Well - back in action.

First I have not looked at Dave's thread.

Here the German armor outran the infantry. I close the northern supply line. Once again, it seems, I shall not run away.

Here is my lineup for the southern cut. Good troops be damned.

My saying is 'use em or lose em'

German southern tank army is officially cut off.

At least that is what is going to be in the report sent up the chain of command.

Final Southwest front.

I resupply the top pocket.

His use of interdiction did slow some units this turn from getting into desired position.

Loving the playstyle here mate keep it up

I especially like shifting 1 of the regis at the bottom of the lvov pocket it could in theory be a key component in the southern front opearting a forward fighting retreat around the Odessa theatre

The German player, if looking at the snapshot above, only has to move the 5=5 armor regiment in the 2-1 Soviet Armor Division hex to counter the Southern attack opening the Southern route. At least that is how I set up in my games to keep this from happening.

turn 2 South

Post by BrianG »

A very nice dagger is thrust under my armpit and almost succeeds. Nicely done.
Obviously, I did not have enough units in the fort belt between the rivers.

Also interdiction did some movement damage.

turn 2 middle

Post by BrianG »

Not sure why I gave up land bridge but clearly what ever I might have had there was going to get totally walloped in turn 3.

so much for a good line at Peskov.

I guess I am trying to save my units. In many of my earlier game I have had horrific losses early.

I always try to delay german advance in Pskov and in the landbridge/upper Dniepr area.

Well done in the South but forward defence can result in a high cost of losses. It depends on the number of Pzd that Dave will have sent from the center to the South.

turn 3 JULY

Post by BrianG »

This rr cut by german forces takes away my planned escape route for the quality armor south of the swamp.

Now the long retreat thru the swamp begins. On foot.

Mild german pressure but since rr is cut, tanks have no exit
