Kursk withdrawal where able.

[BrianG]

Open. Troops surrendered and new lines reached.

[BrianG]

Moscow open. Light German activity

[BrianG]

They do put some pressure south and take forest hex with spear tip. Lines are now pierced down here and more withdraw ahead

[BrianG]

[BrianG]

Very large tank counterattack. Rev em up!

[BrianG]

[BrianG]

2000 tubes

and a failed attack

[BrianG]

but 2 reserve activations here does not help the Germans

[BrianG]

And of course the favored

5 sided attack

[BrianG]

final positions.

I was able to get good distance away from the German panzer ball even with making those counterattacks

[BrianG]

The main point is heading towards Tula.

[BrianG]

German get double reserve activation by panzer units.

Heavy Russian casulties

[BrianG]

a 2nd attack clears the hex

[BrianG]

second attack to take THIS hex

[BrianG]

The was my 5TH attack on the hex. TG for summertime MP's.

My days of soak off attacks are now few and fewer.

[BrianG]

a nice open field 1942 tank battle

[BrianG]

and a tank attack counterattack against the Tula spearhead

[BrianG]

Final Moscow.
I intend to hold the Oka line. It will become a tight sqeeze if te eattack continue onto south Moscow area.

[BrianG]

Down south I give ground and hold good river line positions. I hold bridgehead on west banks to harass German troops that get to close to the lines.

Clearly the attack strength is near Tula and minimal reserves down south for the Germans.
