I think the Fins redeployed as my advance here finally got German attention

BrianG -> turn 40 The pain begins (1/28/2021 10:24:12 PM)

Here is the first week of the German 2 week snow offensive. All fueled up

Pre beta change

I am unaware and concerned why my 40th Army would surrender when it started the turn in supply.


It was a bad omen.

BrianG -> RE: turn 40 The pain begins (1/28/2021 10:26:27 PM)

Here is some more Russian south Moscow pressure

BrianG -> RE: turn 40 The pain begins (1/28/2021 10:27:42 PM)

North Moscow

I try to attack the WALL

Very heavy Russian casualties in the loss

BrianG -> RE: turn 40 The pain begins (1/28/2021 10:29:48 PM)

And i started noticing that even in losses the entire defensive forts get bashed down to zero.

It just seemed very unrealistic that in a loss, the forts would all get destroyed.

This fort clear out in losses was noticed in other battles as well.

BrianG -> RE: turn 40 air kia (1/28/2021 10:33:21 PM)

BrianG -> turn 40 final position (1/28/2021 10:38:03 PM)

SOUTH final

In what can only be described as a horror of a turn, here is my dilemma in the clear.

1 more snow but I have no line on the lower Don, and I just lost another Army of troops. And nothing in the way of another German leap.

BAD situation.

Not fun. The units hugging the line are basically shells.

BrianG -> RE: turn 40 final position (1/28/2021 10:40:05 PM)

BrianG -> turn 40 Lennigrad (1/28/2021 10:42:11 PM)

Leningrad action.


Ive cut supply to 4 German divisions. The German line was left vacant. Very cocky.

He will have to respond and fix the line.

BrianG -> RE: 41 open last snow (1/31/2021 1:41:25 PM)

BrianG -> 41 last snow russian attacks (1/31/2021 1:45:32 PM)

This hex is unmovable. It has a force field of some type, unknown.

No forts and it won't budge!

BrianG -> RE: 41 last snow russian attacks (1/31/2021 1:47:11 PM)

more examples of forts decaying to zero even where the defense wins.

Makes no sense.

BrianG -> RE: 41 last snow russian attacks (1/31/2021 1:51:41 PM)

The big one.

A game changing attack must succeed and thrown the invaders back over the frozen Don.

Here is the attack lineup.

I think I shortchanged my attacking strength. Stress of battle.

It looks like i could have added in the Cav and Infantry just to the right of the action. Its possible the inf was an unready unit.

BrianG -> 41 final positions (1/31/2021 1:59:07 PM)

south

FM Bernard Montgomery would be very unsatisfied with this highly untidy defense alignment.

This is what one calls a disaster. And it happened in March 42.

Supply distance to German 36th Motorized (the spear top) is shown. The Mp's will be very long when mud hits turn 42.
