Open lower Volga area.

Do I attempt baku cut off or head tanks north to threaten Stalingrad supply form the East or surround the Italians.

Status: offline 		3rd attack with main attack force. Close but finally a win.

Since all his reserves are down south I should be able to attack more here and try and flank Moscow from the south.

Until mud halts all.

Status: offline 		Stalingrad rescue attempt. I push Guard tank corp deep hoping for hope.

Problem is my cut off units attack and lose a close battle for supply relief. Again defeated by a minor cav brigade.

I could use a break.

Status: offline 		another loss.

Somehow in retrospect I should have just attacked the 2 north spearhead positions. That should have relieved the trapped units.

Turn is now at this position. I am attempting to figure out what to do.

With these attack moves I can't retreat.
And his tanks east of Volga will be able to advance north easily (on the east side of river) next turn.

Only 2 more turns in clear.

Hopefully turn will be done by tonight.

you are now up to date!

Status: offline 		unfortunately that huge German retreat loss was probably 90% losses from the routed hungarian tank division most likely. Now that unit is probably useless after losses most its men and tanks but doubt it was tons of Germans in those losses.

I think things are going to be pretty bad even once snow hits....as with Stalingrad falling you have nothing to anchor your southern flank left at all and there is no reason for the Germans to push into the open steppes....so most likey he will re-deploy, screen the useless steppes in the South, and concentrate all his forces towards taking the last city or two he needs....and at the rate you are bleeding additional forces your only getting weaker each turn I bet.

The AP change giving free ants for you to continuously be annoying to the Germans with raids is the only reason this game is still going.

Status: offline 		2 more clear turns till MUD.

I contemplated sending in another sacrificial tank corp.
I could reach the hex just east of the Hungarian routed tank.
It would raise mp but ultimately be another lost corp.

Really I am in in very bad shape here.

He may even attempt a major surround. Seeing how things are going it might end up an easy job.

One good nuk!

The hex I attacked day before around here is now too firmly held with 3 divisions.

Thus I make attempt to dislodge german bridgehead on east side of river. I had not attacked this hex for over 6 turns.

Used my guard corps which are in area after many soak off attacks.

Here was the good attack lineup oob
