Operation Jaws
So far I have done movements on the Chernigov/Bryansk Sector. This front has been a bit overloaded, considering it does not provide a natural avenue of advance for the Wehrmacht. In this sector the plan is to retreat all mechanized and motorized units from this sector to help with the defense of Moscow. A token force of four infantry divisions from the 21st Army will be left behind along the Snov-Desna river line to force the supply-stretched German infantry there to spend fuel and MPs crossing the rivers.
Additional infantry forces will be placed around Bryansk and Tula early on. While token defences will be placed along the river lines further south to slow the German advance towards Kursk etc. A few cavalry units will be sent south if the Germans decide to push here, with job of disrupting their supply lines.
The job of this sector is to slowly create increasing lines of defense and slow down the infantry advance, with the hope of maintaining lines in front of Moscow come winter, providing us with a salient with which to counter-attack during the blizzard. THis will provide us either a pocketing opportunity or disrupt their Moscow lines in the hope that we might recapture it before spring '42. To avoid this becoming an additional pocket, lines will be maintained close to Moscow, and the situation in the South will be monitored to ensure AGS cannot encircle this area. However, troop numbers will be relatively small and dispersed to key areas, to minimize the damage if the lines break. Some cavalry units will be maintained in this sector and they will look for opportunities to disrupt the German supply along their southern flank.
The 10th Army is also retreating back towards Moscow. Depending on the situation over the next two weeks it will either reinforce the Bryansk-Tula line and support Operation Jaws (winter salient in Moscow) or help bolster the defence of Moscow if German troops do not push strongly south.

Some additional questions;
I noticed there are some airborne units attached to the Southwestern Front pretty far north (1st Airborne Corps). I assume these are still owned by the Southwestern commander, but wanted to make sure.
Also, I need to know if any other front is looking to use rail over this turn. If you are, I can perform the factory evacuations at the end of the turn, so as not to impede your plans. Additionally, if anyone needs factories evacuated please provide a list of which ones, how many and how urgent the evacuation is. You can refer to Walloc's factory evacuation guide if you are unsure, i find it very useful as a general guide.
I'm still very much new to the game, so let me know if you have any concerns with my plans thus far.
