This is not good news for the russian units about to be cut off and then chopped up.

This whole breakthru was done based on opportunity imo.

He pushed aside 1 or 2 weak units and some Rumanians and walla he had a big whole.

Status: offline 		I think you're missing a lot of breakthrough potential with that many panzer divisions in the north in bad terrain. I guess the reasoning for the huge Leningrad operation is to capture the closest hexes to Berlin?

I thought you'd have diverted most of the panzers south after Volkhov river was crossed, but seems like you're really intent on taking Leningrad quickly and for good :)

I was making sure that Leningrad will be cut from supply for Good! Plus RR capacity is clearly not enough to move all these tanks. Some at a time. Tank units after cut will be shipped south asap.

It was a very nice WW1 advance. Alas, we are in WW2.

Russians make good attempt to breakthrough to trapped units. I think these Guard Cav divisions came from a split up guards corp.

Possibilities.

1 Continue smashing East.

2 Do a reasonable encirclement in this area.

3 Start sending tanks south.

4. Smash south east toward northern Moscow area.

Status: offline 		I decide to smash east. At the same time I will start sending tanks south.
Can't move them all at once and I want to keep HYLA troops up here if Possible.

In next few turns I will soon stop my march east, do a move south east as a feint, and keep sending tanks south.

the feint is to keep Russians troops in theatre plus cant move my tanks all in same turn.

THIS IS NOT TANK TERRITORY!

Notice the mud area.

Far south is clear and attempt made to clear river line of enemy.
Rumanians do a good effort
