Turn 25 End 1/3


North


My units are very weak but numerouse, so instead of direct assault I have decided to take advantage of gaps in German line. Intention is to isolate Axis troops from supply and let attitrion do the job.

Turn 25 End 2/3


Center


In center, near Smolensk situation is most favourable out of all part of the front.
Most cavalry corps were created here and aim it to keep Germans off balance via deep pernetrations.

Turn 25 End 3/3


South

I have very weak formations here, so objectives are limited - get some wins in Donetsk area and strenghten defences of Sevastopol.

Turn 26 End 1/2


North


Germans reinforced Pskov area so my weak troops are neither able to crack first defensive line nor advance beyond it.
Not looking good at all.
In Velikie Luki situation is even worse - I am not capable of doing any push at all.


Center


Only active part of central front is in Kursk area.
Germans defending very activily and slowly retreating, I am not strong enough to take advantage of this favourable conditions.

Turn 26 End 2/2


South

Barely any actions here. Lots of units were routed by German attacks in previsous turns. Valuable time is wasted and there is no prospect of significant improvement.

Turn 27 End 1/3


North


I managed to get small gap in German lines but I have not enough decent units to take advantage of it. It looks like Winter counteroffensive in the north ended before it has started.
Sad but true.

Turn 27 End 2/3


Center


Lots of German counterattacks stopped my penetrations and led to significant loss in strenght of my advancing troops.
Opponents defences are more cohesive now, so moment of greatest opportunity is gone.

Turn 27 End 3/3


South

I am gradually building up forces in the south to be ready for late winter small attacks and early spring shift to defense.

What victory conditions are you playing?

If sudden death is enabled you must be close to the T29 Axis auto-loss number (high watermark below 525).

nachricht aus berlin.

der russische winter lässt die waffen der deutschen truppen einfrieren,
motoren springen nicht mehr an.
dazu der anscheinend endlose nachschub an russischen soldaten.

die russischen truppen versuchen an verschiedenen abschnitten die front zu durchbrechen.

jetzt beginnt der noch kältere februar.

es gibt viel zu organisieren.

No sudden death as far as I remember.

Turn 28 End 1/2


North



Waiting for stenght to go up due to slow but steady inrease in number of deployed men.


Center


Even in favourable contitions in Kursk area advance is taking place at glacial pace

Turn 28 End 2/2


South



Arrivals of fresh troops will definitelly help, but any action in Donbas will be still limited.

Turn 29 End 1/2


North



Balance of powers seems to be shifting in German direction. I don't think I will make any gains here at atll.

Center

Slow advance.

Turn 29 End 2/2


South



Small advance driven by very weak Axis defence rather than significant improvement in strenght of Soviet army.

Turn 30 End 1/3


North



Well well well. Not only i haven't advanced at all, but it seems I will loos some of my troops due to small pocket just south of initiall ofensive line.

Turn 30 End 2/3


Center


Decent advance rate in Kurska area, there seems to good change to make decent gains here n terms of land and guards status.

Turn 30 End 3/3


South


Despite unimpressive speed of advance in the south I have manage to secure big win - encircling 1 German infantry division.

Turn 31 End 1/2


North


I have managed to open coridor to encircled troops, it is delaying inevitable but I will take it.


Center


Arrival of German reinforcements is complicating attacks significantly but situation near Belogrod looks very good - there is small but increasing chance of creating small pocket.
