Germans press onto the Oka. They do not attempt crossing

Meanwhile they attack south from the bulge hoping I assume to connect to the Oka.

MAJOR WORRY as oka d line atm is insufficient to stop a linkage.

BrianG -> RE: 56 (7/11/2018 11:29:34 PM)

I push on the north flank of the bulge

BrianG -> RE: 56 (7/11/2018 11:30:26 PM)

Final Moscow. I move in the better Guards cav corp into the Oka river D line. I think it should stop from a massive breakthru to the bulge.

I will deal with the crossing if it is attempted. If its a good crossing I will do massive salient evacuation.

BrianG -> RE: 56 (7/11/2018 11:36:13 PM)

Far north open.

I have been sneaking 3 units all the way to the north border as the corridor was free of Fin zoc.

Sensing Axis reinforcements, i had just retreated them, thus explaing the odd, who owns what, shade pattern.

It seems this was a German cut off attempt. That failed. I do not belive he thought it was a large incursion.

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 12:02:22 AM)

MOSCOW IS SAVED!!!

German forces only cross Oka at bottom loop. I continue to build Guard inf corp in the area north of Oka.

All other tanks head east and surround 3 Cav corp.

My entire south flank is now threatened If the German panzer ball turns south past Tambov and onto Rostov
It would force complete withdraw from Stalino up to Big V

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 12:03:32 AM)

air results under new beta.

Many very poor morale units plus experience also walloped.

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 12:49:59 AM)

a small push by Germans ( to draw off Russian troops?) .

a German unit will get cut off

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 12:50:37 AM)

Tambov industry will be evacuated.

If you look at map you see my worry about a German movement south just west of Tambov.

I have nothing in the way

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 12:52:29 AM)

Lineup for major 4 sided attack on the north bulge flank

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 12:54:28 AM)

3200 guns and the victory..

The question is now whose will win the race. Russians attacking south or Germans attacking trying to linkup

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 12:55:21 AM)

a very close loss on follow on attack

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 12:58:08 AM)

Since the German tanks headed east, I am now able to use the Oka defense line Guard cav units to attack the southern bulge face.

I should have enough mp to reverse direction and reman strong Oka line at the end of the turn.

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 12:59:50 AM)

I then sneak units just past the SS division west of Tambov and rescue my surrounded troops.

Nice retreat direction.

Now I study how I can cut of this German attack mass

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 1:01:43 AM)

cut off attempt begins

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 1:02:16 AM)

ss Mot division cut off

[image]local://upfiles/41373/A8C53D2CE38E483F92984B7DEE3E49C8.jpg[/image]



BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 1:03:20 AM)

Then routed. I figure it will give me 50 extra Km of space for the next turn if he goes south

[image]local://upfiles/41373/56E9E694212D4812BC996CCB5CA1FE4E.jpg[/image]



BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 1:05:24 AM)

The south cut off attempt fails.

Due to lack of follow on troops



BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 1:06:29 AM)

I then get desperate and try a northern cut off attempt.

Very nice retreat direction

[image]local://upfiles/41373/8F52AD3A9F0742BB98181BA8BD75F7D3.jpg[/image]



BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 1:10:35 AM)

Another rout. I want to control area south of Ryazam. the rr is open west to east thru this city. NOT CUT

[image]local://upfiles/41373/CF70E967112B4E0981E8AF8A1A0CE835.jpg[/image]



BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 1:14:27 AM)

I send in good Guard tank corp in order to cause the supply break.


Very risky as it will be slug fest to save them next turn. But cutting off all those German tanks is toooo juicy

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 1:15:20 AM)

BINGO

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 1:16:41 AM)

Feeling cocky

I launch another attack on southern bulge face.

[image]local://upfiles/41373/F5A7A50B0A9B45289CDC23734B30FBA6.jpg[/image]



BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 1:18:52 AM)

I then move 49Th army to Ryazan area. I fortify as best I can north of the german cut off units.

I don't think he can do any major damage except relieve his troops and head south to Tambov

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 1:20:15 AM)

Final Tula area. Oka line seems ok just south of Moscow.

BrianG -> RE: 57 (7/12/2018 1:20:45 AM)
