If you are into numbers: 98 x 250 x .6 x 3.8

The whole front south of Moscow is ablaze as usual. But this turn there will be withdrawal...

The Soviet thrust out of the Crimea has run into trouble. A Mech corps has been caught with its pants down by a turn of mud and is now isolated.

From 15.4: "...The HQ unit must be within five hexes of attached combat units and be able to trace an indeterminate path of friendly hexes (my italics), which can be in EZOC, to those same combat units in order to commit support units during combat..."

Clearly, all hexes were not friendly.

Hmmm, nice catch! But couldn't they have been attached to the Mech Corps?

In that case, the structure of the list of the participating defending units leads to confusion, but that is not something which affects the result so nothing major. Maybe you could ask Gids where they came from.

Rather strange to see Russians still relying on I-16s, and a fairly early variant at that, + Mig 3s.

Hasn't Gids got an AP to spare as auto-update doesn't seem to be working?

You're right, I didn't think of that! I suppose he is low on APs, I think he mentioned that in an email.

The withdrawal on the central part of the front leads to comparatively few Soviet attcks and low Axis losses this turn.

Losses are relatively low due to withdrawals, but not as low as I had expected.

Thanks for the tip! They are attached to the OKH, and it has construction battalions, but you mean further down the chain of command?

Status: offline 		Turn 142. March 2 1944. Snow/Blizzard.

Ooops! I hav gotten myself a little Stalingrad! I was tardy in withdrawing from the Rostov bulge and underestimated the threat of getting cut off! It was snow last turn in that area, which no doubt gave the Soviets a bit of added mobility, but now I have to try to counterattack in Blizzard. And I have no armor reserves in that area! Things are looking bleak. However, the Führer has designated the forces as "Fortess area lower Don" and the Luftwaffe has promised plentiful air supply. We'll see...

Map before Axis moves.

Tank or Mech corps are relatively "soft". If you have a little better than 1-1, you can usually push those back. Had it been a rifle corps with the same odds, it would never have worked!
