BrianG -> t53 Baku or bust (12/23/2019 12:04:29 AM)

SOUTH SOVIET ZONE: clear skis, hard ground conditions.

ATTACK!

I have a fully rested panzer army and many good high morale infantry divisions. We have high hopes.

Here we push straight out to start things off

Crimea

I finally bomb the port and get 38% damage. His AA here has been doing a good job shooting down my bombers.

BrianG -> t53 Baku or bust (12/23/2019 12:12:54 AM)

My intention was to fan left to the sea and trap those troops.

But then I saw chance to make a pocket on the right side near the Don.

This was a major over the Don river attack by the 30th infantry division, morale 93.

BrianG -> The pocket and mud (12/23/2019 12:17:37 AM)

I too launch a mud rescue attack to save the 25th mech.

It needed to be saved most and I had the most tank power near it.

At first, after bombing, I actually accidentally launched a relief attack on the hex above this. I think my finger slipped.

It was a close win but I had used up most mp;s.

I then moved in tanks and did this hasty, which worked. The beaten Russian tank corp must have been really raw recruits.

I think the 25th would have been defeated in next turn if not relieved here.

BrianG -> RE: The pocket and mud (12/23/2019 12:19:14 AM)

This attack in mud was solely to allow the rr to continue building north. It had been zoc locked.

BrianG -> t54 open long range view (12/31/2019 1:39:00 AM)

Russian fail to break into and relieve all 3 major pockets.

Bitburg has not retreated.

Massive number of unsupplied Russian units.

No pressure on lower advance into Caucasus, nor attempt to convert empty German hexes back to Russian.

BrianG -> RE: t54 action (1/3/2020 1:58:21 AM)

BrianG -> RE: t54 action (1/3/2020 1:59:15 AM)

North Moscow.

Getting closer to having the full river line as defense.

Heavy attack

BrianG -> t54 morale needs upgrade (1/3/2020 2:04:34 AM)

This unit had been doing garrison duty at Kaluga all winter. and b/c closer than 10 hexes to Germans, its morale never went up.

Finally I move them away to this city. I await the morale gain.

BrianG -> t54 south Moscow (1/3/2020 2:06:45 AM)

heavy Russian air defense. We are closer to air parity here than elsewhere.

But my intercepts in battles is still causing heavy Russians plane kills.

BrianG -> t54 south Moscow (1/3/2020 2:08:21 AM)

We are over the river

BrianG -> t54 the middle (1/3/2020 2:09:25 AM)

I sent in a few tank reinforcements which where positioned near Tula.

BrianG -> t54 the middle (1/3/2020 2:10:11 AM)

a few turns later the positions looked as such:

[image]local://upfiles/41373/CBAE608DED8541A9AA72D68F27B4E016.jpg[/image]



BrianG -> t54 the middle (1/3/2020 2:12:32 AM)

and hence gained is a new and improved pocket with tastier treats.

I think--- 7 cav corp, 3 tank corp and 2 shock armies.

BrianG -> t54 the south (1/3/2020 2:14:38 AM)

Final positions, I do most to eliminate surrounded troops.

Oh the Italians have arrived.
