Turn 81 January 3rd, 1943 It's 1943. The soviet offensive has been going on for two months. Let's take a look about the losses between turns 72 and 81. Axis losses: men 226,000 guns 4,400 AFV 1,300 planes 750 Soviet losses: men 734,000 guns 12,600 AFV 5,500 planes 3,300 [image]local://upfiles/53085/E561A9B1D30B469C85DA8E5170B17FB1.jpg[/image]

What exactly do you think of your position in the war right now? I'm about to begin my 1942 campaign into the south and I'm looking at yours as one scenario that might happen to me myself.

quote: What exactly do you think of your position in the war right now? We are not losing. Last summer was hard for the Soviets. They lost a lot of manpower. Soviet on map forces are only 4,5 million men. We have a total air superiority. We have not achieved a sudden victory. It was very close in October Check Date. Stalingrad fell a week too late. Right now, the Soviet offensive is going on and we have had to give some ground. However, it is like last winter. They assault and take a little ground. But it will not change the big picture. We are slowly strangling the Soviet juggernaut to death. In the next summer we are going to be stronger than ever. Our next chance for sudden victory is April 1st. We have now 723 VPs. We would need Voronezh, Stalingrad and Makhachkala to reach 775 VP. It is not likely. The last chance for sudden victory is July 1st. Makhachkala and Baku are worth of 80 VP. If we can’t capture Baku by July, then the war goes on to 1945. I'm sure we are going to take Baku in 1943. I can’t see how the Soviets could recover and reach Berlin by 1945.

The Soviets need to match your HWM by December 1944 as: "If on 31 December 1944 the Soviets fail to have matched the Axis high water mark score and the Western allies control no German territory, this is an Axis Major Victory" The other thing in your favour is the initiative shift can only happen if your current VP is at least 10% below the HWM (or on 2 July). So you've around 30 spare against this which may give you a shot at the 1 July test if you can manage a strong spring counter-attack?

But the initiative automatically switches to the Soviets on 1-Jul-43 regardless of VPs does it not?

You're really progressing much better than I anticipated. Well done! Would you be willing to upload the latest save? I'd be really interested to see how you set up your army, your rails etc. Would help me out a lot, as I'm trying to take in as much information as possible!

Jukipo -> RE: 1942 - The year of victory? (SOV AI) (6/14/2021 2:54:21 PM)
Here is the save at the beginning of turn 89.

Looking good for Baku before July 1st with all of those mobile units in Daghestan. Should be able to start pulling out infantry from the Caucuses to shore up the Don flank once you capture the remaining Black Sea ports. Soviets in a world of hurt without Baku oil production even if the game goes beyond July 1st. Looking good.
