In the center the Soviet position grows stronger again. They sensibly retreat to the riverline.

The supply situation hasn't gotten better. The railroad battlions did not repair the damaged railline, but it is done this week by the FDB.

Due to lack of fuel nothing is accomplished this week. Only one Panzer corps has good MP and it is decided to keep it in reserve. The infantry manages to capture another Moscow suburb and a bridgehead over the river is established.

Further south 4th Army destroys the pocketed divisions and slowly advances.

The situation is easily resolved and the advance continues with a small pocket formed.

The supply difficulties the Germans are experiencing in the center are the only things keeping me going in this game. I thought I was done for on turn 9 or so.

I think the supply dificulties made the game more realistic, although it would be better to achieve that without questionable partisan attacks.

Turn 14 North

In the North the Soviets launched an ambitious cavalry counterattack, which threatened to cut off most of Army Group North. Luckily, that worked only almost.

The situation can be resolved using the last reserves. The SS is called back south of the Neva in order to acquire a mobile reserve. Last weeks pocket is fully closed.

Turn 14 Center

The Soviets are able to push 1st Panzer Division back across the river, although they take heavy casualties doing so.

The rivercrossing is taken back and two Infantrie divisions cross it for good. Otherwise because of only a handful of divisions having enough fuel nothing much is accomplished.

Turn 14 South

In the South the small pocket from last week holds. It is decided to pocket the Soviet forces between the two mobile forces.

Wow. Very bold attack at Leningrad. One thing i learned the hard way is to avoid gaps in the front line. soviet have a lot of these cheap 4k men cavalry units with 22 MP to throw in and run amok in the hinterland.

That is true and doctorking used them always to good effect, even though he spent most of them before the winter. The regiment guarding against this was sitting in the swamp hex, so I thought he would not have the power to move it.

The pocket holds and the Soviets thankfully retreat from the Valdais.

The pocket is cleared and Army Group North advances without doing anything particularly noteworthy.

Turn 15 Center

For Army Group Center supply is good for the first time in 3 weeks. Alas, Moscow is now defended strongly. With the end of the Summer Campaign approaching fast and next week supposedly being mud, von Bock decides against a direct assault of Moscow. Instead Kaluga is to be secured to get to a better assault position in the winter.

It does not work quite as well as hoped, as the pocket can not be fully closed.

Turn 15 South

in the South it is decided to cut Kharkov, which still has much industry present (15 Arm and Su-2), off from the railway. Although the units protecting the southern approaches to Kursk are to be pocketed.

This also does not work quite as well as planned, but will set the stage for the combat of the next few weeks.

West of Stalino the pocket holds and the next Soviet defense line seems to be around the three cities.

The pocket is mostly cleared and the mobile divisions advance as much as possible.
