Status: offline 		This is where I start to really pay the price for refusing the Lvov pocket. Generally the way this plays out is im forced to concentrate 3 panzergroups in the orel area till September then move 2 to agn to clear the region north of Pskov. the remainder and the reinforcing XL Korps attempt to clear the dnepropetrovsk region. I wont gain any sort of victory but should be able to establish a decent defense - that's against a passive opponent however and Stef78 is showing some very alarming aggressive tendencies. were playing mild winter and plus 1 Russian attack - mild winter being a necessary trade for no Lvov. My ultimate goal is to secure cities to base my armor for the winter months and hold like crazy.

Status: offline 		Given that you are such a fan of the historical opening, I'm surprised you have not sent Guderian racing south behind Kiev and made up for the Lvov pocket in one fell swoop. Perhaps you did not have PG2 in place, it is hard to tell where all the mobile units are at.

But he could have made more of a fight of it on the Dnepr near Smolensk so at least you are making ground and eventual his southern forces will have to fall back to make a line. A break through in the center might be possible. Good luck!

Status: offline 		The Campaign is taking an interesting turn. There was a massive counterattack in the area of army group North. A pattern is starting to develop that I plan on exploiting - the enemy is massing opposite my armored spearheads everywhere I go. That means a feint and a sucker punch will work. I made a mistake and forgot to move my FBD units a few turns back and that together with his constant retrograde movements is creating a problem with my armored spearheads. Casualties are still holding at 10 to 1 in ground 110k to 1.1 mil and in air its 1k to 8k ( 2k of which are ground support ) I did some airbase strikes last turn and will do the same again next turn to force his airfields further back especially in AGN

Status: offline 		AGN the situation in AGN is stable the finns continue the Karelian advance. The enemy has brought his army far forward which means his forts wont be too bad behind the front when my attack comes in later - the sheer number of troops means a frontal assault at this point will fail. Ive resupplied by air so my units will have some movement next turn. A major possibility has opened up that should push my forces through to Rzhev and displace the enemy opposite the Oshtakov hills. Im going to send 3pza north and poke 4pza south to meet them. afterwards both groups will head north and end the AGN silliness. either by a wide flanking movement to cut off Karelia or a direct assault on Leningrad from the Pskov area.

Status: offline 		AGM is in good shape my final objective is the Rzhev/Vyama/Bryansk line and that looks reacheable. Im going to bypass Bryansk and head for orel while 1st pZA moves on Kursk both groups will then move on Kharkov. Further south Im going to try to cross the Dnepr with a single panzer korps

Status: offline 		No major developments this week in AGN the finns continue an advance down the Karelia against a retreating enemy. THe drive south of lake Illmen was halted so I will be turning the panzers north to secure the line Oranienbaum/Novgorod #pza has reached its objectives in the center - Infantry will complete the drive on Vyazma and 3Pza will be moving North. In AGC 2Pza is preparing its thrust on Orel after seizing Bryansk and 1pza is launching its drive on Kursk. Further south Kirovograd has fallen and the troops will be moving on Dnepropetrovsk. At Odessa 3 German divisions are enroute to sack the city, The bombers have the port down to 49% at 9% per attack so the city will fall in 3 weeks. Casualties were minimal on both sides witht the ratio holding at 10 to 1 in the air the germans are up to 1300 losses vs 6000 Russian and an additional 2500 ground for a total of 8500 victories.

Status: offline 		After seeing all these AARs you are in Herman I just have to repeat as others have already said why not try the Lvov pocket?

As you are playing so many games you could at least try it out once, I think with the way the game is currently balanced its required to actually create a competitive game that doesnt just blow out in the Soviets favor by 1942.
