GeneralfeldmarschallWalterModel (USSR) vs Panzerjaeger ... - 1/3/2017 10:19:31 PM

Status: offline 		1941-1945 basic game, no house rules.

Mild Blizzard and +1

I manage to break open most of the pockets, rail 3 good units to the Finnish Land Bridge and rail another 12+ high CV units towards Leningrad.

I disband 20 units total saving 30 pts for next turn. I plan on setting up 2 Fronts with the best infantry/morale ratings at the Army level
to defend Leningrad. Both Fronts will have the best fighter/bomber units. I sent all the level bombers into reserve and disbanded some
of the crappier fighter units.

Going with 2 sapper regiments, 4 artillery and 1 AT Regiment per Army to start.

Basic checker board across the Northern Front.

I plan on holding Leningrad.

To put it mildly...............

G can't win a game in the 1st couple of turns, but can go a long way towards losing it. A start like this shows a great lack of experience and spells doom against a more experienced opponent

Dou you expect / does it look to you that enemy is making early play for Krivoi Rog?

Where is the bulk of the german armor?

Looks like he is headed for Moscow and hooking north with panzers in south.

Yes from what I have read turns 1-4 are the ball game for Germany.

From what I have read I should be building allot of sappers.

So I have 2 per Army, 4 artillery units, 1 AT and 1 MG/AT.

Not sure that's the best mix, but what I have so far.

Is it just me, or did you save many more frontier units than typical?

I been pulling back 3-4 hexes per turn so it hard to pocket much of anything.

I forecast that you will have a "great" Blizzard Offensive with this many troops built up.

Status: offline 		Germans push north east, but combat tempo is low and very few units have surrendered. Most industry in the south is in the Urals now. I will not move anything out of Leningrad or Moscow until Germans get closer.
