very close to having to set up a blocking postion in the deep south and pull the troops back to help (I just need a blocking force)

here is an attack in the north, with Guns attached, pretty good looking battle !

of course, I lost (had more Armor and Inf Brigs in there then I thought)

Status: offline 		as you can see, last week, his defence was a 23, now it is 16, so while the attack didn't win, it did work on the dug in status and troops

the result, a cake walk, but mass attacks, take time and burn up MP, so two weeks to move forward one hex

Status: offline 		I don't think we have showed much on air and movements

here is one way to move air between bases, click the air transfer button, then click on a airfield you want to move from, it will show what is on the base to the right, click on the units and it will get that highlight icon, then find the base you want to move to, and right click on that airfield, and the units will be moved

Status: offline 		another way is to pull units out of reserve, open the airfield and you will see a high lightable line, assign, click on that, and it will take you to the reserves and you can pick what units are there to be assigned to the field (movement pretty much eats all of there movement points for the turn)

Status: offline 		hassle in the south, some of my units have been pinned, so, it is either pull all the way back and leave them behind, or just shorten the line a bit and keep them in the group, so, slowing my flanks are getting driven back onto themselfs, but I think I can pull out this week, and set a new line (all the good places are gone, so it is just building lines for time)

Fascinating insights and titbits - I am especially pleased to see the division with no riflemen!   I hope this isn't a glitch, but reflects the fact that the SMG squads are about to go into the local villages to 'recruit' the green riflemen straight off the collective farm!   I also assume that this will show up in their combat efficiency and morale!

I don't have the same sense in this thread of it being a coherent AAR, such as Jon's and Lee's, more of a showcase of features.   This is great in itself but it is also a shame because your campaign seems just as exciting, and it shows us the Russians against an agressive AI.    Watching the attacks and conterattacks is more enjoyable if you can follow a 'story', as it were.  

Please take this as encouragement not criticism.   I would love to have a greater sense of the overall strategic issues and developments as well as the great details you are sharing with us.

Thanks
Stuart

Status: offline 		Thanks Stuart

no hassle, it wasn't suppost to be a AAR persay, more trying to answer questions or show things that I am not sure have been shown or explained yet

and doing it as sort of a simi AAR, I can show it in order, a lot of times, just a screenshot, doesn't really show what is going on in the long run

and yea, those Divs with out troops are in trouble, I am away from the main supply source, so is HARDer to get what I need, even worse, that is what the AI was going for, it cut my rail lines deep

so, that area, is drawing supply. but not getting everything they need

as the SU, my supply stat is worse then lousy

and I would say, 1/3 of the German army may be in worse shape then I am

Status: offline 		MUD

hate mud, I think the AI hates mud, everybody hates mud

got a new Front, so trying to slip it inbetween two of my over large fronts, and steal some of there Armies

(GE) Corps, Armies, Army Groups, Fronts have Command limits, so I am trying to get my commands with in there limits

ahh, week 17, and Mud hits

this is a shot of the main map, the AI is pulling back and trying to form a line, his deep troops may be in trouble, but it has cut a lot of rail lines, and put me into a world of hurt also

Status: offline 		I have broken out in the south, but with mud, I am at the end of my supply line, and can't do anything with the huge hole I was able to get, his new line is weak, but my troops are not too strong

having to start my Stalingrad off early, if he keeps his Armor there, I won't do much

I got the Transcuasca Front with 2 Armies in the south, the 44th and the 46th, with support from the Stalingrad Front (got trapped away from there main HQ) with the 56th

(everything that got trapped, got shifted, I don't have the Admin points to move the 56th to the closest Front)

which would help a little with the supply issues

so, pick off what I can, where I can, as I slowly push in the far north

Status: offline 		Doesn't seem credible that almost a quarter of a million men can come to grips with 10,000 and only a 1,000 men are lost on each side. Germans must be using Spartan tactics to slow Soviets advance or not all the Russians took part or they bungled the attack or possibly the Germans pulled back before the assault I guess?

It won't be fun playing the German after 1944 when any 'corner' hex can be assaulted from 3+ hexes.

Status: offline 		well, to be honest, I would say that was more a case of, it is time to get out of town, while you still can

which, it was also, a very strong hex, so, to win the battle, it needed massive numbers to be though at it, if it would of been a weaker attack, and if it had better support, it could of still of won

so taken out of content, it may look worse then it does

really, if I had thought i could take that hex, with 100,000 men or 50,000, I would of, I could of used the rest of the troops for the follow up attacks

Status: offline 		if you look at the shot above it, that hex has a Defence of 37, I had already made a large attack on it the week before, trying to wear it down

37 is a heck of a defence
