The mighty 57th has been saved just to be lost few turns later. [:(] [image]local://upfiles/37518/C49A132BF11E4514A2D1B47EB3C5B305.jpg[/image]

821Bobo -> T6 - 24.7.-30.7.1941 (1/15/2017 4:17:38 PM)
Turn 6 - 24.7.-30.7.1941 Factories evacuated: Poltava 8 Arms Leningrad 7 Arms & 1x KV-1 Dnepropetrovsk 5 HI Krivoi Rog 3 Arms North The small bridgehead from previous week has been expanded and few units are threatened to be cut off.

Turn 6 - 24.7.-30.7.1941 Center Remains of the Mogilev pocket are still alive. Other than reducing the pocket, only limited German advance in the center sector. This time I have rather retreated behind next river because I can not afford to lose more units now. [image]local://upfiles/37518/B1E9611F63734B0BAF1B9AFF06A20846.jpg[/image]

Turn 6 24.7.-30.7.1941 South New pocket in the south and another 7 rifle divisions will be doomed next turn in Kiev. I decided to not retreat from Kiev because Panzers would have been able to cut them next turn anyway. In Kiev they can at least survive for few turns.

Turn 7 - 31.7.-6.8.1941 Factories evacuated: Zaporozhye 4 HI Bryansk 4 Arms & 4 HI Ordzonikidzegrad 4 Arms Krivoi Rog 3 HI Kursk 2 Arms North Few units ended in pocket. Rifle division evacuated from Riga is moving to help but it is too late. [image]local://upfiles/37518/C229BCEF98CD494E9E43321781F102E5.jpg[/image]

821Bobo -> T 7 - 31.7.-6.8.1941 (1/17/2017 3:27:22 PM)
Turn 7 - 31.7.-6.8.1941 Center Quite week in the center sector. Panzers are resting and maybe doing buildup. [image]local://upfiles/37518/9CE5F3851919484D972092180B7FCE63.jpg[/image]

821Bobo -> T7 - 31.7.-6.8.1941 (1/17/2017 3:30:55 PM)
Turn 7 - 31.7.-6.8.1941 South Kiev still not isolated, Odessa firmly in Soviet hands, the situation in south is not that bad but many units have been lost and I have very limited replacements now. [image]local://upfiles/37518/CA2048E12032419FB534DF1F40B2F3BA.jpg[/image]

821Bobo -> T8 - 7.8.-13.8.1941 (1/18/2017 6:31:02 PM)
Turn 8 - 7.8.-13.8.1941 Factories evacuated: Kharkov 20 Vehicles & 4 HI Moscow 4 Yak-7A North Germans slowly grinding towards Leningrad [image]local://upfiles/37518/E1C87D94CFA3491382707308BDA696AF.jpg[/image]

821Bobo -> T8 - 7.8.-13.8.1941 (1/18/2017 6:37:21 PM)
Turn 8 - 7.8.-13.8.1941 Center One river line broken, order of the day retreat behind next river. Center sector is gaining from the missing Panzer Korps that were moved to south. Thus the south is another story. [image]local://upfiles/37518/97C52A522C8C4AA3BFADC02929FA5A94.jpg[/image]

821Bobo -> T8 - 7.8.-13.8.1941 (1/18/2017 6:41:29 PM)
Turn 8 - 7.8.-13.8.1941 South Kiev finally isolated, will try to keep it alive as long as possible via air supply. Unfortunately Panzers were able to cross two river line. On the bright side the second river is still in Soviet hands. [image]local://upfiles/37518/4ED0388814884DE6A6616197C59643AF.jpg[/image]

timmyab -> RE: T8 - 7.8.-13.8.1941 (1/18/2017 7:05:23 PM)
You seem to be doing ok. Nice squeeze West of Poltava. I would be doing more of this, his flanks are loose.

OOB is around 4-4.2M. Yes his flank security is nearly non-existent but I failed miserably to exploit it. [:(] We are currently on T14 and few more disasters did happen. I am really afraid what I will see on T14. [sm=Christo_pull_hair.gif]

821Bobo -> T9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941 (1/19/2017 3:55:50 PM)
Turn 9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941 Factories evacuated: Stalino 20 Arms 5 Vehicles Moscow 4 IL-4 Unfortunately I was short few RR capacity points to get the whole Stalino armaments out at once. North Grinding continues but I underestimated the digging capacity. Leningrad is lost case. [image]local://upfiles/37518/DB61D3B1A5164BBEB41FE3B39760DE9D.jpg[/image]

821Bobo -> T9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941 (1/19/2017 3:59:24 PM)
Turn 9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941 Center Small Axis gains, Smolensk abandoned. [image]local://upfiles/37518/5E9893F8ACAE4BFD9E4412560E1F27AC.jpg[/image]

821Bobo -> T9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941 (1/19/2017 4:02:45 PM)
Turn 9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941 South Another pocket, this one was really unexpected. Southern sector is close to collapse. Dnepropetrovsk abandoned as I can't afford to loose any more divisions. At least I was lucky with weather and next week will be mud. [image]local://upfiles/37518/0DF3DA925BE14ED6A827EF674E904465.jpg[/image]

Manstein63 -> RE: T9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941 (1/19/2017 4:19:12 PM)
Don't bank on the next turn actually being mud. I my game against Michael T that report said that ifwas supposed to be a mud turn in the Leningrad sector, but when we had the turn it was actually clear instead of mud. Remember it is only a forcast and forcasts can be wrong. Manstein63

821Bobo -> RE: T9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941 (1/19/2017 4:42:35 PM)
I know, the chance is if I recall 75%. But we are on T14 so I know the forecast has been correct. [:)]

Twigster -> RE: T9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941 (1/19/2017 8:11:13 PM)
Absolutely love the map you are using! [8D]

821Bobo -> T10 - 21.8.-27.8.1941 (2/4/2017 11:45:39 AM)
Turn 10 - 21.8.-27.8.1941 Factories evacuated: Tula 20 Arms Kramatorskaya 3 Arms Taganrog 1xLaGG-3 '11 North Forecast was accurate with the mud in central weather zone. [image]local://upfiles/37518/963A5964AB42450691224608F0AB3231.jpg[/image]

821Bobo -> T10 - 21.8.-27.8.1941 (2/4/2017 11:47:54 AM)
Turn 10 - 21.8.-27.8.1941 Center Mud in the central zone affected also operations in front of Moscow so luckily no ugly surprise here. [image]local://upfiles/37518/24EAEF9FBA784B36A22F24DDE54E9DBE.jpg[/image]

821Bobo -> T10 - 21.8.-27.8.1941 (2/4/2017 11:51:40 AM)
Turn 10 - 21.8.-27.8.1941 South I have abandoned Odessa, units are needed elsewhere. Mud saved the day in the south! [image]local://upfiles/37518/D538157CAFAD4FD4802A55BBB70FE6A5.jpg[/image]

821Bobo -> T11 - 28.8.-3.9.1941 (2/4/2017 11:58:28 AM)
Turn 11 - 28.8.-3.9.1941 Factories evacuated: Kaluga 7 Arms Stalino 5 HI Makeevka 3 Arms Gorlovka 3 Arms North I was once again surprised by the Panzers. With the clear weather back my line was broken and I lost Shliselburg. This early it means there is no hope for Leningrad.

821Bobo -> T11 - 28.8.-3.9.1941 (2/4/2017 12:06:27 PM)
Turn 11 - 28.8.-3.9.1941 Center Germans advanced little bit just to reach my lines. West of Tula, Panzers made little bridgehead across Oka but I've been able to seal this small breach. [image]local://upfiles/37518/D2360C38250F4BB98EC3423BE9F46CAC.jpg[/image]

821Bobo -> T11 - 28.8.-3.9.1941 (2/4/2017 12:14:34 PM)
Turn 11 - 28.8.-3.9.1941 South The pocket has been cleared in one turn and immediately followed new catastrophe. 2 complete Armies were encircled. This time I fought back. Around half of the 1. Panzer Gruppe is isolated and/or their supply lines are contest with ZOC. If it will not work the South Front will collapse. [image]local://upfiles/37518/85724EE273424BAB87C58F6698201555.jpg[/image]

topeverest -> RE: T9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941 (2/4/2017 2:38:34 PM)
Would you happen to know if I can switch to this map in the middle of a game without impacting it? Or do both sides have to install it at the beginning to work?NAL: Twigster Absolutely love the map you are using! [8D] [/quote]

Twigster -> RE: T9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941 (2/4/2017 2:41:53 PM)
I am interested in the answer to that one myself!

821Bobo -> RE: T9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941 (2/4/2017 2:47:09 PM)
Yes you can switch to the modded map whenever you want. It doesn't have any impact on ongoing game.

821Bobo -> T12 - 4.9.-10.9.1941 (2/4/2017 3:59:18 PM)
Turn 12 - 4.9.-10.9.1941 Factories evacuated: Tula 5 Arms Kaluga 2 HI Stalino 9 Arms Gorlovka 3 HI North 4. Panzer Gruppe at shores of Neva. The key hex still only with level 2 fort and I forgot to fortify Osinovets. [:(] [image]local://upfiles/37518/0A10A2DFC5144618BF8ADE24070AFC84.jpg[/image]

821Bobo -> T12 - 4.9.-10.9.1941 (2/4/2017 4:03:32 PM)
Turn 12 - 4.9.-10.9.1941 Center This turn I was again lucky with mud in north weather zone. Unfortunately I don't have strength to destroy that 2 IDs surrounded in previous week. At least they will suffer from attrition and morale hit. [image]local://upfiles/37518/D84C2DA893244CC38CBF1FD114B2A517.jpg[/image]

821Bobo -> T12 - 4.9.-10.9.1941 (2/4/2017 4:07:59 PM)
Turn 12 - 4.9.-10.9.1941 South Zaporozhye pocket reopened once again. I took the risk only because forecast for next week in south is mud. I have been probably very lucky with mud 3 weeks in a row. [image]local://upfiles/37518/CC987638F2CA49B2BB06C3721BD6D27E.jpg[/image]
