Here are the losses for turn 31

Status: offline 		It is questionable whether you can reach that new line; you have about two months left, which means an average of one hex gained, all across the line, per turn.  At minimum you want to recapture hexes that will be good to defend from, come spring.  Things feel good now, but when spring comes most German divisions will get their CVs back above most of yours.

More screens after I go get the dogs some new food Have to take care of them or it is the end of me

Status: offline 		Turn 33 1/29/41

Smolensk, Kharkov, Kursk and Novograd fell to the red army in the last 2 weeks, and I have pushed his lines back over 100 miles in some sectors of the line. My front-line units are still taking heavy losses and i am getting stopped on some combats but not many. I have many reserves committed and I should be able to push 60 more miles and capture Velikie Luki and Dnepropetrovsk before winter ends.

Here is the turn 33 production

Status: offline 		I think you are wise on picking some stop points to dig in on and recover some strength from the winter offensive. You look really good from the Smolensk area up to the north on where you are looking to stop at. The Germans are going to have some hard slogging to come back through a lot of that nasty terrain. In the south, not so much, but still.

Actually, German tank losses are not that terrible, especially from a historical view point (they had 140 operational tanks by March 42 on the entire front). It is a little low compared to some of the other AAR's out there, but then the Soviets have lost a ton of tanks too, so it is somewhat relative. His overall strength looks like it may sink to 2 million and that is low.

Ah but I am really more than anything trying to kill Germans and as i have limited mobility but a ton of troops, barging my way through them seems to make sense for now

Just sent off turn 34, will post update after turn 35 move probably tomorrow.

Status: offline 		If you pick good spots to attack and reinforce, your opponent may be threatened with encirclement; he faces that or pulls back units, out of the best fort levels already dug.

For example near Belgorod/Kharkov you seem to be trying what I have in mind.  Go around the 3 unit stacks, advancing along the rail line.  Units holding the pocket can be 2 unit stacks.  Those Stavka units can follow the attacks, forming part of the pocket.

Best way to kill enemy forces is to encircle before attacks, then force surrender.

Oh by far better than they were historically, I did not suffer near the losses in the retreat and have pushed him well back from danger spots. With the force I have I doubt he will be able to do damaging harm in the summer, although he may be able to hurt me in areas. Once I can form infantry and mechanized corps things will get much worse. Although the way defense works I think my larch westward will be much harder than it was historically, which means bloodier.

Status: offline 		Turn 35 is here and I thought I would post an interesting set of shots. They show my approximate start line at the beginning of the snow, before the blizzard turns, when I was prepping for the offensive, and my position now. It is quite revealing in that my opponent had 8 weeks to dig in and position and I still drove him back this far, and the winter is not over yet.

Belphigor has suffered 1,7 million casualties, although 1.25 million of these are disabled and alot will return, he is still badly outnumbered.
