Turn 1. 6/22/41
The crusade against the Bolshevism has begun!!!!

The eslavic hordes will feel the pain...will feel the power of Germany and his great leader Adolf Hitler
With a mathematical precision the German Army crosses the russian border seizing the first objectives with success.
Before, a preventive air attack of the Luftwaffe, destroyed near of 6000 soviet planes.
The envelop movements of the panzer korps along the front surrender or isolated the core of the soviet army placed near the frontier.
To support Army Group South the OKH has placed 3 news panzer korps in this sector, two of them in Romania.
Losses Axis/USSR :
sq: 597 / 9195
afv: 88 / 2619
gun: 40/ 3383
air: 279/ 5975
Seig Heil. :rolleyes:

Turn 2.
The battles along of the frontier has ended. All the isolated units surrendered to the Power of German Army.

Around 6000 squads, 2500 tanks and 2000 guns have lost the soviets this week.
The race through Russia has begun. The panzers aim directly to Pskov.
Guderian in the center takes Minsk and secure the supply lines.
The panzers from 1st Pz Army are in the outskirts of Zhitomir. Odessa has fallen.
Seig Heil

Yes Tamas I also hope this will go past '41

How about we persuade Josan as well?
Stalin was impossible to find during the last two weeks since the treacherous Nazi invasion, so there is no comment from Stavka as yet. Down with Capitalism!

Turn 3
Not too much resistance. The soviet strategy is send weak units to cut the german supply lines. Nothing can stop the german onslaught
Pskov in the north, Mogilev in the center and Zhitomir and Uman in the south are now under the german flag.
Losses since start :
Axis/USSR
sq: 1010 / 16941

How about a new historic house rule?
... Germans have to stay around Smolensk and not attack Moscow until late august in 41 (or anyone with a name beginning with "jo" and end with "san" it is early september of 41) and only party around:)
It would be enough to survive 41:)
Normaly I would say it is extremely hard to survive 41 against an agressive german player, and Josan is "slightly" agressive attacker:)

Turn 4.
The Red Army has dissapear. Not resistance at all. The Stavka are still sending units to cut off the german supply spearheads. He managed to do in the south where 2 Pz korps seen the comunications broken for a while
However, the supply lines that goes to Leningrad and Moscow are well secured by now.
Panzers from AGN are now in range to strike Leningrad when the infantry from 18th Army arrived to secure Pskov. Demyansk is also in attack range from a Pz Kops that overruned a soviet and nasty soviet HQ on his way
Vitebsk has fallen to AGC and Guderian are now in the outskirts of Smolensk. The infantry, as expected from High Command, can follow the speed of the panzers.
The Army Group South are near to strike Kiev and the Dniepr. The panzers are ready for the hard duty that Hitler, our Fuhrer, expext of us. We will die for them against the soviet and evil StaK62lin:mad:
However, two Pz korps from AGC are placed near Gomel in case AGS needs some support :p
Losses since start:
Axis/USSR :
sq: 1080 / 18370
afv: 123/ 5181
guns: 101/ 6620
planes: 350 / 6031
:rolleyes:
Sieg Heil

House Rules?

Are you still playing with House Rules that change of unit from one HQ to another is virtually virboten?
Kerry of NewZealand(German) and Mike of Canada(Russia) have actually gotten to Nov 30 42...from Jun 41. Germany is poised to attack Kharkov and Kursk. Otherwise, the Germans are far from Leningrad and Moscow is a distant airflight away. see other thread NewZealand vs Canada.

In his first public appearance after the treacherous attack, StaK62lin vows to fight to the bitter end against the evil Jositler!

"The mad Fascist invaders are meeting their doom even as we speak. Panzer troopers around Zhitomir have reportedly eaten the local dogs after being left 3 weeks without food by their Nazi Capitalist oppressors!

If they finally smarten up and surrender me might give them some hot meals in Siberia

" End of public radio address. Long live the wise leadership of the Party! Down with Jositler and his minions!

In the south the soviets are running as rabbits!!!! Kiev and Dnepropetovks has fallen with no fights!!!

The Dnieper has been crossed in many points and now, Kharkov, are within the strike range of the panzers...

afv: 207 / 5216

I agree with you Josan - I'm playing K62 as well and if it wasn't for my beginners inexperience and near brutal partisan strikes which have left me 6-8 supply hexes back I think there's a pretty reasonable chance i'd be closer to Moscow than the 1 hex away i am now at the end of Sept! Of coarse, i have to play K62 again to find that out for sure, but my current game has allowed me to completly revise my German strat - for next time! At the end of my K62 game I will be posting up more maps, since I can only put up 5 at a time, and perhaps you'l be seeing the same as i am seeing!
Good luck, Josan! I hope you'l get to show ME how Germany is played by the master soon!

Looks like you're going to loose that one mate

You gotta have at least encircled Moscow by this date because it will take a few weeks to eliminate the Moscow defenders even if unsupplied.
