I myself for now I've 100% Victory rate with Soviets (1 game bagged, 1 ongoing), and pratically 90% defeat rate with Germans in previous patches. MP games, that's it.
And I try to play 'historical' or at least fighting in general otherwise I feel I am cheating the system.

So I am looking forward to see how the Soviets operate and outdo the German here as well.

Anyway turn 9 starting. Movement at centre to isolate some units, and the cavalry is re-encircled.

I end the turn.

Yessir. It's cost me 293 trucks, if trucks lost = total freight losses (or 129 trucks if trucks lost = trucks lost in freight and that's the overall number)

Some units aren't too hot on supply, but the vast majority are.

Centre pocket can and will be broken easily, so there's no worry there. More grinding at Leningrad too.

End of turn. OOB Remains stagnant owing to recent losses.

I drained all of Transcaucasus's mountaineers, all of the Japanese border's tanks/mech (only 3 units), it's 2 mountaineers, and all of the mountain cavalry/cavalry I could get my hands on whilst still keeping ground requirement at 100.

Status: offline 		My opponent has also wisened up and started attaching multi-role units to panzers, as well as being strict about having motorised regiments on them also. I'd have broken central if not for the retreating unit buffing the holding hexes CV - alas.


What we failed in AFV trades we make up for in infantry hits. Many a german regiment, and some divisions, have been forced to retreat. Very good whenever this happens.

Turn ended! Very sad turn, but that's life as Soviets in the 41. Despite the many hilarious advantages, ultimately your TOEs still suck and trading is never even.

Still, he's made barely any progress in Centre and Leningrad. I have reserves coming over the next few turns, such as an additional 20 rifle divisions, (of mostly 50% TOE trash, but hey) and 8 fresh mountain divisions.

In the manual this will happen. No bug at all. Last bullet of rule 30.2.1. Does not matter if surrounded or not. The evacuation will take place.

Status: offline 		I manually evacuated the factories a turn prior. They didn't disappear during the turn, so I assume they moved during my end turn.

Despite tens of soviet games at this point it's quite literally my first ever time trying it out, as per whoever suggested I do it for Kharkov earlier in the AAR.

Also what is the TOE for your tank/mech divisions? You are using them very actively and I can not imagine that you can get enough AFV replacements to them, even with Soviet production.

I've shifted to using my AFVs defensively, in centre, which has had good results. But yeah my AFVs are very beat up.

Less than 600 AFVs in Rokossovoskys army.
