GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel (USSR) vs Panzerjaeger Hortlund (Germany)

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

Russian forces keep pushing through cracks in the German lines.

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

German units lost the last 2 turns.

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

Near Orel 34 German units are now in trouble

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

In the center a small pocket of 7 units are cut off

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

and another dozen axis units could be cut off.

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

The Orel pocket was closed but German troops reopen the pocket.

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

but the southern pocket is closed for good with 16 units inside.

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

The net is closed again around Orel

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

The southern pocket is wiped out, losses.

Two questions:
1) Why the fort line from Voronesh to Rostov? No other use for all the brigades? Its quite safe to say it will never be needed.
2) How did you save so many (500) admin points?

Impressive blizzard offensive.

I like GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel's Soviet playstyle, allot! [;)]

I wish we could see an evenly matched MP game with these settings though! It's quite clear that Hortlund is getting beaten up quite seriously here [:(]

[Hortlund]

Yeah, looks like I got my Stalingrad in 41 instead of 42. Lets see what I can salvage from this. Good news is that the northern front holds, so I have a solid line pretty much from Finland to Vyazma, and south of there everything is a disaster

1. I had no idea I would be doing this good so was building a summer back stop. I still have one 50 miles deep in front of Moscow.
2. I have 4 sappers, 4 artillery regiments, 1 AT regiment per HQ. I have calvary corps with 2 sappers and 1 tank.I have changed out commanders.

What would I spend them on?

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

Pushing west enveloping Germans.

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

Destroyed units for this turn.

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

The Orel Pocket before it falls.

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

German losses included 6 Panzer, 10 MoT , 20 infantry divisions and allot of smaller units. Plus a few axis minor units.

[topeverest]

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

[GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel]

Pushing for Romania.
