I don't have any experience with sending units back to Germany during the blizzard so I'm a little hazy on the benefits.  I would be curious to see the Commander's Report for your panzer and mobile divisions if you would be willing to do so.



sillyflower -> RE: sveint (Axis) vs Hermann (Sov) - Axis PoV (8/14/2011 1:26:05 PM)

benefits are
1 no attrition or morale loss
2 they actually refit
3 their high CVs gives hope for things to come

Turn 43, 4/9/1942, Mud

Generals von Leeb and von Schwedler both KIA. Not much else happening. Hungary decides to send large reinforcements now that our rail lines are already jammed.

Spring is here, and we somewhat cautiously begin an offensive.

The Soviets counter-attack in a few locations, most notably taking two hexes near Leningrad.

We push forward but cannot exploit too much with the unstable weather.

Trying to make a pocket.

Well I wanted a pocket and I got it! Here's what I saw when I opened my turn.

End of turn. All but one tank corps is routed.

Turn 54, 6/25/1942

Still trying to make a pocket. No offensives anywhere else.

Looks like the pocket is finally made.

sveint -> RE: sveint (Axis) vs Hermann (Sov) - Axis PoV (8/23/2011 2:02:45 AM)

Turn 56

Successful defense against the shock armies in the north is good news.

sveint -> RE: sveint (Axis) vs Hermann (Sov) - Axis PoV (8/23/2011 2:03:40 AM)

But if the Soviets really want a hex nothing can stop them.

sveint -> RE: sveint (Axis) vs Hermann (Sov) - Axis PoV (8/23/2011 4:04:48 AM)

Winding down the offensive in the south, for now. Further offensives here would just stretch out lines.

sveint -> RE: sveint (Axis) vs Hermann (Sov) - Axis PoV (8/23/2011 4:08:05 AM)

And exploring the possibilities of an offensive near Moscow. No major rivers to cross and no "stretching" the lines. Objective is not Moscow but rather to surround and destroy as many units as possible. Secondary objective is to gain and hold ground.

The Soviets think we are heading for Stalingrad.

sveint -> RE: sveint (Axis) vs Hermann (Sov) - Axis PoV (8/23/2011 7:47:40 AM)

But we are not.

Turn 58, 7/23/1942

Defenses are surprisingly light once we get past the fortifications.

Aussiematto -> RE: sveint (Axis) vs Hermann (Sov) - Axis PoV (8/24/2011 10:44:42 AM)

Nice work. Demonstrates that one challenge for the Axis player in '42 is to misdirect the Sovs attention. My failed campaign against Captain Flam saw me mass every single Pz unit in an almighty southern push. While I tried to keep him guessing about exactly what they were up to, in fact it made it too easy for him to defend. OTOH, I've also been struck down by excessive separation... I think you've got it just about right.



sveint -> RE: sveint (Axis) vs Hermann (Sov) - Axis PoV (8/30/2011 6:41:46 AM)

Turn 59, 7/30/1942

Offensive continues, but unless we can create some sort of pocket the casualty ratio is not good enough.
