After the next couple of impulses, Heeresgruppe Nord reports continuing skirmishes with retreating Soviet elements: [image]local://upfiles/38590/18A7D8D482F14D16938073C717A21464.gif[/image]

The Luftwaffe reports that the Soviets keep on throwing their bombers into action. This causes the loss of planes and pilots on the Soviet side, without Axis losses. However, the oil fields at Ploesti gets bombed (one oil point lost). Heeresgruppe Süd continues the advance, but meets stiff resistance around Kiev: [image]local://upfiles/38590/EA8D0D67A5EF47F7908CA7D3B83A3D44.gif[/image]

The "Reichswetterdienst" reports rain over Russia. During a combined impulse, the Kriegsmarine succesfully attacks the CW convoys in the FarOes Gap, sinking 5 CP and aborting 1. Kiev falls and only one hex needs to be taken by the Wehrmacht to make sure that 3 more resources reach the German factories...

The weather becomes worst. The Kriegsmarine, coping with storms, can't find any more CW convoys in the next combined impulse: [image]local://upfiles/38590/FD2FF1AD743D403BB497CF1564547A9F.gif[/image]

Great AAR! A Netplay AAR is fun to read because it flows so nicely. (PBEMs are fun too, but there's more back-and-forth about die rolls, what to include, etc.) Please keep posting!

The German high command, wanting to keep pressure on the Soviet forces, decide to blow the offensive chit to make sure the Luftwaffe keeps up with the frontlines. But than: a setback at Smolensk: a 5 was rolled, resulting in the disorganisation of the German attackers but even worse: the city wasn't taken. And that when the defenders were disorganised...

In the south, groundstrikes were made, however, apart from Kharkov the results were below par. All other hexes attacked left one defender organized. Also, land combats seem to result in the Soviet forces escaping destruction. The Shattered result without losses seems to be the magic outcome of the die rolls...

Heeresgruppe Süd attacks Kharkov. Another bad roll (a 5 on a +16 attack) results in half of the army attacking the city getting disorganised. Again, Soviet losses are avoided. Guderian is forced to reorganise the army to make sure the momentum doesn't get lost for next impulse. [image]local://upfiles/38590/7030B593D85044B896CDEF8101DA2664.gif[/image]

After the next couple of impulses, turn ends (30% chance). But not without another Axis defeat. A +9 attack at the Rostov ends in another 5... Hex not taken and a MECH gets lost (because the Soviets choose the Blitzkrieg table). Let's say that the OKW isn't pleased with how events took place this summer...
