I am contemplating doing just enough attacks on trapped Leningrad and then holding all these Russian troops (The cav corps)as prisoners in their own city. Slowly melting away. If done right, I can guard them with minimal force.

I have only one question why you will not destroy trapped units? It can free whole finish army for you and you can try to conquer Cherepovets or send whole army grupe north to different sectors for another major offensive..

Cheers!

I see the third one only had Me 210A-1s as fighters - were they set to Fighter or Bomber mission? I assume the former and you allowed the AI to select the fighter escort? If so I sympathise. The AI has a really bad habit of choosing fresh twin engine fighter bombers as fighter escort over 109s that are closer and much better but might only have 1 point of fatigue more. The Me 210A-1 really cannot act in that role in 1942 against modern Soviet types. At the start of every turn I switch the Me210A-1 to an air range of one so the AI will never use them to avoid this sort of incident. I will only switch them to a combat air range in my turn if/when I will manually decide on which air missions they go on. Or switch them to bomber mission only.

In my game one Panzer Army moves the first unit and a second opens the breech. I find many Soviet reserves are committed and a need for a CV cushion. Wash rinse repeat until the Soft underbelly is exposed. It would be interesting to know the Soviet Manpower at this point?

Status: offline 		I would guess the soviets are low on manpower but have a good sized and trained army since they maintained both Leningrad and Moscow....the issues is when the soviets lose both it pretty much cripples soviet manpower for 1942...if they keep both like in this game it will probably lead to an early soviet march into Berlin esp with how good HLYA is at attrition and managing the air war.

Will probably take until late 1943 for the soviets to fill up on manpower and have a surplus if they don't take any major encirclements.

fighters. I don't change base settings.

My fighter corp is a mess. I have 4 or 5 large air units with almost no or very low fighters and barely any in the pool to change them into.

This German player will certainly NOT be bulldozing thru major Russian entrenched positions. Besides I will not have the leisure nor time to properly build such a good armor concentration.

I will go around.
