Congratulations for this great AAR!
The problem now is that I don't see how the Russians will be able to keep.
The number of russian troops which fell almost 200,000 in just 10 days, it looks really bad and I do not see how you can do better. You didn't suffer any vast encirclement.[:(]

very nice AAR indeed, i like the maps with all the info's.

You know that you can check the Axis Oil level? it's really strange that he stopps. he sure could have moved his infantry units. giving you time to dig in is a strange move. i am really looking forward here. my guess would be that your fronts will break soon if he keeps up the pressure. but you seem to be less concerned and to have a plan. it also looks like he throws everything at you with the Sec Div near Rostow. might be an idea to do some small landings and keep him busy behind the lines.

Well we did have a few big encirclements in the center but we also lost a whole army plus a tank corp on T2 after we decided to pull the trigger and destroy 9MotD. Ara let me know he was going to make me pay that. I should have retreated but we've been hit by a lot of C&C penalties along with doing as stalin wishes which is to fight at all costs (OOD #227). We must fight. Though we are in a pickle as you'll see coming up in the following turns my front in the central has been ripped to tatters and without rail lines near it's going to be hard to quickly get reinforcements there.

I know why he stopped, ara is roleplaying a 2 day pause to reorganize after his large encirclements. (OOC: He felt bad for me and decided he'd slow the pace for a turn even though i reminded him i have not yet begun to fight. He also wanted to save some oil for his mad cap drive to baku in the coming months. )

I haven't been able to find manpower to launch any invasions yet. for now every unit other then a minor garrison of 47A in the caucasus is going into the meat grinder.

Ara's course in the center will be decisive. i think if he play historically it will get him into trouble. he could quite easily drive along the Don to Stalingrad. And once Rostow has fallen, he will be able to run down to the Caucasus. but if he choses to do so he plays into your hands. he will stretch his troops that far that he will have to concentrate his power on two or three areas. but with your increasing reinforcments you will most likely be able to slow him down until a stalemate is reached.

but if he choses to play a little gamey he may will crash your line wherever it's possible, going for your units instead for OKW goals. and then you will be in trouble. you will have to reinforce way back to get a line instead of putting fresh units into battle like peacemeals. that's what makes an Axis win easy against the AI: once the frontline is really shattered you just overrun all areas that get replacements und put them off supply again and again.
