Turn 9 returned with the usual alacrity.
In AGN, Soviets have fallen back to the Luga/Novgorod axis. Generally well dug in, behind level 2 and 3 forts in the north. The lines run on down to VL and AGC. As my "Get there firstest with the mostest" strategy has failed spectaculary, I will now attempt to switch to "Hit 'em where they ain't." Not sure how that will work, as Soviets are everywhere, haha. Hopefully though this will loosen up AGN a bit, and provide a return to maneuver warfare, which has been missing since turns 2/3.
Pardon my mixing (butchering) Civil war quotes with dead ball baseball quotes. I find that sports and war analogies work well together, at times.[:)] =P
AGC:
Soviets remain heavily committed at the tail end of the land bridge around Smolensk. South of there Soviets have fallen behind the Pronya, Sozh and Besed rivers, in the top half of AGC. He is finally off the Dnepr, at least. Ongoing strategy for the next few turns will resemble AGN's,
Around Gomel I intend to finish sealing the pocket off, and consolidating the link-up with First Panzer. Rescuing the motorized unit in Kiev is also on the menu.
AGS:
As noted above, will finish off the linkup with Second Panzer and associated smallish pocket. The hold at Zhitomir that I noted above hurt badly, as Soviets emptied out Zhit, and is now behind the Irpen/Ros/Sinyukha line. If that attack had been successful, I could have sealed that up.. I probably wouldn't have somewhat linked up with Second Panzer in that case, though. So there are plusses and minuses. But that's a net minus, as Zhitomir was a nice consolidation of Soviet troops. I will have to settle for the Prip Marshes pocket, and Kiev, I guess.[:)]
11th Army remains in contact generally, on the Bug.
These are general impressions at start of Turn 9.
