Status: offline 		At the beginning of turn 10 now. I tightened my hold on Kiev and have units moving south along the Dniepr, in order to capture the few bridges down to Dniepropetrovsk.
I'm starting to move panzers and arty away from Kiev to strengthen the central sector, of which I show a screenie
I entered Smolensk but a Soviet tank unit promptly pushed my guys out. No worries as I've already have units moving to the Moscow highway from the north behind the city
The Red airforce attempts sporadic attacks but pose no problem for the Luftwaffe. I activated some Romanian air units to provide assistance in the upcoming assault on Odessa

Watch out those 'few bridges' have some immoble Soviet arty watching over them. I've had to assault from both sides to avoid high losses. Attacking with tanks / mech units is better than the foot dudes because of the lower losses I think.

We're still making progress but are starting to encounter more structured Soviet opposition.

I'll post more details and data later on... For now here's the animation from turns 7 till 12

Status: offline 		Before starting turn 13 I'll post some situation maps.

Let's start off with Armee Gruppe Nord.
The units assigned to clear the Baltic countries did so with only the bare minimum of resources. Riga and Pskov required some effort and Tallinn is put under siege.
But the commander in the northernmost sector reports that he had to deal with a Soviet counter attack. Although he can hold his current positions fairly well he asks for extra troops in order to push towards Narva.
His problem may be solved by the Waffen-SS units coming out off Pskov.
The other cities along the proposed winter stop line are in sight. Luga Novgorod and Staraya Russa will surely be contested but can be taken. Then the AG Nord guys will start to dig in.

Status: offline 		Armee Gruppe Mitte will attempt to lure a great amount of Soviet troops in a pocket between
Vyazma and Mozhaysk. Let's wait and see how many units Elmer will move forward.
I think I have enough time before the final push towards Moscow. I know that the Soviets are becoming stronger, but destroying a huge Kessel can pay off.

Panzer and Mot troops used to advance to Kiev are starting to make their way to AG Mitte

Odessa is under siege, mainly by Rumanian units. We're racing towards the Dniepr bend, where heavy resistance can be expected at Dniepropetrovsk.

Status: offline 		It's nice to see my troops and Moscow on the screen without zooming out too much.
I'm considering some routes of attack once my infantry has caught up... In the north I may have to cross the canal and attack from behind
Note that the idea of a central pocket is still present

Rzhev needs to be taken in order to protect the northern flank of the Moscow spearhead

Less jolly are the Soviet counter attacks out of Staraya Russa. The road to Pskov is undefended as I 'm still struggling to eliminate a stubborn Soviet Mot Division west of that city

Seems I'll be able to seal off the Crimean as planned
Dniepropetrovsk and Zaporozhe promise to be a tough contest, and I like to get as far as Melitopol

This situation gives me an adrenaline rush.
Moscow is in sight and I don't think I'll ever get a better chance of taking it
The approaches north and south are being secured but I'm gonna have my infantry to perform forced marshes and exposure to paperthin flanks. I wanna conduct a credible assault before the Soviets pour in more units.

My last turn was very useful in disrupting Soviet production

I've observed Soviet units streaming in.
That northern corridor is an extremely risky move.
I'm gonna abandon my plan for a Mozhaysk kessel.. I would waste valuable time if I did attempt that

As stated this is a personal mod due to the fact that D21 is a work in progress and I want to leave the honors to Steve and Rick.

I decided to go for it! Assault Moscow before the Soviets get the chance to move in more reinforcements
Here's a shot of the advance in progress before most of the combat has been set up
