Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 11 (8/18/2020 8:14:38 PM)

Then in the Moscow sector Operation Typhoon started a month early with a Panzer breakthrough towards Moscow. The Soviet Army did very poorly, out of the 21 German attacks in the breakthrough area (17 Hasty and 4 Deliberate) there was only two Held by the Soviet Army. Stavka is not happy, the defenses in the area were not sufficient.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 11 (8/19/2020 11:30:35 AM)

Situation at the end of the turn west of Moscow.

Then all available units were placed in defensive positions west of Moscow to slow the German advance towards Moscow, the defense of Moscow in Stavka's highest priority.
