Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 16 (8/28/2020 5:23:41 PM)

End of turn in the South, I think Rostov is unlikely to be captured in 1941.

The defenses guarding the entrance into the Crimea - Sevastopol will not be captured, at least not in 1941.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 17 (8/29/2020 9:57:38 PM)

The summer campaign season (the first 17 turns of clear weather) has ended. Total ground loses at the end of turn 17.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 17 (8/29/2020 10:02:15 PM)

At the end of turn 17, the Soviet Army was 4.7 million. I think the Red Army is in a good position for a successful blizzard campaign which starts in 8 turns.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 17 (8/29/2020 10:05:22 PM)

Total destroyed units after completing 17 turns of the game.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 17 (8/29/2020 10:09:37 PM)

And finally total air losses after 17 turns. Of note, we had a house rule that no airbase bombings were allowed after the first turn of the game. I think it worked out well.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 18-21 (8/30/2020 5:20:44 PM)

Soviet turns 18 to 21 were the 4 mud turns.

On turn 18 Army Group Center encircled 6 Soviet divisions Southeast of Tula.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 18-21 (8/30/2020 5:30:16 PM)

One of the settings for this game included random weather, but the first 17 turns of the game had been clear without a single mud turn in any weather zone. On turn 18, all the weather zones were mud except for the Central Soviet Zone which was snow, but Army Group South did not launch any major attacks.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 18-21 (8/30/2020 5:35:39 PM)

On turn 20 the 6 isolated Soviet units were attacked and surrendered.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 22 (9/3/2020 11:44:22 PM)

Odd random weather for the first turn of snow after 4 turns of mud. Blizzard (with no 1941-1942 winter effects) in the Central Zone, Snow in the North and mud in the South. It will be a difficult winter for the Axis !!!

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 22 (9/3/2020 11:49:37 PM)

End of turn 22 West of Rostov - a cavalry screen was sent forward to flip enemy ZOCs - as there are still two turns of snow before blizzard season starts there is no point in taking chances and advancing this turn to follow the retreating Axis.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 22 (9/3/2020 11:53:40 PM)

Situation end of turn near Voroshilovgrad, should have noticed those panzers massing just northwest of Voroshilovgrad - the blizzard dulled my awareness of a dangerous situation developing!!

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 22 (9/3/2020 11:56:33 PM)

The situation end of turn near Moscow - the defenses around Moscow should be sufficient to blunt an expected offensive from Army Group Center during the following 2 snow turns.
