Russia! Why not? (Morvael welcome)

[cpt flam]

So back for a new game
full FoWar, random weather
pictures will be after my moves
in the north pocket held
i did not attack Riga

[cpt flam]

some panzers stop at the gates of Minsk
we loss nearly 16 thousands troopers for 255 thousands [:'(]
as above pockets held

[cpt flam]

no lvow pocket
i took the city for my railyard
our friends from the south will be activated
airwar is a joke 95 airplanes for only 1700
on the radio it seems that Zhukov has been killed trying to escape from a pocket
that's all for today

[AFV]

You were kidding about Zhukov, right?

[morvael]

No, it's true story, I'm afraid

[cpt flam]

so turn2
in the north only thing was to clear pocket and advance a bit
i forget to tell you that we scrapped 2 rifle div and 6 ART III on first turn
from now on you will see my rail advance too

[cpt flam]

7 PzDiv is arrived near Vitebsk
in the meantime 35 Inf relieve near Minsk
losses for this turn
Axis 6 800 men,130 art and 50 panzers
Russia 210 000, 3150 art & 1500 tanks

[cpt flam]

for the moment GD is acting as guard in Rovno

this week we destroyed
3 Armor, 4 Motorized, 12 Rifle, 1 Cav div and 3 AT brigades

[cpt flam]

Proskurov has been liberated from communists
it was time to link AGS and Rumania
this create a pocket to clear later
no great move more south

[morvael]

I can't make myself to feed the Germans with my divisions to for free, when there is no hope in holding - therefore I run. I think I run too fast, the Germans seem to be well ahead of the historical schedule. Maybe I run too fast? It's great fun to play the Soviets for the first time and against a real opponent.
