Stalino open with recon.

Mp's are horrible. No way I can take Rostov and get the south army hq split.

BrianG -> RE: first snow recon done (11/22/2018 1:07:57 PM)

We were prepared to make a second stronger attack.

Now I own the Crimea.

My 41' highwater mark.

I did not know that German rr crews could just take the week off willy nilly.

My command is weak!

xhoel -> RE: first snow recon done (11/22/2018 1:27:19 PM)

Good job on securing the Crimea, you can send those units to pluck gaps in the front now. Try to put your Sec Army HQs in key railnodes, Kharkov would be a good example. Basically everything that has more than 2 raillines going out. And then just pray that the AI doesn't do something stupid.



BrianG -> RE: first snow recon done (11/22/2018 8:48:05 PM)

So here is the big snow strategy

This highlighted unit 16-48 20th armor, if unhindered, could reach the hex just SW of Tikvin.

5 hexes left, 3 hexes north west (past the rough hex), and then 4 hexes north east.


That is the plan.

All armor will be redirected west to open a corridor.

I am working on both sides of the river to clear lanes..

Here was a horrible hasty attack result

BrianG -> RE: first snow recon done (12/1/2018 12:42:36 PM)

Better was this directional attack against a strong point

BrianG -> RE: first snow recon done (12/1/2018 12:44:51 PM)

Key hasty attack lineup. I did not want to use mp's to surround and rout.

I figured I could keep attacking and move this hex north of my penetration and out of the way

"it was a massacre, they came out of nowhere and swarmed around and past us"

BrianG -> RE: first snow recon done (12/1/2018 12:48:00 PM)

Cav shattered. One more hex to view to see if we can cut zoc into Tivken.

The 16-48 armor is revved up and waiting for the go go go signal

BrianG -> first snow end of the drive (12/1/2018 12:51:14 PM)

[:@]Stopped by measly antitank unit, which probably has a win loss record of 0-20[:@].

BrianG -> first snow north final epilogue (12/1/2018 12:54:00 PM)

final north.

My attack would have failed even with this antitank unit gone. A Russian cav was unspotted in swamp on way to Tivkin.

Alas it was a good try chaps.

I am bringing up tank reserves from other areas to keep the push on towards the lake.

BrianG -> RE: tula (12/1/2018 12:58:10 PM)

All units very far from rr supply

ugly air results

chaos45 -> RE: end 22 OOB (12/1/2018 3:12:00 PM)

kind of surprised you don't have some of those Romanians building forts by stalino for winter in the south.

In the north, I really think you overreached...you have a nice pocket for sure by the lake if you went west instead of trying to drive north. Should have easily encircled like 10-12 Soviet formations if done right and given u a chunk of land in good terrain not exposing your flanks just prior to blizzard.

Just following orders:)

The dreams remain big: We attack not knowing how bad the blizzard will be.



BrianG -> 23 (12/5/2018 10:45:05 PM)

Russian moves up north. notice again rr cut.

BrianG -> RE: 23 (12/5/2018 10:48:03 PM)

I was unable to occupy this rough hex last turn. Now it has to be attacked again

BrianG -> RE: 23 (12/5/2018 10:49:17 PM)

Another late cav shatter. trying to widen the gap

BrianG -> RE: 23 (12/5/2018 10:51:10 PM)

massive German hasty tank attack. Mp's needed to be saved for other battles

[image]local://upfiles/41373/84C842D6EAC343138211F42B760C7198.jpg[/image]



BrianG -> RE: 23 (12/5/2018 10:56:57 PM)

my last move north.

Now it became my last move as I then did airsupply to the forward units,
and unbeknownst to me I found out that airsupply now saps away mp's of the receiving units (btw I disagree with this new rule although understand its intent).
Thus I was not able to move the ss unit one more hex. The lead unit will be easily cut off next turn.

live and learn.

BrianG -> RE: 23 (12/5/2018 11:01:08 PM)

final north position. Notice gap in forward thrust.

On good note I am one hex away from cutting rr to Leningrad. Bad news only one more turn of snow.

Reports poor in of troops starting to freeze to death.
