Terje: Just wondering to what extent you've been using units in reserve mode defensively, and what effect you might feel it's having?

Sappers will buzzsaw through mandmade forts so long as the Soviet player assigns them to the corps or HQ. Which is something I am not too big a fan of. A level 4 fort should not be easily reduced, atleast not when the attacker recieve a 1:10 result. But oh well, I will take any CV modifier I can at this point. A delay of one turn is a turn more alive for virtual Adolf [:)]. Terje

As long as possible I kept the panzers and mechanized divisions in reserve mode behind the front, and it certainly annoyed Oloren as he got alot more held results than he would have done otherwise. The question however is wether or not it would have been better to place those units on the line in some spots as they would have given a good boost to the defensive value in the hex. But then again, using the panzers on the line would have bled my AFV pools even dryer. Erm wait, that is hardly possible I guess, but you get my point [;)] Terje

Turn 150 Overall As expected the southern pocket closes, and there is no way for us to open it, now it is a matter of not having more units trapped. the 35 USSR attacks resulted in 9 helds, 34 retreats and 2 routs. Losses USSR : 72.000 troops, 567 guns, 369 AFVs, 349 AC. Axis : 59.000 troops, 1.210 guns, 85 AFVs, 1 AC, Units disbanded The 56th Infantry Division is disbanded this turn. Soon we will start disbanding some HQs as well. Units merged A total of 12 infantry divisions were merged into other divisions. German pools Manpower : 18.697 Vehicles : 276.480 Armaments : 0 Hiwi : 85 Greatest "lack of" At the moment the thing we lack the most is scout vehicles, we only have a production rate of 2 (Berlin), and the average ammount in our panzer divisions is something like 5%...

Turn 151 aka the spending of points Overall As I feared, some more divisions are trapped in the south, once more there is nothing to do about that. Instead we focus on reorganizing and disbanding...ALOT... The USSR launch 37 attacks, scoring 8 helds, 27 retreats and 2 routs. Main problem in the near future now, is that mud is almost gone (clear weather in Germany), so it is only a matter of time before the frontline collapses completely. That WILL get nasty... Losses USSR : 67.000 troops, 474 guns, 318 AFVs, 347 AC. Axis : 41.000 troops, 1.023 guns, 46 AFVs, 1 AC. Units disbanded/merged ALOT (see below) German pools Manpower : 81.582 (again, see below) Vehicles : 283.480 Armaments : 0 Hiwi : 3.126 Sad notes Two of the more potent units (a panzer and a parchute division) are about to head west Edit As can be seen, I have some "spare" HQs in the rear. Those are being saved for the time being for those units that from now on manages to reach the "safety" of the Oder-Line. [image]local://upfiles/11504/B481A88BB344486592E7DF632BBE3705.jpg[/image]

Turn 152 aka Stupid Virtual Adolf!! Overall To my surprise, and to Oloren's disappointment, the southernmost pocket hold against the attacks made on them. To my disbelief, Virtual Adolf has decided that Rommel should get my two SS Panzer Divisions, or two of the three most valuable units on the eastern front. All this because the Western Allies will invade NORMANDIE in about one months time according to Abwehr. Right. Normandie. Must defend Normandie at this point [8\|]. Oh well, enough of my rants. The USSR launch 29 attacks this turn, scoring 9 helds, 18 retreats and 2 surrenders. We pull back somewhat on the frontline, trying to get as many units back as possible, but more will be lost in the next few turns, I am nevertheless somewhat happy about what I do have at the Oder-Line, so losing the beaten up frontline units is not that big a concern right now. Oder-Line In the south we might still make those forts into level 4, not so in the east I fear as the enemy is now VERY close. Losses USSR : 60.000 troops, 425 guns, 317 AFVs, 302 AC. Axis : 78.000 troops, 1.291 guns, 69 AFVs, 1 AC. Units lost The 52nd, 111th, 252nd, 282nd, 389th Infantry Division and the 100th Jaeger Division all surrender this turn. Units disbanded/merged The 52nd, 111th, 252nd, 282nd, 389th Infantry Division and the 100th Jaeger Division is disbanded right after they reform. One of our Panzer Grenadier Divisions (forgot to look at which one) is merged into another Panzer Grenadier Division this turn. Better to have one decent division than two weak ones. Points spent We formed an "Army Berlin" and reassigned some units arriving from the front to it, and moved some SUs arround. Now at 0 points available.

Turn 153 aka bye bye frontline Overall It does not rain, it pours the saying goes. The Southern pocket succombs this turn, and the USSR drive deep and will likely cut off alot more divisions in the south. We are now preparing for the final stand, rumors has it that Virtual Adolf has sent for Cyanide capsules...That does not promise well... The USSR make a total of 30 attacks, scoring 3 helds, 22 retreats, 1 shatter and 4 surrender. Losses USSR : 69.000 troops, 682 guns, 365 AFVs, 393 AC. Axis : 149.000 troops, 1.777 guns, 466 AFVs , 9 AC. 3 panzer divisions were lost in the south... Units lost A total of 13 divisions were lost in the south this turn. Units disbanded/merged 9 fortified zones, 23 infantry divisions, 1 SEC division, 1 Mountain division, 1 Panzer Division, 1 Army HQ (9th), 9 Corps HQs.

Turn 154 aka Quiet before the storm Overall Although the USSR does not launch alot of attacks, they drive deep in the south, and 6 divisions are allready trapped, and 13 more is estimated to be trapped next turn. Only 6 USSR attacks this turn, scoring 3 helds and 3 retreats. Losses USSR : 48.000 troops, 235 guns, 194 AFVs, 308 AC. Axis : 11.000 troops, 229 guns, 33 AFVs, 4 AC. Units merged 2 Infantry divisions were merged into other infantry divisions this turn. Units disbanded 6 SEC divisions. The 7th refuses to disband. Darned unit! German pools Manpower : 96.902 Vehicles : 297.726 Armaments : 0 Hiwi : 87 Granted, we do not have rifles for our troops, but we will give them a truck each to make sure they get to their destinations in a fashionable manner [:D] Oder-Line More and more hexes are now at level 4 fort, the line behind the front is at level 3 all along, but atm I do not have the points needed to build fortified zones there so we can build them to level 4.

terje439 -> RE: Gnikam eht ni retsasid - Oloren USSR, Terje Axis, No Oloren (8/8/2012 12:20:51 PM)
Turn 155 Overall The USSR does not make alot of atttack, and none on the Oder-Line. They do however pus hthe Fins back, and reports from Helsinki states that the Finnish resistance will be over shortly as there is no new line to fall back to for them. They do however push back a USSR division, but I think that was pretty much a "Pickett's Charge" for the Fins. 6 USSR attacks results in 1 held, 2 retreats (Finland) and 3 surrenders (surrounded units in the south). Losses USSR : 58.000 troops, 491 guns, 304 AFVs, 409 AC. Axis : 100.000 troops, 1.028 guns, 63 AFVs, 9 AC. Units lost 8 Infantry divisions and motorized brigade. Units disbanded/Merged 1 Cavalry HQ, 10 Infantry Divisions, Wallonian SS Motorized Brigade, 1 Cavalry Brigade, 1 LuftWaffe Field Division, 1 SEC Division, 9 fortified zones (no longer needed as the fort level is at 4 in those hexes). Units built 2 Fortified zones are built in two hexes west of the Oder-Line to get the fort levels there too up to 4.

terje439 -> RE: Gnikam eht ni retsasid - Oloren USSR, Terje Axis, No Oloren (8/9/2012 2:28:40 PM)
Turn 156 Overall The USSR once more push the Fins back, before they finish off the isolated units in the south. The USSR makes a total of 13 attacks, scoring them 4 helds, 4 retreats and 5 surrenders. Losses USSR : 78.000 troops, 755 guns, 336 AFVs, 399 AC. Axis : 86.000 troops, 1.610 guns, 68 AFVs, 7 AC. Units lost 6 Infantry Divisions, 1 SEC Division Units disbanded 6 Infantry Divisions, 1 SEC Division, 1 Panzer Division, 1 Panzer Corps HQ, 2 Fortified zones Units built 10 fortified zones.

terje439 -> RE: Gnikam eht ni retsasid - Oloren USSR, Terje Axis, No Oloren (8/10/2012 1:21:25 PM)
Turn 157 Overall No attacks. Oloren has informed us that he will probably need about 1 month to be able to mount a chanceable attack on our line. We will take that month with gratitude. Only 14 more to go after that! (see below [:D]) Losses USSR : 54.000 troops, 293 guns, 209 AFVs, 298 AC. Axis : 13.000 troops, 221 guns, 31 AFVs, 7 AC. Units disbanded 4 fortified zones, 1 Panzer Corps HQ (mandatory), 1 Infantry Division, 1 SS Cavalry Division Units created 11 fortified zones German pools Manpower : 97.520 Vehicles : 310.551 Armaments : 61.417...................................Nah.

terje439 -> RE: Gnikam eht ni retsasid - Oloren USSR, Terje Axis, No Oloren (8/11/2012 11:55:27 AM)
Turn 158 Overall Well the USSR has started their bid for Berlin. The line held against the 3 attacks made, but one of the attacks reduced the fort level. Not good. But then again, far better than the Finnish situation, where the USSR made 7 attacks, scoring 4 helds, 2 retreats and 1 surrender (did not have enough points last turn to disband a Finnish fortified zone). Losses USSR : 97.000 troops, 1.359 guns, 407 AFVs, 540 AC. Axis : 19.000 troops, 308 guns, 62 AFVs, 20 AC (16 recons).

realy deepest respect for you that you are still in the game. this picture above remembers me of the fort scene of starship troopers where a few marines are surrounded by a million bugs or so.[;)] you still have a X defensive CV in the hex so he may need additional 2-3 turns to knock this hex down. by then maybe the hex NW of the attacked one will reach level 4.

Turn 159 Overall Nothing major, a small retreat in Finland, the USSR finally take Salzburg, and the allready reduced fort is reduced once more down to 2. Last turn we sent some more planes to our airfields, and due to this, the number of flown missions increase, with the following increase in aerial losses. 9 USSR attacks result in 7 helds, all on the Oder-Line, 1 retreat in Finland and 1 surrender at Salzburg. Losses USSR : 102.000 troops, 1.552 guns, 481 AFVs, 694 AC. Axis : 34.000 troops, 489 guns, 119 AFVs, 73 AC. Units disbanded 5 fortified zones. These are at the line BEHIND the Oder-Line, where fort levels are now at 4 in some (5 :P) places. Units built 3 fortified zones.

Turn 160 Overall Although the numbers looked good on paper, the result of the single retreat the USSR caused was...hmm was going for disatrous, but it really was not. It just made my turn take even shorter to process [:D] (see below). 18 USSR attacks result in 1 retreat and 17 helds. The corner of the Oder-Line is now at 0 fort level, so we will be pushed back from that hex next turn. Losses USSR : 137.000 troops, 2.449 guns, 683 AFVs, 963 AC. Axis : 34.000 troops, 742 guns, 210 AFVs, 27 AC. Units disbanded 1 fortified zone.

Turn 161 Overall The USSR uses their overwhelming forces and breaks our line in two locations. This is a sloght concern, but it was expected. I think things will start to escalate rather quickly now. 15 USSR attacks resulted in 13 helds and 2 retreats. Losses Casualties report messed up this turn, and too tired to add all battles together atm.

Turn 162 Overall The enemy keep banging their head on our line. This turn all 14 attacks resulted in helds, although 6 of our forts were reduced (3 from 4 to 3, and 3 from 3 to 2). Der F�hrer has promised us that our scientists are developing some new WonderWeapons that will change the outcome of the war. We hope these will be available soon!

Turn 163 Overall Same old same old, the USSR heeds Stalins words in that numbers hold a quality of their own. So far however, technological quality outperforms numerically quality 8 : 1. The USSR launch 18 attacks, scoring 16 helds and 2 retreats. This turn the only fort reductions were from the retreats. So for now we are doing fine, although we are slowly being grinded down.

clearly massive counter attacks are now your only chance. Suprise will certainly be on your side If only more players had your tenacity................
