[TulliusDetritus]

In the Southwestern Front thing, many massacres, as usual on this sector. 2ndACR has kept this area very weak (this is where I launched the Mud Offensive). I'm threatening to encircle some units. They will escape, I guess [8D]

[TulliusDetritus]

And more massacres in the southern part of the SW front thing.

[TulliusDetritus]

In the Southern Front it's official: I am unleashing the bears and now yes, I am terrorizing the weak minor Axis Allies for good! No battle things to better appreciate the advance here. 3 or 4 enemy units routed and two HQs ran away. Chickens! The southern part of the enemy front almost collapsed.

The 4th Shock Army should be very helpful here

EDIT: oh, and the northern city -Gorlovka- was assaulted and the fascists forced to retreat.

[Klydon]

Ok, make that many Rumanian AND Italian units screaming and running away. [:D]

No force in this world is going to stop my Bryansk Front hordes from destroying the poor souls of the German 45 Infantry Division methinks. At least that's what I hope!

[TulliusDetritus]

And this turn I harvested 3 Guards Rifle Divisions. Good! [8D]

[TulliusDetritus]

And this is what 2ndACR says on the email: "I must have missed when you killed a damned HQ. Not sure how you did it either. But I have a Corps HQ listed as destroyed" [:D]

The case is the destroyed units thing does not show any HQ [&:] Maybe he disbanded it (an accident)? But disbanded HQs are listed as losses. Or not?

I don't know what's going on but I want some more of this "destruction", please! Panzer divisions, you are next! [8D]

[TulliusDetritus]

Hmm, 2ndACR is not losing a lot of soldiers. Some turns ago he had almost 3 million men. He has still the same number of soldiers. But now I have a 6,5 million soldiers Red Army [X(]

As for the German numbers, the conclusion is that I simply suck, I suspect! [:D]

No problemo

Alright, the Southern Front is one of the active fronts this turn. More massacres here. The Axis minor allies are running away. Again [8D]

No battles thing. Easier to see what's going on here.

[TulliusDetritus]

And here are the massac... er battles.

[Sabre21]

Is your opponent even trying to counterattack? I found in my test game I was able to counterattack breakthrus pretty effectively as the Germans. Those lone tank brigades are extremely fragile.

Since blizzard started (turn 25) he counter-attacked very very few times. 2ndACR had already played through the blizzard before. And of course it was a massacre. So I guess he does not want to take any risk. Anyway, unlike on my summer defensive campaign (when I massively used infiltrations to cut enemy units off or at least harass them) I am not using the infltrations that much. I am basically pushing him. In fact on last turn one of his panzer divisions attacked one of these tank brigades (1=1) and they held. Vodka? Maybe [:D] I mean, not a lot of my units can be attacked.

Anyway, he is truly liking the changes. He is seeing a big difference.

[TulliusDetritus]

This turn I managed to do many retreats. Finally! 50 [8D]

Active Fronts:

Northwest
Bryansk
Southern

Leningrad attacks (NOT advancing)

[TulliusDetritus]

Volkhov and Northwest Fronts attacks (I am advancing in the latter aka active).
