Brian formed pocket north of Novorossiysk. I have been able to break it but the units are doomed anyway. Retreat in the south continues.

On the first turn of breakthrough the wedge looked thin at it's base. You had some mobile units close. Maybe you could cut the supply lines?

Brian moved his attention towards Moscow. Small pocket has been formed but the mighty Red Army was able to break it. In this process 3 German divisions were routed.

Naive question: what could he do there anyway? Units that cross the swampy Volga area would be way out of supply, wouldn't they? Or is there really a backdoor threat to Stalingrad itself?

It's interesting to see a serious Case Blue type of 1942 offensive.

Probably not an easy task but could be achieved. If I recall, I saw at least one AAR where Volga has been crossed south of Stalingrad.

Status: offline 		you did it right while retreating in the South.. His mobile units will be out of supply if attacking immediatly and you will have time to entrench.

On my opinion, his target will be Stalingrad, not Baku

Status: offline 		The game looks to be nicely balanced. I think you've done the right thing to back off to preserve your army. Your decision to abandon the Tsymla river may even be too cautious.
It'll be interesting to see what he does with his gains South of Rostov/Stalingrad. Abandon them at some point would be my guess.

Brian continued with his effort from previous turn and succeed. My attempt to open the pocket failed. Another 12 divisions doomed, especially the 4CV guards hurt.

Ok 2 turn pocket which is about right for 42.

Good game over-all

After clearing the pocket, German Panzers were shifted to Orel. First belt of fortifications between Orel and Tula was contested. Panzers did a breakthrough and I am again on retreat.

Brian is very cautious and usually never leaves any unit exposed. My options for counter attacks are very limited.
