BrianG -> my army (7/13/2017 2:38:09 AM)

1 Army is still in recovery/ build out faze.
2. I can move, by rr, only 3 or 4 tank/mech corp per turn due to low rr capacity.
3. I had been waiting for last clear turn to do my last clear sneak attacks knowing units would have slight chance of having units cut off.
Nonetheless, I now have units cut off which need rescue
4. My aircorp gets smashed regularly. A little better lately maybe because air rules reverted back.
5. Also tanks far north of Moscow where there to halt silly's last offensive
6. Thus getting them all together for the big fist fest has been daunting/[:'(]

I have pictures later to show on army status.

Also until last turn of clear I did not know location of SS panzers. Now I know where most of his afv is.

BrianG -> RE: 126 counter moves (7/13/2017 2:45:22 AM)

Heavy German Bomber losses.

I will leave hex open and should be able to occupy next turn.

Stalin HQ was near for this attack.

After, Stalin will rr to Penza area for those crucial events.

BrianG -> RE: 126 counter moves (7/13/2017 2:56:06 AM)

PENZA

I will attempt rescue by going around SS panzers.

Here a lowly brigade mans a 3 level fort.

I was not happy with the retreat direction. I need that hex so I can attack the Rumanian unit.

BrianG -> RE: 126 counter moves (7/13/2017 2:57:16 AM)

The brigade attack lineup which I win when germans get very large cv reduction

I have a feeling that the relief column is going to get surrounded and yet another rescue attempt :( Good luck Brian.

turn is now done.

I'm guessing silly will do a rather large rout.

rest of turn action to follow




BrianG -> RE: 126 counter moves (7/13/2017 10:13:38 PM)

I look away and attack west of Saratov.

Mostly trying to get some units some nice wins. Plus I am finally able to do so.

BrianG -> RE: 126 counter moves (7/13/2017 10:15:33 PM)

Now I set eyes on West side of the pocket. Can I enclose?

This retreat did not help as I had to attack it 2 more times till it routed

BrianG -> RE: 126 counter moves (7/13/2017 10:17:11 PM)

finally it routs but uses up local units mp better used on the front line

BrianG -> RE: 126 counter moves (7/13/2017 10:19:48 PM)

Here is the 5th shock army which took 3 turns to rr down here from far north.

It is not a very experienced group

BrianG -> RE: 126 counter moves (7/13/2017 10:23:30 PM)

left flank attack uses only 5 units as I miss-moved one unit who could not back out.

I think this was the lowest cv to attack.

BrianG -> RE: 126 counter moves (7/14/2017 11:39:50 PM)

I attack useing the formally cut off troops. odd retreat direction

BrianG -> RE: 126 counter moves (7/15/2017 1:36:37 AM)

I then sneak in 1 armor left and move one cut off unit left routing an unnamed german hq.

That is the extent of my cutoff attempt. Not bad.

BrianG -> RE: 126 counter moves (7/15/2017 1:40:41 AM)

I then move my first guards army ( all tanks) west near Penza to help out with next weeks rescue attempt.

I also reattach hq to Stakva which is now located near Penza

Far east tank attack. When oh when will my 2nd tank Army convert to Guards tank army. Oh when oh Stalin[&o]

My tanks here are keeping Silly from moving some units to Penza.

BrianG -> RE: 126 counter moves (7/15/2017 1:45:01 AM)

2 german reserve activations is not enough to help

BrianG -> RE: 126 counter moves (7/15/2017 1:47:37 AM)

I ponder what to do with the single combat Germans units in the forward hexes. Should I leave them as is or retreat them back.

I attack. here is first lineup.

That this tank unit would retreat to the SS panzer hex made this avenue of attack unlikely to relieve the trapped units.

BrianG -> RE: 126 mid turn tank corp oob (7/15/2017 1:52:04 AM)

I really wonder when some of these units will finally convert to guards.

Look at some of the large win loss records of non converted
