Another failed attack on Leningrad. These guys are amazing.

I do make some progress but it is fort after fort and bad terrain after bad terrain. Naturally I go were there is the least resistance and that is southwest of Pskov. But there is no operational goal here. Just trying to cause damage.

I'm hitting a second defense line of level 2 forts.

Great progress in this sector. I take Kursk, Belgorod and Kharkov. These were the main objectives of the blizzard campaign in this sector. Everything else now is gravy.

Many counterattacks this turn because I pushed forward with many tank brigades and they all got beaten back or routed.

I actually did an HQ buildup of one of my cavalry corps just to see how this will effect the battle. Most likely a dumb idea.

He is retreating faster now. I continue to hit the Romanians and they practically always rout but don't shatter. I already occupied many of the swamp hexes east of the Dnepr.

He takes back Oshakov and the three units there are routed. Instead going east I push west. I even supply a tank brigade by air just to cause some mischief. This is actually the first time I have done an offensive supply drop in this game.

I also land another army HQ and several additional divisions.

Progress but mainly in the wrong direction. A nasty Held result due to reserve activation. Totenkopf division is too tough.

26 and 27 CV hexes with reserve activations. Not much progress in this sector and another nasty Held result. An entire Panzer division gets activated.

Attack across the entire front. The HQ buildup of my Cav Corps was pointless.

Preparing to encircle D and Z town. Airlanding division gets temporarily encircled. Continued push to the lower Dnepr. I want to occupy all the swamp hexes.

I decide not to move that brigade towards Romania. Instead it is swinging north but is one hex short of a minor encirclement. It is very chaotic here. All his troops are pushing from the east and I am mostly pushing to the north and west.

If I remember correctly I moved an airbase into this pocket to provide better fighter, bomber and recon coverage.

Well it is pretty much over in the north. I just can't break through here. Totenkopf division is just too powerful and fortifications are too strong. I thought about my strategy and the flaw in my plan was that I didn't put some cavalry corps up north to attack the hexes with the finish troops. It might have been possible to relieve Leningrad but it would have required at least 3 cavalry corps each with 3 sappers.

I continue to push were it is easy but the bulge will have to be eliminated come March.

A little bulge is forming but it is too late.

Slow motion encirclement of D + Z town. The Romanians have some fight left thanks to swamp terrain.

Awesome fighting back and forth. He plows through with a motorized division and I surround and route it. A really good fight in this sector. Finally, a Romanian division shatters.

I am not really sure what's going to happen now. There was no March offensive. Wherever he attacked I was able to counterattack. Leningrad has fallen now. I am unable to determine where the summer offensive will start. He is already building lots of forts in the center of the front. Should be interesting.

It is the same old story in the north, center and southwest so I skip the screenshots.

In the south I have almost encircled Dnepropetrovsk and I did encircle Zaporozhye with the help of airborne drop # 3 and 4. I continue to focus on the Axis allies.

I have started to retreat closer to the city in preparation for the evacuation of all but three divisions.

It is quite hard to create guard tank brigades.

Zaporozhye is evacuated but a Romanian division with 20 CV remains in Dnepropetrovsk. The combat result shows what happens when you don't plan the sequence of your attack. I should have attacked the flanks first instead I go straight for the city. The first attack fails but the second attack succeeds.

I will try to hold Zaporozhye and Dnepropetrovsk as long as possible.

I continue to retreat towards the city and start evacuating the first divisions. A Held result to the east of the city will make the evacuation easier.
