The forecast is for mud in the north soviet zone.

BrianG -> RE: end 52 ground kia (3/6/2021 2:00:52 PM)

Ground kia report.

SO the war returned full throttle next week.

He is 2 months early into the Caucasus, and has massive mobile Army near Stalingrad which can pick and choose any direction.

I will continue to retreat and try and buy time until my Army is strong enough to make a stand somewhere.

i have lost was too many units.

Its all starts next turn so stay tuned!

BrianG -> 53 sunny skies 1942 style (3/10/2021 12:00:54 AM)

Open around Moscow.

German mech reinforcements have arrived south of Moscow.

BrianG -> 53 sunny skies 1942 style (3/10/2021 12:03:45 AM)

Stalingrad area open.

German pincer almost close the trap. Still it is very far for a complete evac.

They came very close to displacing Stavka Hq.

I am in trouble. Many more units will be lost.

BrianG -> RE: 53 sunny skies 1942 style (3/10/2021 12:06:07 AM)

One would think that with all the German armor here, that the Caucasus defense would be somewhat easier than expected.



BrianG -> 53 sunny skies Russian moves (3/10/2021 12:07:10 AM)

Konev attack north of Moscow.

I've retaken Klin!

1st Guard is still trying south of Moscow

BrianG -> RE: 53 sunny skies Russian moves (3/10/2021 12:10:17 AM)

I start the thought process.

First of many thought here. One was that i wished the retreat had gone into a better hex than the one chosen.

BrianG -> RE: 53 sunny skies Russian moves (3/10/2021 12:11:40 AM)

Suicide Russian tank corp spotted.

Seeing if I can pinch off the northern bunch.

at this moment some of my tank corp still had good mp's.

BrianG -> RE: 53 sunny skies Russian moves (3/10/2021 12:14:53 AM)

As for the southern pincer i set up this rout lineup

BrianG -> RE: 53 sunny skies Russian moves (3/10/2021 12:15:46 AM)

and the rout result

[image]local://upfiles/41373/F9654A037FDC4D0A98B66CC89319383F.jpg[/image]



BrianG -> RE: 53 sunny skies Russian moves (3/10/2021 12:18:26 AM)

Down south we go.

Attack on lead Rumanian.

My plan is to hold the Baku gap, hold the mountain passes, and hold for time.

I have a few troops hanging out in the Crimea. This is clearly not smart or needed. but it does present opportunity if my hold strategy somehow works.

BrianG -> RE: 53 sunny skies Russian moves (3/10/2021 12:21:49 AM)

Up north, the lone remaining panzer formation helps the Germans win this weeks big locale battle.

Trying to tidy up the north pocket

BrianG -> RE: 53 sunny skies Russian moves (3/10/2021 1:04:45 AM)

More pocket

was hoping the retreat here had gone west instead of east

[image]local://upfiles/41373/459A7C7C9D1F4D929FE02E9B795F6580.jpg[/image]



BrianG -> RE: 53 sunny skies Russian moves (3/10/2021 1:15:51 AM)

Thus the remaining big attack faces 2 German divisions instead of one.

Here is the lineup

BrianG -> RE: 53 sunny skies Russian moves (3/10/2021 1:17:21 AM)

The rout routs into the other cut off area.

BrianG -> RE: 53 sunny skies kia (3/10/2021 1:20:32 AM)

Finish middle.

So i did my best on the north pincer and squeezed the south pincer as best as it could be squeezed.

8 divisions cut off.

BrianG -> 53 sunny skies final (3/10/2021 1:23:03 AM)

The German mech reinforcement had put a damper on my southern pincer.

BrianG -> RE: 53 sunny skies final (3/10/2021 1:24:22 AM)

North final

Ive blunted the Finish cut off attempt.

One trap averted

BrianG -> RE: 53 sunny skies final (3/10/2021 1:27:24 AM)

East of Stalingrad i cut off German roaming infantry.

I know where his tank ss are atm and this area is infantry standoff area. my concern is when train line gets cut to Baku.

At that point supply up the swamp/Volga RR line will become very useless.

BrianG -> RE: 53 sunny skies final (3/10/2021 1:28:38 AM)

SOUTH FINAL

I blunt German mountain units sneak attack across the high mountains.

[image]local://upfiles/41373/C7DA60F90F594F99A412B604D24AB9B2.jpg[/image]



BrianG -> 54 open (3/11/2021 1:47:31 AM)

So the Germans connect the pincers.

A good 1 1/2 weak army units are trapped.

No chance of rescue

BrianG -> RE: 54 open Down south (3/11/2021 1:49:05 AM)
