Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 37 (9/19/2020 12:32:34 AM)

The last two turns of blizzard were Turn 36 and 37. These two turns were used by the Soviet Army to prepare for the coming snow turns.

The Axis player on turn 37 sent a Panzer Corps towards the Crimea - a general retreat was started by the Red Army in the Crimea sector to prevent units from being encircled next turn, which is a snow turn.

chaos45 -> RE: Soviet Turn 37 (9/19/2020 2:16:04 PM)

At almost 6M men at the Start of 1942 you are in a super strong position, you should be back on the offensive probably at the end of 1942 provided you dont suffer any massive set backs over the summer of 1942. Also german losses look high...so going to be rough for the Axis going forward.



redrum68 -> RE: Soviet Turn 37 (9/19/2020 4:06:06 PM)

Agree. Very nice blizzard offensive and OOB looks great.



Grognard1812 -> RE: Soviet Turn 37 (9/19/2020 7:48:55 PM)

My number one goal in the summer of 1942 is to avoid any large pockets, and if I don't lose to my opponent in 1942 then start the long road to Berlin in 1943.
