Fierce battles to deny access to east prussia! Heavy cost for successfull attacks and very heavy cost for failed attacks!



successfull counterattacks against advanced russian units west of Zhitomir



Not one step back anymore! My line is looking rather strong



The losses



And the global status of my arme

We do our best effort to delay russian advance in the northern part of the front. Almost all reinforcements received were sent here.



IIn Ukraine, russian hordes are at contact with my major line of resistance

1945 is really a different year. I thought my line would have held... what a mistake! Fortunatelly, the weather was snow and tank corps didn't have enough MP's t fully exploit the breakthrough



I do my best to restore the line but we pay such a high price for couterattacks!



In the north, the line holds. Both side losses are above 100k men.

German OOB is looking better than it should. It's due to the significant amount of units received as reinforcement. Without them, it would be 200k men and 2k AFV lower

the way the game is counting AFV changed some patches ago. The number should be divided per 2 or 3.

Pzd supermen?

note that the losses is recent fights are far higher

Heavy fights in Ukraine, we definitively cannot hold the ground, no rest north of Pripyat. No comment about the losses. Most of TOEs are now below 50. I'm short of more than 900k men to fill the OOB.

Pzd are "supermen" but I lost 500 AFV and medium tank TOE is around 50. I get 90 Panther/PzIV per week, it's not enough to equilibrate the losses.

Mud will be more than welcome... and then?

Always heavy fights north of Pripyat, I can only delay russian advance



In Ukraine, Stelteck moved the bulk of his tank corps north. My lines are badly hurt, hungarian units cannot resist such a treatment. Fortunatly Rendulic and XVIIth corps did the job.



I decide to give some ground and to reinforce this area



The losses, unsustainable...



And the OOB

Stubborn resistance in the north



Counterattacking russian Advanced units in Ukraine. Nothing to do when rifle corps are at contact...

Mud, it's mud

It's been an active winter season. There no way to stop russian advance. You can only delay it.

Fortunatly I destroyed several tank corps in november and received lots of units in february.

Now it's time to refit before the last summer. It will be a new experience...

PS:I'm still holding Leningrad!

Mud is over. We try to determine the future axes of attacks. Concentration of russian mobile units let me almost no doubt. Main attacks should occur:
- in northern Ukraine
- between Kaunas an Brest Litovsk



I give some ground but don't change my units disposal. With 50 Mps tank corps can cover a wide operational area . 3 Pzk are set on refit to react as soon as main effort ruusian axe is identied.

It's bitter end. It should end turn 225... so we have done 90% of the travel even if I'm currently back to my departure line

Russian tank corps are ready to attack west of Rowno... I'm worried, stacks with a defensive CV lower than 50 have no chance to resist.

No pasaran! 3 Pzk are sent in northern Ukraine. I now have 5 full Pzk in this area.

I cannot do much more. As strategic reserve it remains 2 Pzd and some useless inf units

Soviet steamroll is on...

Axis defences are rather strong around the Niemen and deny the direct access to East Prussia. Soviet main effort is headind South west.

Only Pzd can now stop russian advance but they can't be everywhere. Note the final odd of the 3 infs stack in light woods... desesperating.



In Ukraine Russian main effort is heading north west. Once the 2 russian groups will gather I be in front of a "tank corps ball" in open ground. so it's important to use marshes and woods as it's still possible.

I don't have much ground to trade anymore... I thought about giving up Romania but changed my mind. I will try to keep them on the "right side" as long as possible.
