Hmm. I wonder why such a focus on Crimea? Maybe letting some of his forces recover from the blizzard so limited attacks?

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 42 to 46 (9/22/2020 5:15:42 PM)
Turns 42 to 46 were mainly mud turns - no offensive activities by the Axis, as they are resting and resupplying for the upcoming expected summer offensive.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 47 (9/22/2020 5:22:01 PM)
Turn 47, Clear weather in the Europe weather zone, and North Soviet Zone. Mud in the other 2 Soviet weather zones. No offensive activities by the Axis Armies this turn.

The Soviet Army now has over 6.7 million troops and the German Army over 3.3 million troops. [image]local://upfiles/56401/AF58132A5D024B20B7A99FA09A48CEF1.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 49 (9/22/2020 5:39:45 PM)
Turn 48 was another mud turn, no offensive activities by the Axis Armies. Turn 49 was mud in the North Soviet weather zone but clear in the other 3 weather zones. The Axis summer offensive has begun one month early, with a successful attack by the German Army in the Crimea, reducing the Soviet defensive perimeter around Sevastopol. Those massed pioneer and artillery attacks are very effective against high level fortifications. [image]local://upfiles/56401/08E142A60CF343F1AAFD929203F30CAC.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 49 (9/22/2020 5:51:51 PM)
Two powerful German Panzer forces supported by Infantry attack North and South of Kursk. The Northern force is comprised of 9 Panzer divisions and 4 motorized divisions. The Southern force is comprised of 7 Panzer divisions and 6 Motorized divisions. In total about 7 German Panzer Corps have been committed to this attack, the majority of the German armored force. The German units appear to have fully recovered from their loses of the previous winter Soviet counter-offensive. [image]local://upfiles/56401/BA1C6A073ABE433DB7934436B173DF91.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 49 (9/22/2020 5:55:07 PM)
The Soviet Army responds by counter-attacking, also inflicting heavy loses on the attacking Axis bombers. [image]local://upfiles/56401/DF0C6A3A20DE418A82E6377BC621EEBD.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 50 (9/25/2020 12:03:48 PM)
Mud in all the Soviet Weather Zones and Clear in the Europe Weather Zone. Beginning of Turn 50 in the Kursk area. Nothing slows down a German Panzer advance better than the Rasputitsa (muddy season), at least until the weather turns clear again.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 50 (9/25/2020 12:06:37 PM)
End of turn in the Crimea area, two Soviet divisions were forced to surrender this turn by German attacks around Sevastopol. [image]local://upfiles/56401/4A25F5F5650143FDA034D0F39CB9EC3C.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 51 (9/25/2020 6:18:52 PM)
Turn 51, Mud in the North and South Soviet weather zones and clear elsewhere. The German Panzer offensive continues in the Kursk area. It appears that the majority of the German Panzer and Motorized Divisions are here (over 8 Corps) as there is little offensive activity by the Axis anywhere else on the Eastern Front (except for the Crimea).

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 51 (9/25/2020 6:21:32 PM)
A large pocket was formed around Kursk by the Axis - 9 Soviet Divisions and 1 Soviet Brigade. [image]local://upfiles/56401/5DB162D215434377B1997008FCF515D7.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 51 (9/25/2020 6:23:52 PM)
End of turn in the Kursk sector, those encircled Soviet units are doomed. [image]local://upfiles/56401/82C85365488B4056A5F8C3E1D2A3401C.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 51 (9/25/2020 6:26:43 PM)
The German Infantry divisions continue attacking the hex next to Sevastopol with massed artillery and pioneers - no pity. [image]local://upfiles/56401/1ADC177D159F45F192AC18BDBD427AA7.jpg[/image]

End of turn - Evacuation of Kharkov - again... it is going to be a difficult summer for the Red Army in 1942. [image]local://upfiles/56401/924AC7EFAA5B4B7283659347979335B4.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 52 (9/27/2020 3:39:18 PM)
On turn 52, the unrelenting German Panzer advance continues, with another large pocket formed South West of Voronezh. In the previous pocket formed around Kursk, 8 Soviet units surrendered this turn. [image]local://upfiles/56401/C507202D60124EEA94055A7B3F016051.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 52 (9/27/2020 3:41:13 PM)
The Red Army counterattacks trying to open the pocket South West of Voronezh. [image]local://upfiles/56401/49EC2B2BDFC84F1491786F8BDDC4B503.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 52 (9/27/2020 3:43:16 PM)
The Soviet units in the pocket will avoid surrendering for at least one more turn. [image]local://upfiles/56401/29BAF11612D04631B2B286B4A2AE9C26.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 52 (9/27/2020 3:45:42 PM)
Three more Soviet divisions surrender next to Sevastopol. [image]local://upfiles/56401/5BB2CB034F7541DAAF6C3EB3011CA568.jpg[/image]

redrum68 -> RE: Soviet Turn 52 (9/27/2020 4:42:46 PM)
Breaking that pocket could prove costly. Looks like he could potentially pocket another chunk of units that were units to break it.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 52 (10/3/2020 7:13:38 AM)
Agreed, but I decided to make this sector of the Eastern Front a major focus for the Soviet Army, with the majority of reserves going to this sector. The intent is to delay the Axis advance as much as possible, at the risk of larger pockets.

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 52 (10/3/2020 7:15:59 AM)
End of turn West of Moscow, the defenses should hold during the summer of 1942 as there are no Panzer troops in the area. [image]local://upfiles/56401/FF6145D99C2C459B9FBC9033F5352E37.jpg[/image]

Grognard1812 -> Soviet Turn 52 (10/3/2020 7:17:23 AM)
End of turn in the Tula sector, relatively quiet. [image]local://upfiles/56401/68E369FF496046C18D7BBB1E5C321B61.jpg[/image]
