BrianG -> 130 the tide turns (7/24/2017 10:43:22 PM)

I decide to turn left toward Saratov and attempt to cut off all these German units.

From both sides I do 4 or 5 hasty attacks but the German 7-9 would not budge.



BrianG -> RE: 130 the tide turns (7/24/2017 10:44:44 PM)

so I attack further left forcing Silly to send some tanks left as well to meet this local cut off attempt.

The retreat losses seem low here.

Thats quite allot of penetrations, it looks like there is some steam in your offensive, bot on the other hands the moves look risky. Lets hope that sillyflower can't turn this into a desaster.

He has a few things to consider. we are in blizzard so mp is more and his tanks seem to be all in the front line.

He has 3 separate groups to save. And his tanks will need to move far to counterattack.

Also his troops north of Saratov will not have hq range next turn.




BrianG -> 131 the tide still turns (7/27/2017 12:13:08 PM)

One of us is caught in the rip tide.

This shows the key German battle of the turn.

Stelteck -> RE: 131 the tide still turns (7/27/2017 12:17:35 PM)

902 tanks destroyed in battle ?
Could we have a screen of soviet tanks looses type ?

It is funny you still killed some Pz38 :-). And the germans used T-60 which is really a death trap.

BrianG -> RE: 131 the tide still turns (7/28/2017 8:13:26 PM)

I begin my rescue efforts

BrianG -> RE: 131 the tide still turns (7/28/2017 8:14:06 PM)

They retreat and I resupply. Trapped tank units did not recover good mp nor cv.

BrianG -> RE: 131 the tide still turns (7/28/2017 8:15:44 PM)

Here the Germans did a very orderly retreat back towards supply

BrianG -> RE: 131 the tide still turns (7/28/2017 8:16:26 PM)

I push aside the Rumanian just south on Engles.

BrianG -> RE: 131 the tide still turns (7/28/2017 8:17:48 PM)

Probing south as I would have thought west side of major river(even though frozen) would have some forts.

Seems thin down here.

BrianG -> RE: 131 the tide still turns (7/28/2017 8:19:07 PM)

NO pictures but I attack west just south of Saratov which results in large German pocket cut off from supply.

the 1/1 cav and then the 3 = 3 rumanian



BrianG -> RE: 131 the tide still turns (7/28/2017 8:20:58 PM)

North T

I surround this German tank hex. I will attack it in the next panel

I will fail

BrianG -> RE: 131 the tide still turns (7/28/2017 8:22:37 PM)

Back at Saratov.

I ponder what to do next around here. I go for cleaner front and smash into the rough hex

BrianG -> RE: 131 the tide still turns (7/28/2017 8:23:56 PM)

I only had fire power left to attack this hex.

very heavy tank battle

BrianG -> RE: 131 the tide still turns (7/28/2017 8:25:26 PM)

and I rout this hex for more space.

Some out there may say not smart and should have left in pocket. Let the debate begin . I might be wrong.

BrianG -> RE: 131 final positions (7/28/2017 8:31:34 PM)

Tam to Saratov.

My guess is Silly will rout my tanks and reestablish a line.
South of Saratov--- he is in bad positions having held far to forward
