Time for spring & summer fun [:)] For now joy at OKH that Tula bridgehead over Oka was stabilized.

[cpt flam]

return of the mud

[Peltonx]

Good struggle for sure, Germany has a small OOB for 4/42.

[morvael]

But they still got a lot of fight left in them [:)]

[cpt flam]

I made a lone attack against the Hungarian stack in front of my Tank X
this made for few losses
850 men for 830
13 Art vs 6

[cpt flam]

again a small activity
800 men for 1 300 and 17 ART for both of us

[morvael]

So you have detected my motorized units when they shifted to the SW of Orel...

[Peltonx]

Your going to lose men, but you have to make him pay a cost.

Also you will have areas of the front you should baable to attack on, these seeming meaningly attacks really help grind down German OOB below 3.5 million.

Once German OOB is below 3.5 million it really starts seeing the effects and opens up allot more weak spots in the lines and the steamrolling can start in summer of 43.

Allot of Russian players don
t attack enough in 42. Areas where you know your going to lose units attack attack attack as your going to lose 100,000 men to surrender anyways like that bulge in the lins atleast make him pay some cost for them.

[morvael]

But who has the stomach to accept 1:6 losses, now that the counterattack feature exists?

[cpt flam]

and you must accapt that this AAR got late (actual turn 62 playing)
Konstantin Rokossovsy is promoted Général-Leitenant
they made a big pocket with good weather
this week i could reopened it
good news is the first guard tank corp created
losses are
2.9 k for 11.6 of my own men
70 vs 370 Art

[morvael]

I'm a veteran of making reopenable pockets, guess my battle plans are too ambitious or the execution too sloppy [:)]
It seems, I always lack just one 50MP division to make a tight pocket...

[chaos45]

either way thats a massive pocket you will most likely secure this turn......
