Map of the entire Eastern front.
South from Stalingrad, our and German forces have invented new form of entertainment. Turn by turn flipping hexes between our armies.

An essential to proper WITE front line maintenance.

Mud in Northern zone enforced break in Axis operation.

10.9.1942 - 16.9.1942

Clear weather and surprisingly again no actions. Either Axis summer campaign is over or something bigger is being prepared.

I don't think he can possibly win through sudden death anymore.

As can be seen from turn 63 screenshot, he has mobile forces near Tula, Lipetsk, Stalingrad and in the Caucasus. But no concentration has been revealed.
Also south of Boguchar a Hungarian armor division is discovered. According to the GRU analysis this does not represent any threat to us.

Only minor action near Voronezh.
Germans have attacked across Don between Voronezh and Lipetsk. Soviet counter attack pushed all Germans back without any problems.

Germans have repeated theirs attack from last week and secured small bridgehead across the Don near Lipetsk.

The major attack came from Boguchar. Panzers have crossed Don in force and encircled 2 armies. This time I decided to stay and fight. Pocket has been opened and 3 Tank armies + 1 Cavalry army are in the area. Another 2 Cavalry armies and 1 Tank army will arrive next week.
Airbase loaded with transport planes is moved to the area as well. If needed, I will try to resupply any potential pocket.

Is your line a little thin to the North? Difficult to know without the CVs visible. The second line behind Voronezh looks like it should be wheeled in behind it.

Status: offline 		The northern line is barely more than just a screen. The front line is pretty long and my forces are spread thin. There is not much I can throw at him at this point except my mobile reserves.
With the incoming mud season it looks to me like Brian is gambling here. We are playing with random weather and he is maybe relying on some good weather.

Status: offline 		also. it must be tempting to hand out some last damage before the weather turns. Even if he gets a couple of armies and dislocates the front that may give him some headroom to limit any offensive you can make in the early winter?

T 68 Pocket & counter pocket - 10/7/2014 7:40:46 AM

As expected Germans have sealed the pocket and enlarged it little bit. Luckily my lines around Lipetsk have held. My counter attack resulted in cutting off the entire Axis spearhead. Around 20 divisions. However the ring is pretty weak and probably will not hold. Fuel has been flown to the most exposed tank units and more Soviet reinforcements have appeared in the theater.

I've no idea who's winning this battle though, it could decide the game. I should think he's pretty nervous at this point with the mud coming.

Fighting in the Voronezh - Boguchar bulge continues. Germans again tried to close the pocket and failed. I started to reduce the bridgehead. I did a lot of counterattacks and pushed or routed many German divisions. For the first time there will be favorable exchange for me. Two expendable Rifle divisions for the 5th Panzer division.

Mud. Brian is trying hard to trap at least some units. Another 3 rifle divisions doomed but I should be able to evacuate the main pocket.

Mud. Brian managed to make one hex gain and corridor from the pocket is now only one hex wide.

Status: offline 		Good fights.

Hes got about a 360,000 OOB manpower buffer so he can stay aggressive as
I would during the winter months in this case.

If he is able to hold the winter lines and keep the rivers until spring your areas
to conduct and offensive during 43 will be limited or so far from Berlin not to matter.

Game should be a draw unless he really screws up, which we all have seen allot of people do even highly skilled GHC players.

3.8 million and the distance to Berlin is a very tall order for SHC at this stage.
