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.

Alright.

3 active fronts:

Northwest
Southwest
Southern

Leningrad attacks (ergo not advancing)

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

The Kalinin Front thing (not advancing)

Western Front attacks (not advancing)

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 [:(]

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]

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

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.

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!

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

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]

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.

And here are the massac... er battles.

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.

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

Active Fronts:

Northwest
Bryansk
Southern

Leningrad attacks (NOT advancing)

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