BrianG -> 74 final positions (11/25/2016 12:57:05 PM)

Here is the final positons with D strength shown.

My lower right tank army is used to rout the far east German infantry division.

They are held back from deeper incursions as I may need them next turns to hit his right flank
They cannot be sacrificed.

I continue to rr in better troops from other fronts to keep up strenght.

ORIGINAL: BrianG
I have accounted for almost all his armor on a review.
EXCEPT I only see the SS Viking division. I cannot, atm, locate his other ss divisions.

And I am not clear how many of these he has at this point. They are the next turn wild card.

Maybe, maybe, they are still on rr moving this way or are here and being used as reserve knockout force.


LSSAH, Das Reich and Totenkopf have all withdrawn now.

Das Reich returns T87
LSSAH and Totenkopf return T91

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 snow turn 2 of 3 (12/3/2016 3:21:48 PM)

D odds reduced.

Horrible Russian loss with fort2 rough hex. Supposed to anchor area.

One thing I've noticed I've started to kill many more German bombers.

although I did do an air superiority attack near Moscow on my turn and lost over 32 fighters to no Germans. (I am too embarrassed to post photo view)

BrianG -> TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 3:26:01 PM)

I continue to harass.

Here I rescue tank corp.

I end up wishing I had some good infantry further south to support the Guards tank army down there.

The GD division now anchors the German position.

I have good d fort line behind but must attack and start bleeding these German troops

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 3:27:53 PM)

Deep move to rescue

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 3:32:44 PM)

prebattle to rout.

I think of also cutting off area from below with Guard tank army but can't as German infantry has advanced.

There was a ripe hex with 2 hq's and a 1/3 split inf div just below my trapped tank corp

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 3:35:15 PM)

The German casualties in this rout, some units already retreated, are atrocious.

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 3:37:18 PM)

more low retreat casualties. imo

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 3:43:41 PM)

Knowing I had more work to do on the east side, I shift attention west.

I look and see a path to cut off over 12 to 13 German tank and mech divisions in the spear tip.

YES[:)]

First was to retreat this division into correct spot.

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 3:49:26 PM)

I surround the 12-24 German inf division in the forest hex. I will rout it out. IT MUST GO!

Area here, just east of the Uza river, is important.

I need to keep him out until his infantry arrives to makes it impossible.


The split tank div just below the river is stacked with panzer tank corp hq (it reads hq 3?5) and I also want to get that hex if possible.

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 3:51:03 PM)

The rout. Used up my infantry around here with this attack.

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 4:06:45 PM)

I hold back my Guards Infantry corp from this attack. it's mp is 15.

If I can get a free route to the 3 = 4 iii split mech div just sw of my trapped units, it could advance far enough to attempt two hasty attacks
Problem is retreating other units to the correct hexes.

I get a good retreat direction for this battle.

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 4:09:59 PM)

I end up advancing the guard corp to hit the mech division in the way. This is the second of its' retreat.
I had no other troops sufficient to reach area.

I will advance a weak tank corp into the breach which will attempt the rescue attack.

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 4:19:52 PM)

Utter failure[:@]

I attack from inside and out

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 4:22:32 PM)

I then try the right side of the pocket to at least get in supply.

Here another hasty loss. My Cav corp got into spot with mp 5 left.

I felt there was no way to attack the flanks to open up clear rout to the attacking hex.

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 4:23:34 PM)

My back up plan of full attack with Guards tank corp works.[:'(]

[image]local://upfiles/41373/8444120A65764421AD9D9A1C09A49F0D.jpg[/image]



BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 4:24:49 PM)

which means that if I had attacked the right side first, the left side attack would have had more strength from resupplied inner troops.

And would have succeeded in doing the MASSIVE cut off.

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 4:27:47 PM)

I attack units in 'pocket to drain everything they have.

nice bomber damage.

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 4:29:38 PM)

I attack this tank division. Its retreat had to go over major river.

It may not be good for the next turn that this tank division is now in support east of river

Nice bomber damage again

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 4:31:18 PM)

here I had a hard call to make.

Rout or leave surrounded.

I ended up with rout because just to far ahead and may result in more units of mine surrounded next turn.

I hope this was the right move.

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 4:33:55 PM)

Last attack east of the river.

I find no way to get to that tank corp hq just south of the Uza.

BrianG -> RE: TURN 75 russian moves (12/3/2016 4:35:20 PM)

Rumanian tank attacked.

BrianG -> TURN 75 final south (12/3/2016 4:37:02 PM)

German cav div and mountain troops have arrived.

He will push over river next turn ( will need a decent attack) and then I will retreat east at full speed.
And again hopefully not a turn to late[:'(]

BrianG -> TURN 75 final Saratov east (12/3/2016 4:40:30 PM)

Final Saratov east.

I surround the German inf division below as I had no way to cut off more with the Guards tank army.

The area there is majorly weak of Russian infantry.

i'm assuming he will either try to corrale units, or smash directly Northeast on the rivers right side.

BrianG -> TURN 75 final Saratov west (12/3/2016 4:44:34 PM)

i'm assuming he will rout middle units and pick a direction to attack.

Or attempt corral on my right side rescue troops

BrianG -> TURN 75 final Bocuchar (12/3/2016 4:45:41 PM)

I will be retreating to the back line of defense over the next few turns
