BrianG -> RE: 76 (12/30/2016 1:50:31 AM)

the next 3 panels I bitched and moaned about low german retreat casualties where retreat had to pass through zoc and massive artilary.

BrianG -> RE: 76 (12/30/2016 2:00:53 AM)

Final

Rivers are not frozen for few turns. Thus I am not yet concerned with big break out

BrianG -> 77 (12/31/2016 11:33:59 AM)

BrianG -> RE: 77 (12/31/2016 11:38:22 AM)

Moscow area

It was about now that I realized silly will be attempting to cut my rr to all troops lower to Moscow.

I thus have been building inf corp and making this spot near the rr a strong point to keep the rr out of Nazi zoc.

I also now plan on retreating out of lower left area as VC 290 means he has to take Gorki TO WIN.

I hope, again, that this time I am not too late getting troop out.

BrianG -> RE: 77 (12/31/2016 11:39:52 AM)

599 tank attack and minimal losses for germans in the open without d fortification. Thru a zoc.

Only 130 casualties. Give me a break!!!!

BrianG -> RE: 77 (12/31/2016 11:46:02 AM)

Here was a nice push back counter attack.

Here I am worried that river will soon freeze. He has clear avenue west of Penza.

BrianG -> RE: 77 (12/31/2016 11:47:21 AM)

Also I have been trying to keep germans out of the middle area East of Penza and keep that east/west rr line open to Penza.

BrianG -> RE: 77 (12/31/2016 11:48:24 AM)

I clear out other german unit and rout this one.

My tanks will retreat to the fort line.

BrianG -> RE: 77 (12/31/2016 11:51:10 AM)

Rivers freeze next turn. I do best to put up decent line west of Penza but one square has no forts.

Here I show D values at end of the turn.

BrianG -> 78 Like he needs more help (12/31/2016 11:54:29 AM)

Here the german intention is clear. To cut the rr line running from Moscow to Ryazan.

IT MUST BE KEPT OPEN. signed. your pal Stalin.

Here the Germans get a very favorable reduction in D cv.

BrianG -> RE: 78 Like he needs more help (12/31/2016 11:56:28 AM)

I counter attack the tip of the spear.

With new corp being built, I think I can hold off this all Infantry German attacks.

BrianG -> RE: 78 north (12/31/2016 11:57:42 AM)

attack a vulnerable split division. The retreat spot is fully defended.

BrianG -> RE: 78 north (12/31/2016 11:58:13 AM)

Attack of oppurtunity

BrianG -> RE: 78 north (12/31/2016 11:59:47 AM)

I will attempt to cut off his spearhead which broke free west of Penza. Much greater than I thought would occur.

Issue of rr cut off is now paramount.

BrianG -> RE: 78 north (12/31/2016 12:03:01 PM)

I bring in these units for the crucial attack.

Here is the lineup.

If this succeeds I will attack from the west side to finish the cut off. --- Not a guarantee of victory though.

BrianG -> 78 cut off attempt (12/31/2016 12:07:45 PM)

I am now, officially, the greatest loser of 1.99999 to 1 battles.[:@]

[image]local://upfiles/41373/C5E4A27F14B4426E9E8CE6C0F16030AC.jpg[/image]



BrianG -> RE: 78 cut off attempt (12/31/2016 12:24:18 PM)

This loss forced a retreat in some good order.

the lower left ALL needs to be evacuated. I have about 45,000 rr capacity a turn.

And who knows how long lines(2 atm) will remain open.

I am shifting troops west from kubashev area as pressure East has abated.

290 vc means, I think, that even with me giving up 3 the small urban cities lower west, he still need to take Gorki

With Heavy snow blizzard conditions, he will not be able to shift axis of his main attack.

thus I will attempt new line much further north of the break thru with troops that are evacuated.

All rr movement from the Urals have been suspended pending the 'dunkirk' plan.

I am ok just above Penza with troops that shifted west.

BrianG -> Final East (12/31/2016 12:26:43 PM)

Pressure abates.

I will shift troops west and north west

BrianG -> RE: Final Far south (12/31/2016 12:29:19 PM)

I have been doing poor job getting supplies to partisans.

What is the best night distance supply plane for the Russians? or best two?

I will lose access to the port soon as his mountain troops have arrived. They will be unstoppable.

I contemplate a full escape from this area and head North East

BrianG -> final middle slow retreat (12/31/2016 12:33:30 PM)

Voronezh and Tamboy and ultimately Tula will be abandoned.[:(]

BrianG -> Final lower Moscow (12/31/2016 12:37:15 PM)

For once I am confident I should be able to hold the line just west of the north - south rr line.

and should cause some real German casualties. All new Corp are being formed here with veteran troops.

BrianG -> The rr situation (12/31/2016 12:38:37 PM)

Here is the rr supply line situation.
