Moscow mayhem... The Soviets employ ferry units as infiltrating guerillas, crossing an unguarded section of the river and -bim-bam-boom- they're behind my lines

I have 4 Italian units as reinforcements, which I'll have to send to this area (all others are divided units reconstituting)

The holes from the previous Soviet assaults have been plugged, thanks to the freshly arrived Italian alpine divisions.
But now another assault has been carried out near Kirsanov

Moving past Mozdok, to Kizlyar and northwards up the Baku-Astrakhan line.. I may be able to meet up with the units pushing east out of Elista
Using an engineer unit as recon I found Grozny to be undefended! For key locations like that I'd suggest placing a fixed counter representing local militia in them

We've done that at other places, so maybe a good idea for Grozny too. I think we have an available unit slot, we can ask Rick if he can put a garrison there.

I tend to think this aspect might discourage players from coup de maining certain locations.


This made me wonder how the Germans took Maikop, because I didn't recall any account of a battle there. I found it is reported that zbv800 moved into Maikop masquerading as Soviets, and convinced the garrison to retreat. Wow.

My Caucasus offensive seems to have come to a halt. A few weak attacks to capture Grozny were fruitless and in other places the Soviets have organized a solid defense.

The Soviet offensive north of Stalingrad has caused some havoc. The only available units I could rail in were some weak Jungarian security units. I pulled back from Kotovo.

More trouble along the Rtishchevo-Tambov line
I decided to start a pull back in the northern part of this sector, behind the river.
This shot before the manoeuver

On my side I saw my German 1st Infantry division reconstitute in Helsinki...  I'm gonna set fixed reconstitution points in my personal mod

Coming up: Soviet winter offensive 1942-43

The Soviet units will only reconstruct behind German lines if there are unconverted hexes. It is important to convert all regular supplied hexes. At first this seems like a chore but it is easily handled by the MP and Security forces. I have play tested over 20 D21 games and never had 1 unit do this.
If you change the Soviet reconstruction to fixed then a lot of units will probably not reconstruct because the Soviet track 1 objectives for most formations are close to the frontier.
As for the German unit reconstructing in Helsinki, it can happen because of the game engine but it is very rare. There is no problem setting the German units to fixed reconstruction. A lot of the German formations have programmed track 1 objectives but some may not be fully programmed. Formations in Norway are set to fixed.
Also 3.4 seems to be handling all reconstruction of units better than the previous versions.

Status: offline 		The positions north of Tambov.. I had to withdraw to a shorter line due to increased Soviet pressure. Having taken care of most rogue Soviet units, the Prinz Eugen dudes are being moved to the front. In other sectors , Moscow and further up I had to give ground a bit and deal with Soviet infiltrations but am not too worried
