T02 Supply Net South:

I will note right now that the supply depot in Bucharest is at priority 0. I change that to priority 1. Bucharest is NOT a National Supply Source and will not draw any supplies set to 0.

T02 Air Phase:

This is easy as I am using the AI Air Assist. The AI will delete all existing air directives and create new ones based on my settings for the AOG stance and Following HQ along with taking into account my Air Doctrines.

So we can see that it has created Ground Support directives in each Luftflotte centered on specific armies. This is good as it keeps the distance flown in check. There is nothing so bad as to have an AOG based out of Talinin assigned to a Ground Support directive for AGN and having them fly down to Velikie Luki or beyond in support. The operational losses are prohibitive.

It has also created Recon directives and a Superiority directive. The Recon directives all flew sorties but the Superiority directive did not. Something for the Tech Support people to address when they have time.

After some discussions in the AAR I changed the Recon Air Doctrine to 100% Mission A/C.

T02 AGN Start:

The first thing I do during my Ground Phase is to address pockets. On turn 2 my first rule of thumb is mopping up pockets and enemy controlled hexes (you never know when an enemy unit is hiding in one of them) starting with the units the furthest from the front. You can see in this screenshot that all of the pockets formed in AGN on T01 have held. So now it is mop up time.

T02 AGN L Corps:

A quick and easy elimination of a pocket using only Hasty Attacks by the corps.

T02 AGN XXIII Corps:

This one did not turn out quite as well as one Soviet Rifle division refused to surrender and held. But notice that I have spread out the Corps so that it forms my new southern edge if I have to hold the pocket for next turn.

T02 AGN 101st RHG

This corps starts to work on the Kurland Peninsula while also cleaning up a pair of hexes on the way. To reduce pockets fastest take all of the dots within the pocket. This ensures there are no enemy depots and the pocket will reduce faster if there are no enemy depots, airfields, or units in the pocket.

T02 AGN XXXVIII Corps:

Another stubborn rifle division. The three routed Soviet units at Roselaini, on the other hand, quickly surrendered.

T02 AGN XXVI Corps:

Two divisions finish the sweep of the Kurland Peninsula freeing the other division to cross the Daugava near Riga. Note I did not advance it into the newly captured hexes so that it will regain some of its CPP at the end of my Ground Phase.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:26:51 PM)

T02 AGN II Corps:

It takes two divisions to push back or capture the Soviet units threatening the rail line from Kaunus to Vilnius. The third division moves to pin down the rifle division in Svendoneliai which is threatening the double rail from Vilnius to Daugavpils.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:27:16 PM)

T02 AGN XXVIII Corps:

One division takes out the stubborn rifle division near Radviliskis while the other units help tie down the Soviet Tank division and clean up some more of the pocket.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:27:42 PM)

T02 AGN I Corps:

This corps is now freed by the others to advance and clean up some loose enemy controlled hexes. Two of the three divisions are now across the Dauga River and all stopped in friendly controlled hexes so they could recover CPP.

T02 AGC Start:

One pocket was broken to the north. It was actually one I had marked as being dangerous so I feel a bit better about it. But it is a minor pocket (though large in size it has a rifle division and an NKVD Sec Regt) and it will be reformed into a pocket this turn.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:28:45 PM)

T02 AGC XXXXII Corps:

The units already broken down into regiments are used to discover the enemy locations and force some of them to surrender. The divisions are then used to help eliminate what they can and form the northwestern edge of the pocket for next turn.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:29:19 PM)

T02 AGC LIII Corps:

The corps gathers up the miscellaneous units that are available for combat and use them to reduce the southern tip of the pocket.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:29:51 PM)

T02 AGC VII Corps:

Several more Soviet divisions surrender and the southern portion of the pocket is beginning to form.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:30:18 PM)

T02 AGC IX Corps:

The corps extends the new southern edge of the pocket. It does indicate that a Soviet stack is located at the red circle that could threaten the double line rail so it will have to be taken care of.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:30:53 PM)

T02 AGC XIII Corps:

So this corps detects it and forces the rifle division to surrender.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:31:18 PM)

T02 AGC 102nd RHG:

Advances the regiments to find enemy and build something of a screen to help with holding the pocket for next turn.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:31:46 PM)

T02 AGC XXXXIII Corps:

The corps stretches the southern edge of the pocket for as far as it can trying to free up the motorized units capping the eastern edge as must as possible.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:32:13 PM)

T02 AGC VI Corps:

This corps is sealing the northwestern corner of the pocket along with forcing some of the Soviet units at the tip to surrender.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:32:38 PM)

T02 AGC XX Corps:

The corps tries to finish capping the northern edge but was not quite able to.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:33:01 PM)

T02 AGC V Corps:

This corps finishes off the threat at Svendoneliai and caps the northern edge of the Bialystok pocket. The Bialystok Pocket is almost secured except to the very east.



[image]local://upfiles/35705/32C50FF98B8F4D04ADFC288B7B98D6D1.jpg[/image]



carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:33:28 PM)

T02 AGC VIII Corps:

This corps could have finished the Bialystok Pocket but instead goes up to rout the NKVD Sec Regt and help form a pocket on the rifle division.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:34:42 PM)

T02 AGC XII Corps and the IDs attached to 2nd PG:

These units spread up the eastern edge of the corridor to form the outer wall of defense. The 1st CD also seals the eastern part of the Bialystok Pocket so the panzer units will be able to continue to advance.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:36:00 PM)

T02 AGS Start:

The northern pocket held but all of the rest were broken and fairly emptied. But I should still be able to pocket all of the units that escaped as the rail line was broken.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:37:05 PM)

T02 AGS XVII Corps:

The corps is not able to eliminate the tank corps but it is forming a pocket and helped to seal the western edge of the Pripyet Marshes.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:37:29 PM)

T02 AGS LI Corps:

Break all three divisions down into regiments to start to setup some new pockets. The problem in this area will be trying not to get my FBD held up too badly.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:38:23 PM)

T02 AGS 6th Army:

The 6th Army finishes pocketing the one rifle division while advancing to cover the northern flank of AGS.

carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:38:48 PM)

T02 AGS 103rd RHG:

One division's worth of regiments are used to recon into the unknown finding no remaining Soviets. The other division sets up to reform the pocket to its north.



[image]local://upfiles/35705/D032CFEFEC38445980AE888526A2AA03.jpg[/image]



carlkay58 -> RE: Another March to the East (5/18/2021 3:39:20 PM)

T02 AGS Hungarians:

I use the Hungarian troops to also recon the Soviet lines as my intel is very slim in this area.
