Turn 27, 18th december 1941 Bobo intensively uses his pzd/mot in the front line NW of Moscow, he decides to give some hexes to soften my attacks. [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/656006bobo27n.jpg[/img] Same tactic in the center [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/271836bobo27c.jpg[/img] More resistance in the South but romanians suffer near Azov's sea [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/805118bobo27s.jpg[/img]

Losses are heavy but most germans are only disabled [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/411386bobo27loss.jpg[/img] Russian army is really strong at this stage of the war [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/384748bobo27oob.jpg[/img]

Turn 28, 25th december 1941 The fights of the previous weeks allows some promotions! I get my first guard army. [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/862585bobo28promotion.jpg[/img] NW of Moscow The german line is strongly reinforced with Pzd [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/314867bobo28n1.jpg[/img] I avoid the strongest units and hit both sides. He will have to evacuate the salliant and Rjev [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/260470bobo28n2.jpg[/img]

Turn 28, 25th december 1941 In the center, german line is heavily weakening [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/751662bobo28c.jpg[/img] In the South, the german line still holds [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/186704bobo28s.jpg[/img]

looking good for you, all those 2 or 3 cv infantry divisions and no apparent fortification lines for the Germans to fall back to?

SuluSea -> RE: The Great Patriotic War (STE78 vs 821bobo) (12/3/2015 9:53:46 AM)
Great job during the first 6 months STE78, Looking forward to see what Bobos next summer offensive will be looking like.

chaos45 -> RE: The Great Patriotic War (STE78 vs 821bobo) (12/3/2015 12:41:32 PM)
Summer offensive- Bobo still has to survive 2 more months of this pounding its only late december as of these screenshots, doesnt look good for the Germans at all. 900+ German AFV lost in 1 week----at that rate German armored forces will be decimated by the end of winter.

Turn 29, 1st january 1942 New year, the blizzard is now less harsh for the germans. They recover somme firepower [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/764557bobo29battle.jpg[/img] New year means also new ratios for guards promotion [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/809220bobo29guards.jpg[/img] And above all time to evaluate our respective performance in december 1941 On the bad side: - I prove to be unable to realize a single encirclement - The german was able to resist at the places he decided: ---> North of Ilmen with the finns ---> In front of Kaluga ---> In the Stalino area where I had to face multiple Pzd units On the other side: - I was able to create a reasonable buffer in front of Moscow - I got a lot of guards units - I have shorten the front and will be able to spare at least 2 armies for the coming spring The german resistance in the South was really impresssive. I wonder if it was Worth the cost in terms of losses. Now let's see what january will look like [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/283937bobo29.jpg[/img]

Turn 30, 8th january 1942 Progress is on from Seliger lake to Kursk. I'm stuck in the north and fights are heavy in the South. I'm creating a bulge around Kharkov.... German units in Stalino-Gorlovka are becoming a tempting prey, but they are a hard nut! [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/396930bobo30.jpg[/img] Except in Gorlovka, I was able to move Pzd stacks [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/699893bobo30battle.jpg[/img]

STEF78 -> The Great Patriotic War (STE78 vs 821bobo) (12/11/2015 6:38:01 PM)
Turn 31, 15th january 1942 In front of Moscow, I keep my momentum [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/112512bobo31n.jpg[/img] Same situation in the Briansk area [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/454973bob31c.jpg[/img] In the South, 2 Cav corps are isolated... [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/696656bobo31s.jpg[/img] I try a pincer to free them. The northern one is short, but the southern one succeeds! And Bobo should begin to sing "should I stay or should I go" [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/805786bobo31s2.jpg[/img]

quote: ORIGINAL: STEF78 And Bobo should begin to sing "should I stay or should I go" uhuh, as uncle Mick would say [;)] more seriously, looks like he is running the risk of the sort of loss that would undermine his hopes for 1942

chaos45 -> RE: The Great Patriotic War (STE78 vs 821bobo) (12/11/2015 7:45:19 PM)
Curious to see what he does I think I would just rout them both out. Knock the 3 CV unit hopefully into a retreat into the 1 CV unit then hit them again to hopefully force the retreat into the open space then hit a third time to force the rout and inflict maximum casualties and morale loss on those 2 CAV corps and easily drop even the 3 CV to 1 CV for a turn or two.

I understand his decision: Destroying 2 russian cav corps early 1942 is tempting too

Turn 32, 22th january 1942 Always a lot of fights from lake Seliger to Sumy and around Stalino West of Moscow Momentum is still on despite strong Pzd units [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/898976bobo32n.jpg[/img] Bryansk The germans will obviously fight for the city [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/158030bobo33c.jpg[/img] Stalino Fascinating battle. Northern part of the city is strongly defended but I make good progress south of the city [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/423906bobo32s.jpg[/img] And a closer view. My spearhead will be routed but I want supply to be shortened for german units holding the city. [img]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/857637bobo33s2.jpg[/img]

Turn 33, 29th january 1942 As we are reaching end january, my aim will be to keep my momentum as long as possible. West of Moscow Always seeking the weak spot. I did here a significant mistake and will pay for it [img]http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/310127bobo33n.jpg[/img] Bryansk Taking the city would secure this part of the front. Bobo doesn't agree! Bryansk is heavily defended [img]http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/983667bobo33c.jpg[/img] Stalino Intense fights in this area! Before my moves [img]http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/250462bobo33s.jpg[/img] And after, nothing decisive. The romanians in the South are in bad shape but the northern defence is still strong. Some Pzd/mot are only 5/10 hexes west and could reinforce the defence. [img]http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/854322bobo33s2.jpg[/img]

Small info from Axis side. This does not happen often to the Germans. It seems Hitler doesn't like my stubborn defense. [image]local://upfiles/37518/B7CB9B41665C4D46A41E403BBF5E0DA6.jpg[/image]

Turn 34, 5th february 1942 New increase of the german CV. Focus on the 3 main areas Smolensk 2 guards cav corps are isolated by a german counterattack. It will be difficult to save them as the 5 stacks between my Cav units and the rescuers are over 20 [img]http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/281014bobo34n1.jpg[/img] Different attemps from the north and the south failed... the CV 21 stack proved to be a CV 27... my 2 Cav Corps are doomed [:(] [img]http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/933884bobo34n2.jpg[/img]

Turn 34, 5th february 1942 Bryansk Situation before my moves, I will try a concentric move around the city [img]http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/359434bobo34c1.jpg[/img] Some progress in the north but time is on german side... nothing decisive [img]http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/542139bobo34c2.jpg[/img]

STEF78 -> The Great Patriotic War (STE78 vs 821bobo) (1/4/2016 9:49:24 PM)
Stalino Strong counterattacks from the german Pzd stabilize the german line. Stalino is still strongly in german hands [img]http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/788960bobo34s1.jpg[/img] After my moves, the southern defence of Stalino is near from collapsing. I have still 3 weeks to take the city [img]http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/441190bobo34s2.jpg[/img]

I have still 3 weeks to take the city ... good tense stuff, nice to see a German player prepared to fight it out on the front lines. I also think that if a German player wants to do real damage in 1942 (especially to industry and manpower) then they need to hold as far east in the winter as they can?
