Road to Leningrad - another server game

[Seminole]

Another crack at RtL, trying to balance my pace with my infantry support.

Not the summer skies we want, but here we go.



AGN motorizes security units to try and manage the interior pocket created by the left hook of Panzer Group 4.
The smashing of the front lines and deep armored thrust to link with AGC should place a lot of defenders out of position to contribute from the outset.



Air losses.



Ground losses.



Destroyed units.

The Soviets break the pocket.



Panzer Group 4 continues their torrid pace.
8th PzD crosses the lower Velikaya river, with scouts clearing to the southern banks of the Sorot river.
Notably, Soviets in the swamps prevent 1st PzD from going east, and they are redirected to scout north into Latvia.

Recon gives us a better picture of what we're up against:



Wha, yeah
C'mon, yeah, yeah, c'mon, yeah
I am a, yeah, I'm a back door man

The men don't know, but the little girls understand

Turn 4

Weather appears to be closing in.



Forgot to get the 'before' pics this turn, but the Soviets linked up between Pskov and Velikie Luki, isolating the German armored thrust.

Decision was made to double back with the vanguard and ensure as solid a pocket as possible around Pskov, regroup, and try to make another move on Novgorod by week 6.



Save hasn't been updated in two weeks, so this game may be kaput.
