Intervention

The Swedish ambassadors in both Moscow and Berlin come forward with a ceasefire proposal backed by many neutral peace loving nations. (but not the USA or England.. funny that..hehe)
Both players should disengage and fall back to pre-war borders. However as the Soviet Union instigated hostillities they must hand over the Lvov bulge to the germans as an independant neutral zone with german civil authority.
Sweden points out that the Soviet Union, however heroically lead is giving up Soviet soil to relentless German advance. This is the only option if The CPSU truly endorses peace between all peoples. German on the other hand should show it's true strength and adopt the proposal as the understanding victim of hot headed plans that went astray. The USSR and Germany can decide on repatriations once the intial cease-fire has taken hold.
Ignoring this offer could lead to an enless war between two great nations and millions of needless deaths.

The Swedish envoys will be waiting on your replies while enjoying a relaxing spa and massage.

A few minor counterattacks were launched, with no effect. Also, the 4th Panzer Army airfields were struck, damaging a small number of planes on the ground. The temperature warmed up, turning the roads to mud, cheering the troops who know that this will provide a week of quiet before the pounding attacks of the Wehrmacht continue.

Also, Stalin reacted coolly to the Swedish peace feelers, believing it is a trick supported by the Germans to allow time to build numerous jet fighters to dominate the air. With the situation grim, he know that no signs of weakness can be shown, but if the Germans stop attacking he would be agreeable. Why the Germans would do this though is unknown.

The peace loving Swedes may not understand, but the Soviets *must* be destroyed. The aggresive big Sovietunion is now on the backfoot, and this is a good oppurtunity to free the world from this monster of country. Germany was peacefull and was ruthlesly backstabbed by the soviet horde! So the werhmacht now has the goal of completely destroying the armed bandits called the Sovietunion. After our victory over the Sovietunion, it will be divided to the original countries (Russia, Ukraine, Baltic Sates etc.) and we will do everything to be sure they have a peacefull government <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Back to the front:

No real action in this mud... 1st SS panzer korps tried a little attack with heavy air support, but right in the begining of the attack our panzers got struck in the mud, so the attack was cancelled.

A heavy counterattack struck and threw back an infantry korps east of Kharkov, with very heavy losses. Other minor attacks were launched, and some minor fighting occured in the air. Snow returned, sending Stalin into seclusion. The NKVD is scouring the cities for men hiding from the universal draft, finding many who are then assigned to penal units as minesweepers. Still there is a major manpower shortage developing.

The defeated infantry corps requested panzer help, and as usual the panzers treated the soviets roughly, destroying 2 soviet armies. Dnepropetrovsk is close to falling, and we are nearing to Kharkov.

The overconfident German SS panzers, along with their follow on panzer units, were bombed when they outran their air cover again. The air attacks alone caused heavy losses, followed by ground attacks that threw back one panzer corps with heavy losses, and then destroyed the elite SS panzer corps that was leading the encirclement of Dnepropetrovsk. Although there were celebrations after this great victory against the capitalist west, the army has learned its lesson that no defeat of the enemy is permanent, and the Wehrmacht will just attack that much more strongly next time.

However, Dnepropetrovsk is temporarily saved.

The german leadership is in great difficulties... Someone please tell us how long fw190a's set on escort with range of 13 will defend the subunits! As these panzer korpses were below 10 hexes from the hq's. Now that means that: I believed wrongly that they will defend 13 hexes away or this is a bug. The 2 destroyed panzer korpses in the summer were calculated risk, but this is plain stupid from me if I know the escort ranges wrongly. Now I stop whining and back to the front:

Front news:

After the commanders of the remaining panzers saw the execution of the Luftwaffe officiers responsible for this great defeat they get back on the usual business of revenging the lost comarades. The capturing of Dnepropetrovsk were cancelled after the tragic loss of the ss panzer korps. In the Kharkov front our panzers destroyed a soviet tank and a normal army as revenge. This were not nearly equal exchange for our fine ss panzers <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> We have to remember time and time again that the enemy is still strong and well lead.

As a follow up to the prior week, the 11th Army airfields were smashed by numerous escorted and later unescorted bomber attacks that caused massive damage to the planes caught on the ground. 1 attack destroyed or damaged 252 planes. In addition, a sharp attack was launched on an infantry corps, causing heavy losses. A freeze and heavy rain followed, turning the roads and countryside to a muddy mess, allowing time to rebuild the destroyed front lines north of Kharkov.

The Luftwaffe appears to be running short of Fw190s finally, presumably due to all fighter production being changed over to the new jet fighters that have yet to have any real impact on the fighting.

Well there is no problem with the production, just we got a *lot* of new fighter units. This green recruits get the second grade fw190A's so we have some supply problems, but not for long as every 2 weeks a new front unit is reequipped with me262A's so there will be a supply of fw's. The enemy tries to impres with attacks on peripherical airfields, but wisely does'nt tries to attack the main Luftwaffe forces. This week we struck back hard at the Volga front and the soviets suffered great losses and caused close to none for our attackers. No other action in this cursed weather.

A few minor attacks were launched without any success. Fortunately, the rain continued again this week, allowing more time to rebuild the line.

Absolutely no action this turn, only some minor regrouping for some small attacks if the weather turns colder. Luftwaffe rests until the offense starts again.

Absolutely no losses this turn.

Things were quiet along the front, with only a minor probing attack launched against the invaders of the Ukraine. Preparations continue for the storm to break again, although the wet wether was followed by blizzards as the moisture froze and fell across the countryside. After many delays, the first T34 /85 is ready for combat, but not in enough numbers to have an affect yet.

Only minor losses.

The prepared offense for this week was cancelled due the weather. All forces rested, only one air attack against a tank army in the Brest region to prevent an attack against the rear supply line of our advancing panzers in the south front.

A few attacks were launched without any success on the ground. However, Munich was bombed causing light damage to the heavy industry. Also, the Luftwaffe took to the sky in massive numbers to fight against one of the ground attacks that had support from the Red Air Force. The result was that the Luftwaffe lost more fighters and well over 100 bombers compared to the brave Red Air Force pilots, fighting against the new jet fighters.

This bad weather gives the soviets a lifeline <img src="mad.gif" border="0"> Soviet flak is very efficient, that is why we lose so many planes. Soviet fighters are though too but they will be erradicated as we have now 5 full strength me262 unit. Next year we will rule the sky even more dominantly. The news about the new soviet t34/85's are quite disturbing. Our spies reported that this new soviet tanks are capable of hurting our panthers, and on favorable conditions they might even knock out tigers. Our technical edge is shrinking and our panzer losses will raise. The german scientist began on the work on a new stronger tiger tank, to have a weapon in the future which is suprior to soviet hardware. No news on the front only some bombing of the soviet troops.

A couple of very successful counterattacks were launched in heavy blizzards, throwing the invaders back from the outskirts of Dnepropetrovsk, and in Poland. Some success was gained in the air on the Polish front, with air combat coming out to the Red Air Force advantage, although decisively. Other air attacks led to fairly heavy losses so overall it was at best a draw, although a number of the new jet fighters were downed in the south.

Also, Munich was hit again, with very light damage to the Me262 plant there, and Danzig suffered light damage to its Me262 factory.

Panzer units rested again this turn as they were strengthened by a lot of artillery to enable the the breakthrough of the entrenched lines of the soviets. In the south the bombing continued. The enemy is still strong and capable of beating up our infantry korpses. But seems there is a strict order from the Stavka not to chase the beaten german infantry korpses... The mighty red army seems to be so afraid of our panzers that the bolschevik troops do not dare to move out from entrenched positions... Very wise, as we still have enough panzer reserve in the middle and northern parts to severly punish soviet attackers <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I don't want to make false propaganda so I have to confess that no soviet planes were shoot down (I mistakenly hit the 1 instead the 0) this turn <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

It is all false, I wish <img src="mad.gif" border="0"> . However, the Red Air Force, without releasing too many top secret details, has an average experience of 72%, give or take. This includes bombers, though, which are higher experience because overall their losses have not been terrible, with the exception of some of them, and they have trained a lot. The fighter units range from a high of 77 for one La5FN unit, and others in the low 70s, to a majority in the 60s, and a fair number in the 50s that are training. They are generally staying away from the frontlines unless their experience gets up into the mid-60s, but often are involved in combat in the low 60s also. Generally only 2-3 HQs in the front line have fighters on CAP.

There are plenty of reserve Yak9 and La5FN fighters (current top of the line planes), but they drop the experience level so much that I am keeping replacement levels low on some "training" HQs to boost experience at the cost of numbers (they would be shot down anyway). For example the unit at 77 was at 88! after one successful series of battles by it, but replacements dropped it down. And it is still under 100 operational planes, and a failry small number of damaged ones. Others get boosted to full 100% numbers. It has been tough keeping up with the Luftwaffe and their almost total concentration on Fw 190a, HE 177 and now Me 262 planes.
