Rough terrain makes it a challenge to take.

fort drops below 5X

I would start to get worried about the German losses. The overall numbers of losses of each side does not tell you how the air war is going. The key number the Germans need to look at is how many single-engine fighters you are losing. Last turn you lost over a hundred of them, and I am guessing you lost over 200 German single engine fighters this turn. Keep going with that and the German air force will be in crisis in a few turns. By contrast if you lost a 200 recon or 200 level bombers you could say that is par for the course. Once you have no effective fighter arm anymore how many bombers or any other type of aircraft you have will be irrelevant.

Both the last two air losses screens I would call big Soviet wins.

Bitburg has just started working on air base attacks. Plus I am being a little more active in attacking some of his. especially down south.

I have good number in pool.

I will watch.

Seeing a weak counter, I launch major encirclement operation on the north side of the Don.

Here is my attack to make a clear 3 wide crossing of the Don

You can see mid turn my breakthru tanks.

Russian cav and armor is way in the rear leaving middle wide open to roam.

The pocket looks secure.

My thinking, in not splitting the forward armor, was that Russians really need to retreat after this new pocket.

The pocket has no high value targets.

Only the Euro zone remains clear.

2 more brutal frontal assaults are heaped upon Sebastopol.

2 more Russian wins. If these mountain units survive I think they will be guards soon.

panzer, ss mech and regular mech.

Very dangerous move for him. as well unexpected and not what I had hopped for. ( I was looking for a nice tidy retreat)

And now also a weekly cliff hanger for the cut off Germans.

I feed in supply to trapped units which look ok as to supply having been well rested prior to the breakthru turn.

My rr to Boguthar is blocked by Russian zoc or not complete via the south to north route.

The rest of Russia and Europe will again be in mud.

If clear, my south soviet offensive, anchored near Rostov, will begin.

Can any of those trapped unit be destroyed before you get a chance to launch a relieve operation and is there an operation being planned? Your supply in the north should be pretty bad considering the river crossing and all those ZOCs+mud.

nice to have a little suspense.

Early reports come in of massive desperate attacks on the German trapped units (mud).at the back end of turn 52.
And now confirmed: blues skis, solid ground in south soviet zone for turn 53.

How were the losses? That basically means you can extract those units on turn 53. Would be interesting to see their TOE and morale after being isolated for 2 turns, especially of the Panzer Division.

Status: offline 		ya that aggressive soviet move could just be feeding some of those tank/cav corps into additional pockets depending on how things work out...and panzer divs even pockets in mud are hard to break without infantry corps or massive amount of soviet infantry divs/units to get the unseen quality of quantity bonus on the attack lol.

Russians launch heavy attacks against 2 of the 3 surrounded German armor/mech divisions

The 4th panzer divisions hold. 4:1 odds.

The attack was preceded by 2 successful Russian bomber attacks.

The ss mech is just bombed.

2 ground attacks were launched.

I bring in tank reinforcements for next turn relief.

And in air supply, I do one very large drop. I think the most tons I ever dropped on one hex. approx. 250 tons. For me it was noticeable and 4th panzer became fully supplied: perfect to fight off more mud attacks.
