carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/27/2021 6:34:41 PM)

I try and fit in a turn when I can. I hope for one or two more today and tomorrow.

T30 Soviet Attacks:

The Soviets did 68 Attacks last turn for 2 Routs, 45 Retreats, and 21 Holds. While the numbers are down, 2 out of 3 attacks gained ground. Kursk fell this turn with the two routs coming in that battles as two PG divisions had no retreat open.

T30 Supply Net North:

The supply net is good - better than I expected at this point. You can see that the Soviets did not attack north of Lake Ilmen but 9th Army is in retreat along its entire line. The attacks against 2 PA were mostly stopped but a few hexes were gained.

T30 Supply Net South:

Here the supply net is not as good but greatly improved over the past few turns. The Rumanians are still in trouble north of the Sea of Azov. The Soviets did heavy attacks against the 2nd and 6th Armies along with a good drive against the 11th Army to the south. Kursk has fallen but the Kharkov area seems to be holding well. The Soviets are driving hard towards the Dnepr River bend.

T30 Air Phase:

LW is still on vacation.

T30 Freight:

During T28 the shortage between Sup Need and Sup Rec was -14K, this turn it is less than -9K so we are slowly catching up as the troops receive more supplies than they used over the past two turns. This is very encouraging. Perhaps the worst is now over and the Axis armies can start to recover.

T30 AGN:

von Leeb was replaced last turn as AGN commander for failure to capture Leningrad. 16th and 9th Armies try to patch together a defensive line to slow down the Soviet advance. It is getting harder to hold on to Kalinin but that is a key position against Leningrad because it is the double rail supplying the area. With that cut the Leningrad Front will remain on low supplies. This may be what has stalled the Soviet drive in the Leningrad area.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/28/2021 1:12:36 AM)

T30 AGC:

The 2nd and 3rd PAs actually have good defenses in this area despite being limited to level 1 forts (because they are both Assault HQs). Guderian was replaced this turn because of his lack of offensive drive to capture Moscow during the freeze.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/28/2021 1:13:01 AM)

T30 AGS:

Kursk fell with two PG divisions routed and depleted. This will take a while for those divisions to be ready for combat again. 11th Army in front of the Dnepr River bend is the new hotspot and worry. Some reinforcements are in the area as a few new German infantry divisions and the Rumanian Mountain Corps are on their way to help out. The Rumanian high command seems to be less enthusiastic about the war now but they are still willing to fight.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/28/2021 1:13:25 AM)

T30 Soviet Garrison:

A quick glance at the contents of the Soviet Garrison. It is now at 108% and I am sending a few more odds and ends its way over the next few turns.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/28/2021 1:13:52 AM)

T30 Rail Net North:

The rail net is pretty complete in the Baltic and Leningrad areas. The rails heading to Moscow are fairly complete now too. There is much to repair in the AGC rear however.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/28/2021 1:14:34 AM)

T30 Rail Net South:

The rail links between the central double line and Rumania are getting done fairly quickly. You can see the progress from Nikolaev to the Crimea being done by a single RAD Labor unit. A slow process but the best that can be done without committing an FBD unit to it. The Dnepr River bend cities are almost tied into everything now too which has helped the 11th Army supply line.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/28/2021 1:14:59 AM)

T30 OOB:

The Soviets are now at 4.6M men. The bad weather really slowed down their losses and allowed them to recover strength. I will have some hard work in my 42 offensive to try and whittle them back down again.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/28/2021 1:15:25 AM)

T30 Ground Losses:

The Soviets have lost 4M men so far while the Axis have lost 1M. It is definitely a war of attrition and the Soviets appear to be winning it!

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/28/2021 1:17:37 AM)

T30 Air Losses:

Here the losses are better than the ground. The Soviets have lost 14K while the Axis have lost only 4K. The air to air combat losses are better than 4:1 in the Axis favor. But this too is a war of attrition.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/28/2021 1:17:58 AM)

T30 Production:

The manpower pools are looking good for all of the Axis and you can see that the Axis Generic (HIWI) pool is starting to be used. The truck situation is not great but not that bad either. The 117K in repair should start to lower in the next few months which are badly needed for the summer 42 offensive.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/28/2021 1:18:20 AM)

T30 VPs:

I am down to 576 VPs which is enough to pass the 1-Oct-42 Sudden Loss check. This is down 18 VPs from my High Water Mark and will have to be recovered this year to keep the initiative. I need 174 VPs this coming year for victory. This is possible and the hope is there.

Nice. Switching Leaders for Roleplay or is there a strategy behind it?



carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/28/2021 12:48:35 PM)

They were fired in the Events Log, I just came up with some rationale for the firing.



carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/29/2021 12:08:59 AM)

T31 Soviet Attacks:

96 Soviet attacks which resulted in 2 Routs, 29 Retreats, and 65 Holds. So this turn sees two out of three attacks result in a hold. Much better than last turn.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/29/2021 12:09:23 AM)

T31 Supply Net North:

A fairly good supply net is now in place. The Soviets are going all out in attacking Kalinin to free up the double rail to Leningrad. It is beginning to have a long thin line of hexes keeping Kalinin from isolation. I am not sure how much longer it will be able to hold out.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/29/2021 12:09:52 AM)

T31 Supply Net South:

Here I need some more supporting rail lines to be done. The Soviets have continued their offensive drive around Kursk and towards the Dnepr River bend. The Dnepr River bend is an area which should have had some good forts by now if I had planned properly but elsewhere in the south there is just no good terrain for defense.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/29/2021 12:10:31 AM)

T31 Air Phase:

Still no LW.

T31 Freight:

The deficit is now down to only 7K this turn. Things are slowly improving. Now if I can just stop the Soviet steamrollers.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/29/2021 12:11:07 AM)

T31 AGN:

Try and paste something together to continue holding Kalinin. It is worth risking a division or two to hold it as long as possible. Not only is it cutting the double rail line from Moscow to the Leningrad area but it is also absorbing a lot of Soviet attention. Over 20% of the Soviet attacks last turn was in this area.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/29/2021 12:11:29 AM)

T31 AGC:

This is definitely a 'bend don't break' defense for AGC. The only real problems for the AG is the southern flank of 2nd Army where it ties in with the northern flank of AGS.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/29/2021 12:11:53 AM)

T31 AGS:

I am forced to keep falling back from Kursk but the defense of Kharkov seems to be holding on well. The Dnepr River bend is under threat but more reinforcements are streaming that way and hopefully they will be able to hold.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/29/2021 12:12:16 AM)

T31 Soviet Garrison:

With the addition of a Stug BN and a Security Division the garrison is now up to 112%.

T32 Soviet Attacks:

83 Soviet attacks resulting in 1 Surrender (an isolated Rumanian Cavalry Brigade), 23 Retreats, and 59 Holds. The Soviets seem to be running out of steam as 75% are now holds.

carlkay58 -> RE: Heading East into the Soviet Union (4/29/2021 6:47:32 PM)

T32 Supply Net North:

The supply net is pretty good. The Soviets continue to not attack north of Lake Ilmen. Unfortunately 9th Army is still being beat up on but Kalinin continues to hold up. The main problem area for AGC is the 2nd Army which just got pushed back pretty bad.
