Grognard1812 -> RE: Soviet Turn 136 (6/28/2021 2:13:55 AM)
But in early 1944 the initiative rests with the Soviet Army and the German offensive is stopped with the leading Panzer Divisions being surrounded and routed. [image]local://upfiles/56401/6EDE5A9CD0E04BD293CCA77866096549.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 136 (6/28/2021 2:16:32 AM)
The drive westward continues with the Red Army being only 70 miles from Kiev and 10 miles for Cherkassy, will the German Army continue retreating or make a defensive stand along the Dnepr? [image]local://upfiles/56401/33BFDFEDE17B4AC0BB963C93A83D02DE.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 137 (6/29/2021 2:34:59 PM)
Cherkassy was captured this turn as the Soviet forces in the area started to cross over to the western bank of the Dnepr. Will the German Army make a defensive stand at the Dnepr river and risk a repeat of the historical Korsun pocket? [image]local://upfiles/56401/FEE71451AE304A6BA9E445488AD7E88F.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 137 (6/29/2021 2:38:19 PM)

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 138 (7/1/2021 4:27:09 PM)
Typical supply / fuel / ammunition levels at the beginning of the turn for a Tank Corp - not enough supplies seem to be arriving at forward units - I think the main reason is a lack of railyard factories (mainly due to the loss of Moscow and Leningrad) to transport the supplies and resources.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 138 (7/1/2021 4:38:56 PM)
Two hexes of Moscow are recaptured by the Soviet Army, the recapture of essential railyard factories should help the supply situation. [image]local://upfiles/56401/90F2A0F714B846628B2C9C77CAAD0020.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 138 (7/1/2021 4:47:56 PM)
Just southeast of Cherkassy, a historical recreation of a pocket similar to the Korsun pocket is attempted by the Soviet Army, 7 German Divisions, 1 Brigade and 1 Regiment are encircled in the pocket. Quite a few German mechanized units are still operational outside the pocket and a German counterattack to open the pocket is expected next turn by Stavka.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 139 (7/2/2021 3:44:32 PM)
Turn 139, Snow in the North Soviet Zone and Blizzard in the Central and South Soviet Zones. The recapture of 2 Moscow city hexes last turn resulted in a 15% increase in the railyard factories, from 209 to 245 - which should help the supply situation of the Soviet Army once the railyards are repaired.

Using all available mechanized reserves in the area the German Army counterattacks and successfully opens the pocket where 9 German units were surrounded near Korsun/Cherkassy routing 3 Soviet Tank Corps in the counterattack. The 9 surrounded German units then attempt to escape westward to the safety of the German frontlines. [image]local://upfiles/56401/7BCB9621901F41618541170A0C39DF04.jpg[/image]

Southeast of Korsun/Cherkassy 2 Panzer Divisions and 1 German Infantry Division were unable to escape the pocket. Further Soviet Forces were sent to the area and their chances of escaping the pocket are dismal. [image]local://upfiles/56401/2B97D12FDA134EF0A678EEA225646560.jpg[/image]
