January 1943, East of Leningrad
The Soviet 2nd Shock and 37th Armies launch a simultanious attack to eliminate the German corridor which cuts off Leningrad.
Quickie 14 turn TOAWI scenario by Stephen Duncan, converted by Japlance which has been given a Redux treatment (event to send in German reinforcements wasn't fully defined)

I'm playing as the Soviets vs Eric DK's AG Nord force
I have no arty available yet, but that doesn't stop me from going into it head first. There's not much time and replacements are almost nihil

The Germans are well dug in. It may take longer to break through their lines
Some attacks are progressing more-or-les OK, the sotheastern one may be exploitable
Shown are the latest gains and planned route, but this may all change depending on how the Germans react

Use your Baltic Fleet. Their guns could reach at least as far as Gorodok. Just ask the survivors of the German 170th Infantry Division. [:D]

There are no ships or aircraft in this scenario

Turn 3
Got things rolling.. crossed the Neva in several places, although the 2nd Shock Army coming from the east did more damage

Turn 4

Being flexible is the key. I'm gonna alter my plan of attack...
A breakthrough in the north gives me the opportunity to pocket a sizable enemy group in the northwest
I can cut them off and then attack south before German reinforcements arrive

Turn 5
All is going according to plan. Managed to cut off the Germans in the northwest and made good ground in other places

Turn 6
The northern pocket is being mopped up while I'm keeping the pressure on in other sectors.

Haven't been on this one for a while. My opponent was abroad.
Turn 7 and radually shifting the direction south

The turn 9-10 difference... I'm on the move, but I spotted further German movement in the center

There's no much room to manoeuver, so I just keep pushing my way south
