Basically everything that has more than 2 raillines going out. And then just pray that the AI doesn't do something stupid.

Status: offline 		So here is the big snow strategy

This highlighted unit 16-48 20th armor, if unhindered, could reach the hex just SW of Tikvin.

5 hexes left, 3 hexes north west (past the rough hex), and then 4 hexes north east.


That is the plan.

All armor will be redirected west to open a corridor.

I figured I could keep attacking and move this hex north of my penetration and out of the way

The 16-48 armor is revved up and waiting for the go go go signal

My attack would have failed even with this antitank unit gone. A Russian cav was unspotted in swamp on way to Tivkin.

Alas it was a good try chaps.

I am bringing up tank reserves from other areas to keep the push on towards the lake.

Status: offline 		kind of surprised you don't have some of those Romanians building forts by stalino for winter in the south.

In the north, I really think you overreached...you have a nice pocket for sure by the lake if you went west instead of trying to drive north. Should have easily encircled like 10-12 Soviet formations if done right and given u a chunk of land in good terrain not exposing your flanks just prior to blizzard.

Just following orders:)

The dreams remain big: We attack not knowing how bad the blizzard will be.

Status: offline 		my last move north.

Now it became my last move as I then did airsupply to the forward units,
and unbeknownst to me I found out that airsupply now saps away mp's of the receiving units (btw I disagree with this new rule although understand its intent).
Thus I was not able to move the ss unit one more hex. The lead unit will be easily cut off next turn.

live and learn.

On good note I am one hex away from cutting rr to Leningrad. Bad news only one more turn of snow.

Reports poor in of troops starting to freeze to death.
