Turn 193, 22th february 1945

Fierce battles to deny access to east prussia! Heavy cost for successfull attacks and very heavy cost for failed attacks!

successfull counterattacks against advanced russian units west of Zhitomir

Not one step back anymore! My line is looking rather strong

Turn 194, 1st march 1945

We do our best effort to delay russian advance in the northern part of the front. Almost all reinforcements received were sent here.

IIn Ukraine, russian hordes are at contact with my major line of resistance

Just an absolutely laudable accomplishment you guys have here! I have been paying close attention
to this and I wanted to say thanks!

Turn 195, 8th march 1945

1945 is really a different year. I thought my line would have held... what a mistake! Fortunatelly, the weather was snow and tank corps didn't have enough MP's t fully exploit the breakthrough

[img]https://i.imgur.com/rwXcdBB.jpg[/img]

I do my best to restore the line but we pay such a high price for couterattacks!

[img]https://i.imgur.com/inYK8Vj.jpg[/img]

In the north, the line holds. Both side losses are above 100k men.

SparkleyTits -> RE: March 1945 (7/13/2018 6:59:12 PM)

113k Axis losses [X(]




STEF78 -> March 1945 (7/14/2018 5:53:35 PM)

A view of the evolution of the OOB

German OOB is looking better than it should. It's due to the significant amount of units received as reinforcement. Without them, it would be 200k men and 2k AFV lower

the way the game is counting AFV changed some patches ago. The number should be divided per 2 or 3.

Pzd supermen? [;)]

note that the losses is recent fights are far higher




STEF78 -> March 1945 (7/18/2018 6:16:08 AM)

Turn 196, 15th march 1945

Heavy fights in Ukraine, we definitively cannot hold the ground, no rest north of Pripyat. No comment about the losses. Most of TOEs are now below 50. I'm short of more than 900k men to fill the OOB.

Pzd are "supermen" but I lost 500 AFV and medium tank TOE is around 50. I get 90 Panther/PzIV per week, it's not enough to equilibrate the losses.

Mud will be more than welcome... and then?

No idea -> RE: March 1945 (7/18/2018 10:22:10 AM)

You have done much better than irl. By this date the soviets were getting ready for their assault on Berlin, at the other side of the Oder

Turn 197, 22th march 1945


Always heavy fights north of Pripyat, I can only delay russian advance

[img]https://i.imgur.com/XQEpjAI.jpg[/img]

In Ukraine, Stelteck moved the bulk of his tank corps north. My lines are badly hurt, hungarian units cannot resist such a treatment. Fortunatly Rendulic and XVIIth corps did the job.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/1lvF6hr.jpg[/img]

I decide to give some ground and to reinforce this area

[img]https://i.imgur.com/DPlIZYx.jpg[/img]

The losses, unsustainable...

And the OOB

EwaldvonKleist -> RE: March 1945 (7/23/2018 4:12:53 PM)

@Stelteck: How are the Lend-Lease numbers in 1945?

Please send me another screenshot of the production screen showing sprecial factories and supply stocks!

Mud is close now, last week of snow

Stubborn resistance in the north

Counterattacking russian Advanced units in Ukraine. Nothing to do when rifle corps are at contact...

rather lucky... unescorted bombers trying to bomb moving troops.

average loss ratio is more like 1/1.5




xhoel -> RE: March 1945 (7/26/2018 8:08:30 PM)

Still quite a substantial loss. Well that loss ratio is to be expected considering that you are now in 1945. Has mud hit yet?




STEF78 -> April 1945 (7/27/2018 8:36:45 PM)

Turn 199, 5th april 1945

Mud, it's mud [;)]

It's been an active winter season. There no way to stop russian advance. You can only delay it.

Fortunatly I destroyed several tank corps in november and received lots of units in february.

Now it's time to refit before the last summer. It will be a new experience...

PS:I'm still holding Leningrad!

STEF78 -> May 1945 (7/29/2018 4:41:24 PM)

Turn 203, 3rd may 1945

Mud is over. We try to determine the future axes of attacks. Concentration of russian mobile units let me almost no doubt. Main attacks should occur:
- in northern Ukraine
- between Kaunas an Brest Litovsk

[img]https://i.imgur.com/4zUthdZ.jpg[/img]

I give some ground but don't change my units disposal. With 50 Mps tank corps can cover a wide operational area . 3 Pzk are set on refit to react as soon as main effort ruusian axe is identied.

What turn does the game end? How much longer do you have to hold out?

It's bitter end. It should end turn 225... so we have done 90% of the travel even if I'm currently back to my departure line [:(]

By this date the allies should be getting to Berlin o

Turn 204, 10th may 1945

Russian tank corps are ready to attack west of Rowno... I'm worried, stacks with a defensive CV lower than 50 have no chance to resist.

Turn 205, 17th may 1945

No pasaran! 3 Pzk are sent in northern Ukraine. I now have 5 full Pzk in this area.

I cannot do much more. As strategic reserve it remains 2 Pzd and some useless inf units

BrianG -> RE: May 1945 (8/4/2018 12:04:08 PM)

The last picture. Lots of rr cuts. So nice of the Rumanian populous to join in.




STEF78 -> May 1945 (8/6/2018 8:38:05 AM)

Turn 206, 25th may 1945

Soviet steamroll is on...

Axis defences are rather strong around the Niemen and deny the direct access to East Prussia. Soviet main effort is headind South west.

Only Pzd can now stop russian advance but they can't be everywhere. Note the final odd of the 3 infs stack in light woods... desesperating.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/3iaG6fp.jpg[/img]

In Ukraine Russian main effort is heading north west. Once the 2 russian groups will gather I be in front of a "tank corps ball" in open ground. so it's important to use marshes and woods as it's still possible.

timmyab -> RE: May 1945 (8/6/2018 1:24:10 PM)

The situation in the Wastern Ukraine looks dangerous. Might be safest to give ground further South in order to reinforce that area. In fact I think I waould abandon Romania and pull back to the mountains at this stage.

I don't have much ground to trade anymore... I thought about giving up Romania but changed my mind. I will try to keep them on the "right side" as long as possible.
