Status: offline 		A shock for Heeresgruppe Süd. Guderian was inspecting troops in the frontlines when suddenly the Soviets attacked the positions. He was badly wounded and is currently recovering in a hospital at Munich. His command however, was not as lucky. Even with large numbers of aircraft supporting in snow, the Panzer were destroyed in an all out attack (offensive chit used by the Soviets) led by Zhukov...

Status: offline 		Interesting use of a Soviet O-chit. It doesn't get 15 BP worth of stuff, but now the Germans are missing Guderian for the rest of '42, which might a difference. On the other hand, the Russians won't be able to use the O-chit later.

Status: offline 		It did get 17 BP, due to the fact that the MECH and the disorganised Italian FTR were present in the hex too. But it was truly interesting to see it's effects in this attack in snow.

Status: offline 		A stalemate has occurred for this turn (M/A 1942). Not a lot did happen, due to bad weather continuing. After storms, there came blizzards in the Arctic and Northern Temperate and snow in the Med. Storms and rain were raging in the Far East. The Axis 3rd. impulse this turn is impulse number 11. The weather has changed to rain in the Arctic and the North Temperate zone. No "Panzerwetter" at all, I'm afraid. And Germany needed at least one good weather turn in the North Temperate (and the chance of getting that was 50% for this impulse...)

A lot of attemps to fight naval combats were taken in the Pacific and SUB's sailed into the Atlantic, but apart from some convoy points losses and the loss of a US CVP, not a lot has happened.

In the Med, US and British TRS loaded with troops sailed into the Western Med. The Italian fleet sorties, but didn't get lucky with the search rolls. All Italian BB's are currently in the repair pool. The Italian fleet now consists of 2 heavy cruisers...

As said, it's a stalemate, so no pictures...

On Netplay, we have had a lot of problems with naval interceptions and are still experiencing problems with Port Attacks. It looks like that one bug gets fixed and another one pops up due to that fix. It's really slow going at the moment (and sometimes a little frustrating also). The life of a beta tester isn't always fun and games, I'm afraid...

Status: offline 		Heeresgruppe Nord. The OKH and OKW are not satisfied by how things are going here. The Soviets had a lot of bad weather making it possible for them to reinforce the frontlines in force. One would expect the Euroaxis to get one or two fine impulses from S/O to M/A. They got none. And coupled with the bad results in combat during the summer of 1941, things are not good looking at all...

Status: offline 		Heeresgruppe Süd:

von Manstein would have loved one good weather impulse to crack the defense line at Rostov... But it was storms, blizzard, snow and rain the whole time. Perhaps the summer of 1942 can make things a little better for the Euroaxis. But prudence is the key, because the Soviets will only get stronger and stronger from now on...

Status: offline 		After the next couple of impulses. This is the situation in Italy. The US burned an offensive and with only a few land units on the map, the invasion of Italy occurred. Things are bad, very bad for the Italians, since a calculation by me concluded that I cannot counter the garrison value in Italy at all this turn, if the Allies move every unit they can into Italy. I've been caught with my pants down. I'm terribly rusty and a fool...

Status: offline 		Von Manstein is under orders to take Rostov at all costs. An offensive gets burned and the defenders of the city are destroyed. However, the die roll was poor on this attack (+12), causing the loss of a division...

A second attack by von Manstein ended with another poor die roll. At +11, the defenders got shattered and the attacking army partly disorganized. Sure, the loss of a Soviet FTR is good, but I rather would have killed the enemy forces. The story of not killing units in Russia continues...

In Russia, no attacks this turn. Due to the Allies attack in Italy, the Axis are withdrawing a couple of units to get a frontline in Italy and make sure to be able to keep in supply...

Status: offline 		Why is the Wehrmacht unable to roll more than a 10 on the 2D10 table in Russia on land attacks? The Luftwaffe rolls 15 and more a lot, but on land attacks, the rolls are poor again. Again, whole army groups are flipped on +10 or more attacks and Soviet units are all but destroyed...
