T8 North

Leningrad port as bombed for the second time, the Luftwaffe receiving heavy casualties.

Novgorod is captured plus a couple of other areas, Germans are taking heavy casualties in the push.

Pulled a few units from the Northwest Front Armies sent them to the Center.

T8 Vyazma the Germans break through the hasty defenses East of Smolensk and get as far as Vyazma, Russian cut off one Arm Division and counter attack and rout it, a great morale boost as it is the first rout of the war.

More Western units arrive, taking up position South of Vyazma, forming two lines.

Ural MD moves slightly towards Moscow.

Moscow MD the same.

Units from other fronts arrive to beef up the Res Front and some fresh reinforcements.

No where near enough units, but the Panzers must be short of fuel now.


It should be noted, nearly all the HQs in contact with the enemy here, North and South, have 4 Sapper regiments in them.

T8 South the Germans push Eastwards in the direction of D-Town on both sides of the river.

The majority of attacks are held off north of the river, inflicting nice casualties on the Arm.

South of the river a loan Arm division nearly reaches D-town, its also blocking my units pulling back. So Have to attack it and rout it to withdraw, free of ZOCs.

The good CV units are the ones I pulled out on T1 & T2 to build forts or from the southwestern front which never saw much action.

No doubt routing 2 pz divisions has improved not only the morale of your troops but your personal morale as well! For SHC at this point routing panzer divisions feels like capturing Berlin. Gentle reminder to the Germans that the SHC bites back. If he keeps bombing LEN port, he's not gonna have a any stukas left.

IDK the germans have alot of bombers to lose based on my game...200 more down in flames in T23 over leningrad......[8D]

One key note on your T8 pictures you should have left a couple divisions at the base of his penetration, yes he will destroy them....but it adds Zoc supply penalties for him to push supplies through then...thus reducing what gets to his spearheads and costs him more trucks....every little bit and only for the cost prolly 1-2 divisions as the guys inside are dead anyway so leaving one at the far end wouldnt matter.

AGN drives on Leningrad with just 3 PD, but a new set-up for the infantry.

AGC gets a turn of mud.

AGS smashes a hole in the lines.

Any HQBUP in AGC with this mud ????

Yes I was able to do 2 near the base of operations. I simply did not have the room which is a good problem to have.

At this point I am all in in the center.

Yeah a nice morale boost.

I presume you are talking about Smolensk.

Mouse not as quick as eye problem, there.

I thought I clicked on the hex next to the 3,3 Arm, then moved my mouse to the next unit to the right, a delay in whatever moved the unit to the wrong hex, not the first time that has happened to me.

Recall my War Room blog on mud not being so bad for the Germans ?? Ask Huw Jones.

I agree, helps both sides I feel, just depends on what is happening at the time.

I can say that I learnt a new trick from a friend

T9 Leningrad

Germans are pushing forward to cut the rail line, but taking heavy casualties in the push.

Will evacuate KV-1 plant T10, but probably leave other industry behind, a so much is threatened elsewhere and presently Leningrad MAYBE ok for the winter, where as the other Industrial site will be in German hands.

T9 Center

Mud that was VERY handy, allow me to pull back.

T9 South

The Germans push further Eastwards on either side of D-Town, D-town is evacuated.

The forward 2 Panzer divisions, are pushed back and one cut off again and routed.

In the center I didn't pull back, as you may have noticed.

I was on auto pilot, I need to go slower in the server games, in the future, such is life.
