Turn 4

I have in the Far East 164. I also exceeded all the other requirements for garrison but was still hit negative event. Maybe the status calculation happened after the calculation for the requirement? Loki HELP! Or am I missing something???

1st battle up north. I left this hex with a notional 22 defense at the end of last turn that was attacked. Let look at the result.

On the first battle I really wanted to change Sobennikov out of 8th Army. Doesn't help his HQ is under TOE either on the rolls. I have a new full ToE HQ on the way but 8th Army HQ had to make do in the interim. Instead I made an Air Commander change for the Northwest Air Army.

2nd Battle results are to be expected here. Full out deliberate attack, my inf division had moved and fatigued after flipping some hexes, My HQ ToE is way under strength thus the Horrid combat roll. The infantry division is disintegrated. Nice attack!

Turn 4

3rd Battle Hex east of Pskov

Manstein himself Hasty attacks Vatutin's 112 Rifle division and forces a retreat. I try and move as little as possible during my turn to build CPP & keep fatigue down. All in all I am happy on this battle even though I am using direct Army chain of command instead of an intermediate Corps HQ. Vatutions' HQ is close to full strength but I still had another horrid roll :( Must be some penalty for Soviets too the first turns OR I just sux at rolls for the Soviets ;-) Will talk about air cover in the next snapshot.

3rd battle Air Results

I had mentioned in another AAR post about how many fighters to bombers you want to have. Here you can see I kept that ratio & was able to protect my bombers from harm. Yes, I lost a crap load of fighters but they did their job well. The figthers also shot down 4 BF-109s. I am happy so far with this result too with my Fighters gaining 2 experience on that fight. If I can bomb and not have a loss in bombers I am happy.

*** I also had 3 Air Superiority missions set up but the battle took place outside of the battle zone. In those AS directives I have Mig's flying high, Yaks flying Medium, and Lagg's flying low level AS missions.

**** My Ground Support missions are set up to have a minimum of 4 Fighter squadrons escorts to 1 bomber squadron. I then assign each Army that GS. Thus the Leningrad front has three GS missions for each of the 3 Front line HQ's. Thats a lot of Fighters ;-) (This does not include the 3 AS missions being flown either. I will increase the AS to 6 in this area soon enough(if I get enough fighters that is))

Pskov Supply drops don't go uncontested. My new appointed Air commander shows he likes to fight. With 3 supply drops to Pskov Falakeev intercepts all three ;-) I will take easy wins for experience.

City was taken last turn. I just didn't have the units to safely contest the area to my standards.

Turn 4

Smolensk

I also gave up Smolensk without a fight last turn. I am not a believer of putting up to 10 Division in Smolensk for a City Fort this early. I gave up the City and spared the divisions for placement elsewhere. I can think of better places to put City forts but this early in the game I am not going to let go of good divisions for a possible no gain or 1 or 2 turn delay at a cost of up to 10 divisions. I will choose a better place & time.

Turn 4 Beginning of Turn

Center

Gomel area given up without a fight. Pretty much in my AAR with Bobo this is where I am as a German in the Gomel area with the Soviets going to have a loss of 11 divisions. I saved those divisions for later as a comparison. I can't keep the retreat up forever & I am playing with fire. But I do have a line I start to fight at & I know the German situation for supply. So see if I can calculate this correctly. Otherwise I am going to have a big fat LOSS in this game.

Kirovograd

Advance in the South. Pretty much where I am at in my Bobo game without loss of Divisions. Am I right to do it this way? Probably not because of how fast railheads advance now along with super depot. But lets play it out.

Turn 4

Odessa

Odessa given up to save the Divisions for another day. A German will blockade the port & force the City Fort Garrison to surrender in a couple of turns at most. The Soviets may gain a turn or two at the cost of up to 10 Divisions. I am not going to play that game. The divisions are saved, refitted and will be used elsewhere while the Germans run to catch up.

Manpower

Not bad since my Inf divisions are pretty much filled up. Granted my Armor & Mech probably never will be anywhere close to the ToE I want them. But I am controlling those with minimum or no ToE advancement. Artillery is still going to stay at Stavka with almost all at 50%. Some are set to 100% Stavka and handed out to prime Armies for combat.
