4th July 1941 Turn 4 Army Group South In the south I suspect Vinnitsia and Zhitomir are going to be crucial to my hopes.... [image]local://upfiles/28156/6408FFD2794247E585140015D4DCD5AB.jpg[/image]

8th July 1941 Turn 5 Lets do a quick review of my opponent's turn to see what the damage is. There looks to have been one battle - but my brave soldiers stood firm and did not yield an inch to the commies! [image]local://upfiles/28156/1AF13369AABD4515BD8AB22553370D98.jpg[/image]

8th July 1941 Turn 5 To the decisions now, and what do we have: - expand Romanian oil supply (8pp) Antonescu not impressed - Tyre priority (5pp) von Bock pleased but von Rundstedt not happy..... - Pressure from above (0pp) I am damned if I am spending pp on keeping von Brauchitsch happy.. - Atrocities - not sure what I am being asked here (4pp) for?? - I move the AGC FSB to Minsk - I adopt a protective doctrine for the EinBbahntruppe (8pp)

8th July 1941 Turn 5 Army Group South I look at this theatre first. This is the situation at the start of the turn. The order goes out - take Odessa at all costs! [image]local://upfiles/28156/36773ACEFC2040158866D0457AA2E36B.jpg[/image]

8th July 1941 Turn 5 Army Group South The German/Romanian forces make progress - although are nowhere near Odessa come the end of the turn. Interestingly the Soviet 117th Rifle Division is stronger at the end of my turn than at the beginning - 52 vs 57????? [image]local://upfiles/28156/B1AC67F2836F49D9B481CECF5FD944E3.jpg[/image]

8th July 1941 Turn 5 Army Group South Further north in AGC, the 1st Panzergruppe have only run out of flippin fuel!!! Not good - but at least Lvov falls.... [image]local://upfiles/28156/532996E3000E4D24A970F322FA12CD78.jpg[/image]

8th July 1941 Turn 5 Army Group Centre To AGC now. The supply routes are all green but fuel is low for these troops to so I will need to be careful. The turn gets off to a bad start. The Siege Artillery at Brest has reduced fortification to zero - but six German divisions are unable to take the city.... ....and gets worse when this army group also runs out of gas....

8th July 1941 Turn 5 Army Group North The fuel situation is acute. AGN also run out of gas before anything like all their panzer formations get to engage the enemy - or in many cases even move.... [image]local://upfiles/28156/561AAC0BA71E4B3284C536A016222282.jpg[/image]

12th July 1941 Turn 6 The mud has returned. Worryingly, fuel has become critical.....

The higher the Recon value the more accurate your info about what's in that hex. You can see your Recon value in a hex by selecting that hex and looking at the UI header under Recon. You want to have +400 (I think) Recon to accurately see what's in the hex.

12th July 1941 Turn 6 Army Group South - I spend 5pp to transfer the FSB to Proskurow. Apparently this will take TWELVE DAYS!! - I transfer the main airfield to Proskurow too at a cost of a further 4pp - I also have to make a decision re truck columns and the 1st Panzergruppe. I still use as a starting point the fact that I do not want to upset my army commanders. I therefore spend no pp on this. With the airfield and the FSB being transferred, it makes sense (I think!) to put the 1st Panzergruppe on rest and refit. I switch artillery support to von Reichenau's 6th Army. Command Focus switches to Stulpnagel's 17th Army.

12th July 1941 Turn 6 Army Group South The rain has fallen in large quantities, the Dneistr has burst its banks all along the river, and the surrounding land has become a bog. von Rundstedt thanks General Schubert for the report and enquires as to whether he has any more good news...... There are necessarily few attacks in this sector - indeed movement itself is hugely stifled. That said, the 11th Army and the Romanians continue to make (slow) progress toward the Bug.

12th July 1941 Turn 6 Army Group South Further to the northwest, with the armour of the 1st Panzergruppe immobile, the infantry of army look to assault Zhitomir, while further south two divisions of 17th Army attack the 193rd Rifle Division west of Vinnitsa. Both of these attacks are far from ideal, but there is no possibility of getting any other units in contact with the enemy thanks to the mud. As expected, neither attack provides anything tangible by way of results. [image]local://upfiles/28156/1B0A6CD70A424F7B89ABE5977CE08A6E.jpg[/image]

12th July 1941 Turn 6 Army Group South Finally 6th Army are in the worst position of all. The entire army is surrounded in a sea of mud and barely make any movement east.... Who needs 'General Winter' when you have 'Field Marshal Mud' on your side? [image]local://upfiles/28156/B681D598ED484A649EA335F46578F403.jpg[/image]

12th July 1941 Turn 6 Finland The Finnish sector remains quiet. The Finnish 7th Infantry is pulled out of the line and placed on rest and refit. In Central Finland an attack against the 237th Rifle Division fails to yield the expected results.... [image]local://upfiles/28156/6DAFB0ABE04A40B69CEF75AE3FDB81AA.jpg[/image]

12th July 1941 Turn 6 Turning to reports and decisions... - I spend 0pp and refuse to take part in Goebbels propaganda machine - I support reducing civilian oil rations by a quarter 6pp - I spend 4pp to ignore problems with the rail infrastructure - I spend no pp to keep von Leeb happy re trucks - this turns my relations with Wagner into the poor department.... - Similarly I upset Gercke over a train issue, but relations remain strong. - I further upset Gercke over artillery supplies for AGN - but I have to keep von Leeb happy... - I spend 2pp to get convoys moving to Liepaja. That should please Gercke and Wagner!!

12th July 1941 Turn 6 Army Group North Another theatre - another load of mud.... Operations are limited to the important tasks of taking Riga and Dunaburg with the limited fuel available to the army group..... [image]local://upfiles/28156/9D95C3A5952E4BC486F550AC1FEE7B4A.jpg[/image]

12th July 1941 Turn 6 Army Group Centre This is a real mess. No fuel, the army units are surrounded in mud and the infantry some way from the action in most cases... I change from a blitzkrieg posture to sustained offensive. [image]local://upfiles/28156/5E05A9AECBD04FCEAAB920EC9786C9C8.jpg[/image]

16th July 1941 Turn 7 Okay so lets see what is what. A check of the previous turn is first up. Not too much to be honest - there were 3 attacks (I think) but the Germans/Romanians stood firm. Issues this turn: I have no fuel for AGC and AGS [:(]

16th July 1941 Turn 7 Finland A Soviet rifle division is destroyed in the north and two divisions made to retreat in the Isthmus. I place another Finnish division - the 8th - on R+R. [image]local://upfiles/28156/E579B26F79804ACD9CA7FF7B35C34415.jpg[/image]

16th July 1941 Turn 7 Army Group North - I decide not to relocate the FSB (0pp) - I spend 11pp on truck repairs. I can't afford it but hey, I keep von Leeb happy! - I spend 6pp to cheese Gercke off (but not too badly) - and manage to get relations with Wagner on track. Am I a general or an agony aunt?!?! [:D]

16th July 1941 Turn 7 Army Group South Progress is slow in the deep south. The whole sector is infantry only as there is not a single drop of oil in the bunkers.... [image]local://upfiles/28156/AC5FE6FC629A48FA89090632BD75F7DD.jpg[/image]

20th July 1941 Turn 8 Army Group North Okay things have turned really sour over the last couple of turns so I will take a bit of time to try and find out where I am - it's so easy to lose track - especially with more than one game going on. Army Group North Posture = 4th Panzergruppe is reorganising into a defensive posture Command Focus = 4th Panzergruppe Tactical Air Support = 4th Panzergruppe Theatre Artillery = 16th Army Direct Fire Artillery Support = 10 divisions?? FSB = Konigsberg (truck columns travelling excessive distances) Truck Maintenance = 5% Units in R+R = 6 Fast and 5 Slow (who?) Relationships � von Leeb = Positive Panzergruppe Summary = 47% Operational � Transports 79% Operational Units outside command range: 2 x Karelian Army Other: Finns refusing to go beyond the 1939 borders Partisan level = 2% So what does all this tell me? - I need to move my FSB to Dunaburg. - I will therefore take the opportunity of resting and refitting all units. Only one army at a time apparently. - I will move my airfield to Jakobstadt. Plan of action. No further advance until units rested.
