hoping I can count on my screens for a couple of turns to get some more units into the front lines. If I don't John will blow through my
Stalin Line and then it would be a race for the river to the east. And he's got Panzers.

Dneper. In previous versions of this scenario the Romanians are in garrison mode until turn 4 but not this scenario.

to get those squadrons that were shot down earlier in the game. The problem is getting these reinforcements to where they can really
be used before John gets there.

Status: offline 		Here's a closeup of the Riga are now. I'm expecting John to thrust his units across the river either in turn 4 or 5. I expect him to do that
because he knows that the defensive line is just going to get tougher as time passes. I'm going to be digging in further, and more units
are going to show up and I'm shipping in more arty etc. I really like how John is using his bombers. He does pre-attack strikes to get the
arty to disentrench and so on. It's more realistic that way. Cool. I've been watching John's moves and he doesn't waste any efforts.
I like how he handles his units.

even though he hasn't yet mopped up in the rear yet. It's working out pretty well for him so far. My roadblocks aren't slowing him down
very much but he is being slowed down somewhat. I'm getting my units to their defensive positiions pretty well however, so I'm expecting
we will be toe-to-toe here pretty soon. I'm building a defensive line to the west of Smolensk and John's units are approaching it.

Status: offline 		Here's the area south of the Marshes. I've gotten a good start on the Stalin Line but I'm worried that John will just go around the SW
end of the line where the Romanians are pushing north and east. I'm guessing that turn 4 or soon thereafter John will be crossing the
river at some place where I haven't yet put defenders. That's why it's a kind of race for me to get my people in place before John gets
there.

more real soon now. But I've got a good start on the defensive line along the river to the right side. So all is good here so far.

Riga area and this is the situation I expect John will unleash on me sometime soon.

Hey there Wuffer dude. Thanks for posting your thanks. I was wondering if anybody is reading this thing. I'm hoping I can find some
interesting stuff to post so you guys won't be bored to tears reading this AAR. Suggestions are welcome. I especially like pictures in my
AAR so I'm trying to make this thing read like a comic book with a picture on each panel and with some explaination verbage to go with
it. So far so good. This post is my 17,798th one and for the life of me I can't remember posting that much stuff. Really.

game and this is the beginning of turn 6 thereof.

Hey there Petey dude. Thanks for your interest. I'm having a blast with this game and I'm trying to give that impression in what I post.
Um.......yeah the southern flank is almost ready for combat but you're correct about the center and the north. I'm almost proud of
what's happening in the south but in the c. and n. I'm scrambling still. I have roadblocks at the major river crossings and I have people
headed to where I'm building a front line but they aren't there yet and I'm not nearly ready for combat there. I've got a sort of grouping
of units, not to call it a front line yet, building into a line west of Smolensk and I'm getting Leningrad ready for action and in the Center
I've got only river crossing roadblocks so far.

Um.....his main effort......usually you can tell where the Axis main effort is going by finding the Panzers and tracking where they go and I
haven't yet gotten a good look at where they all are. My theater recon isn't particularly good and most of his stuff is invisible to me so
far. In WITE you can fly what amount to recon missions and take a look around in various areas but no such mission is available to
me here.

I'm pretty happy with happenings so far. I've just gotten some moves from Jim so until I get some more moves from John I guess I'll go
fight the WITP-AE war.

Status: offline 		John has exploded across the Dvina River and is expanding his bridgehead. No borders is turned on else I would be able to gauge how
far he has expanded already. I have depicted his toehold w/ a red circle and I have reason to believe he hasn't exceeded that range yet.
I may be in serious trouble because I don't have nearly enough units handy to contain his invaders and I'm afraid the character of the
game has changed. It's no longer a race to the river, as he's already across it. Now I'm having to change my plans and re-think what I'm
to do. I guess I'll build a front line along the next river in his path and see if I can't delay him enough to get some more units into the AO.

I'm not sure where his main effort is going but I expect him to drive for Leningrad at the very least. The main line of resistance is forming
up to the west of Smolensk and is almost ready now. I'll post a picture to show you.

Status: offline 		Here's the Minsk area now. I have no idea where his units are in that blank area in the middle. I have reason to believe he has units in
that blank area because I see a recon element near Minsk. I'm ready as I'm ever going to be for an assault on the city but I know it's just
a matter of time before Minsk falls. Minsk is worth 5% of my production so I want to hand onto it as long as I can and so I've put some
major roadblocks there.

Status: offline 		John has reached and has started his pre-attack positioning on my Stalin Line. This is the north half of the Stalin Line and again due to
the no borders being turned on I have no idea how close the rest of his units are yet. I have reason to believe they are close to the rest
of the Stalin Line. I have no expectation that my Stalin Line will slow John down all that much and it's really a matter of time until he blows
through it.

Status: offline 		This is the south half of the Stalin Line and as you can see John has already begun thrusting Romanian units across the river to get
behind my units and force them to defend in a new direction. I don't have any spare units handy to form another line along the river so
I'm guessing John will be across the river in force next turn. D'oh. I'm in serious trouble already.

Status: offline 		I didn't think my IL-4's could reach Berlin but lo and behold I busted a bridge near there. My idea is to bust all the bridges to the east of
Berlin so as to force John to dispatch some engineers to fix them and maybe force him to station some fighters in Berlin. Another
thought was to bomb the Ploesti refineries when I get into a position to do so.

Status: offline 		I moved all the planes to the Moscow area to rest and refit so as to be able to hold their own in the skies better. My IL-4's are recovered
enough to start using them but the fighters are still wimpy and I don't plan to deploy them to the field until another turn or two has passed.
I'm planning on using my planes all in the Smolensk area to concentrate their strength together but John isn't there yet so there's a turn
or two to play with yet. I hesitate to deploy my planes within range of his because they are so badly outnumbered right now. I'm getting
those squadrons that were decimated earlier but I still don't have parity yet.

Status: offline 		Here's a couple of proposed targets Ploesti and Bucharest. I guess I was thinking of WITE where you can bomb the city industry. I guess
in TOAW I'll have to settle for busting the bridges leading out of there. I can reach these targets from Odessa and I'm thinking of flying
the IL-4's down there to see what they can do. But I have to do it before I get forced out of Odessa. Actually, the IL-4's can reach these
targets from about 171 hexes away so there's no hurry I guess.

already landing units via the sea to the north of Riga and thereby bypassing all my defenders to the south. D'oh. I'm in seriious trouble.
I'm going to have to try to build some front lines near Pskov and hope for the best.

hold and maybe force the south end of my Stalin Line to displace to the east. I don't have any units handy yet to block him properly so
I'm guessing I'll be displacing soon.

Status: offline 		This is a Soviet perspective of the area north of Riga where the Axis units have been landing. John has used his paratroopers brilliantly
this turn by making some strategic drops to grab airfields and block my units from any utility in the near future. It's moves like this that are
going to win the game for him.

EDIT: No borders is turned on so we see no depiction of the front lines but I have reason to believe John landed some assets in Virtsu
as well. Although I don't know why it wouldn't show them to me if they were there.
