As for the Axis turn 11 attacks : There were 99 battles: 59 observed, 8 held, 22 retreated, 6 routed, and 3 "supplies" whatever that is, and one surrender.

I'm guessing that the Russian Air Force isn't as big as it's forecast to get yet. Or maybe I have too many airbases. Maybe I should think about disbanding one or more of them.

Status: offline 		Here's a close-up of the Leningrad situation. Nothing is breaking through right now so I'm somewhat encouraged. Leningrad is empty but maybe Kevin doesn't know that.......or maybe he's trying to free the Finns. Or maybe he's trying to deprive the SU of the manpower that Leningrad has. Maybe I should send him an email telling him it's empty of industry and he'll divert to Moscow or something.

Status: offline 		There's a couple of Front HQ's that don't have any airplanes: Bryansk and Reserve. I need to look into that. Ground support is very important in this game. Ural's and Volga Fronts don't have any planes either but then they don't need any yet.

Status: offline 		I've discovered you can learn quite a bit from this screen, and uncover potential opportunities for improvement, although I also should have added "...and sort by HHQ."  But on to what's here, or not.

6th Army is overloaded, and with 200k men is your largest army.  Really too big and should try and shrink it down.  It's also commanded by Muzychenko who is a "Quad-4".  That is to say a grade 4 in admin, initiative, infantry and morale, i.e a substandard leader.  Much better commanders are available, though maybe you prefer to spend the APs elsewhere.  Koniev, Rokossovsky, Tolbukhin, Zakharov and Malinovsky all appear to be looking for meaningful work.

You have most armies locked, but have a few with high SUs and at support level 3.  So they'll bleed off unless that is your intention.

Interesting choice on the plus-up of Moscow Military District.  I don't think that command ever converts to a front. 

Bryansk Front only has 2 armies, you might add a third, even if it's only a Stavka shell army initially.  You could move some CUs around to offload some out of SW front and transfer it to the same shell army for better balance.

Sorry about the missing sort. Yeah, I've been looking around on this screen and I'm seeing nugets of good info here and there. Thanks for pointing this out.

Yeah, 6th Army is way too big. I'll move another HQ over there and relieve it somewhat.

It's mainly due to an oversight on my part I'm pretty sure. Good catch.

Moving some of the SW front to Bryansk is a good idea. Another good catch. Thanks.

Status: offline 		On the Moscow Military District plus-up, I meant that you assigned armies to that command and that was interesting as I don't think it will ever move.  If you ever get moving west in a serious way that might become an issue as the armies keep moving further from Moscow.  But clearly that is not a concern now.

And FWIW, this is not the level of play we've seen from you in the previous two PBEMs. Keep up the good work . Klilly is going to find himself in trouble if you simply keep playing this well.

Thanks for your kind words.......and don't worry about hijacking my thread.........anybody can post whatever is really interesting no matter what in the world it is.....'cause I like interesting things. So I'll be watching your AAR with interest too. Good luck to the both of you and may you both have some fun, exercise your minds, and try to teach each other your distinctive playstyle. We all have one and I'm on the brink of finding out how KLilly plays because I've played him so many times. He and I think a lot alike I think. He is a really good compeditor and I'm thankful he's playing me ( again ). This is fun.

Lemme look the area up when I get a chance ( when it's my turn again ).....and we'll see what you mean.

EDIT: Oh. I see what you mean. Um........the dotted line doesn't travel between me and the German units so I'm assuming that I'm in that hex by necessity as that hex could be entered by the Axis dudes.
