This is the largest German cv reduction I can remember in this war

I continue attacking this flank of the Saratov area.

Sort of hit here and then next turn finds another spot away from recent strong reinforcements

another flank attack leaving low forts ahead next turn

final Saratov looks like Silly is giving up on the East side of the Volga south of Saratov.

I will continue down RR and look to strike west and get bridgehead over the river come spring.

Iv'e formed another tank army.

Besides my pole reinforcement (will I still get them - Poland is very far away?), I could use one more infantry army HQ as well.

final Moscow

Keep looking for weakness and get some wins under the belt and reduce morale of German units which lose the battles.

My army building is still in the building stage.

decision time

Zhuhov has again been dismissed. [X(][:-][:o][:@]

His political rating is now a 2. Jeez can you please just take him out back to the shed and be done with it.

These are my choices.

Go with Vasilevsky who has an admin rating of 9.

When you lose Moscow a game of musical chairs will begin at Stravka. Just leave it alone, when you get the initiative back and begin to win battles then whomever you pick will stay for awhile.

mid turn I promoted vasili.

With luck I did not get any attribute reduction.

Zhukov became Western front hq, although I was planning to give him another front which I was going to load up with my unaffiliated tank armies.
May still do but I am now out of ap for this turn.

North Moscow

Govorov attacks. Hex of opportunity

New spot to attack.

german units dug in in clear terrain are attackable.

Saratov. Hill hex lore

so I was going to send armor down river and pressure directly on Stalingrad.

Then the light bulb (on/off) toggled again.

Silly left his precious hill hex guarded by inferior minor and a mountain division

I attack and will stack with enough armor that rough hex cannot be retaken.

Thus Germans are now in for slugfest around Saratov.[:)]

Back and forth with the offensive.

here working my way down the Rr

sensing a possible pincer, I attack over frozen river.

this low odds attack failed

Here are my 135 countermoves.

I nicely corral a Rumanian unit

final saratov

one last attack near Moscow.

Silly counter attack here, I flank attack elsewhere where front weakened.

final moscow

German open and attacks
