Trouble

[Arstavidios]

Happens regularly.
almost all the time have to try a couple of times when I save game.
and from time to time when trying to open a turn.
Usually works after a couple of tries.

I couldn't upload a save earlier. Must be having a server issue of some kind.

[terje439]

Yeah, now I cannot even log into multiplayer...

Turn 178 aka crap

Overall
Had really hoped for more mud, but winter is here, and we will lose 2 inf divisions and a sec division due to that.
We keep moving back, and we keep reorganizing. I doubt it will be enough tbh.
6 USSR attacks gave 3 helds and 3 retreats.

Losses
USSR : 29.000 troops, 71 guns, 102 AFVs, 142 AC.
Axis : 11.000 troops, 97 guns, 18 AFVs, 18 AC.

Total Losses
USSR : 6.972.000 troops, 137.907 guns, 42.149 AFVs, 52.342 AC.
Axis : 4.728.000 troops, 93.275 guns, 20.531 AFVs, 12.5518 AC.

Axis units destroyed
None.

German units disbanded
The 109th Panzer Brigade is merged into the 14th Panzer Division. Then we disbanded some army airfields;
1P, 4A, 4P, 9A, 16A and 17A. Then to top it off, we disbanded the LXVIII Corps.

only 7 million soviet losses looks low at the end of 1944. Is it the total figure or just the permanent losses?

Permanent losses, but keep in mind the abysmal -41 and -42, and the numbers are not that hard to understand.

Turn 179

Overall
Mud once more, but the damage is done. The USSR launched a major assault last turn, and trapped 2 Sec Divs, 4 Inf Divs and 1 Pz.Div. They cannot be saved. Well, actually it was 5 Inf Divs, but two were merged to keep the number of rebuilt units down. We keep moving back to the final line, and it is coming together, but it still has some weak spots in it, but we still have some more units in the open. Hopefully they will boost the defences enough when they arrive.
81 USSR attacks resulted in 22 helds, 58 retreats and 1 rout. Not a good turn for our guys...

Losses
USSR : 34.000 troops, 329 guns, 232 AFVs, 376 AC.
Axis : 35.000 troops, 814 guns, 30 AFVs, 71 AC.

Axis units destroyed
150th LW Flak Regiment.

German units disbanded
1 Sec.Div, 1 Jager Div and 6 Inf.Divs were merged into other divisions this turn.
We also disbanded the LIII and the XXII Mountain Corps this turn.

Bah-factor
The prnt/screen did not "take" this turn [:(].

[Walloc]

Including those that come back via kickbacks from the disabled pool or just adding up those that is listed?

As the disabled pool kick backs keep that "pool" constandly shrinking if new disables are not added. Looking at any given day pool isnt in it self a replection of the what his been in that pool over time. Excluding the very first turns ofc. This goes for both sides ofc. Just a note.

Only the listed

[Walloc]

Thot so. You need some creative math skill to back track the disabled pools tho to some extend possible. Just saying the listen numbers in the above post isnt the whole truth. For neither side.

Turn 180

Overall
Winter is here (frost lvl 3), btu by now most of our units are back (still about 10 divs or so out there), and our defences are getting better and better. Will it hold through the winter, I doubt it [:D]
Anyway, we launched 1 attack with a surrounded stack in the hope to kill enough of our own troops to allow a merge to take place, but we did not take enough casualties...
The USSR made 15 attacks, and scored 8 helds, 4 retreats, 2 surrenders and 1 rout.

Losses
USSR : 34.000 troops, 151 guns, 195 AFVs, 153 AC.
Axis : 43.000 troops, 565 guns, 37 AFVs, 11 AC.

Axis units destroyed
24th Pz.Div, 167th Inf.Div, 299th Inf.Div, 213th Sec.Div, 904th StuG Brigade, 663rd PanzerJager Battalion, 50th Pioneer Battalion, 5/46th SP Flak Company.

German units disbanded
2 Fortified Zones. We also merged a total of 9 Inf.Div, 1 Sec.Div and 1 Jager Division this turn.

Frozen rivers won't help you.

I think you will hold till mid january 1945

But I appreciate your tenacity!

[loki100]

those are some impressive defensive CVs you have ... this promises to be an epic end ... even if you are probably going to lose ...[8D]

[Oloren_MatrixForum]

Terje - Good defense all things considered. I think you will hold out until Spring or later. Also, getting through SE Europe is time consuming, even against a very weak defense. Lots of VPs there. Another valiant fight. You could really use those wonder weapons about now, though.

Yup, the frozen rivers is one of my main "issues" with this game [:(]
I am not so sure as you are, but we shall see [:)]

Yes, they look good, however I fear I will need to more or less cover the entire area with lvl 3 forts. And the fact that the crucial Berlin hex is the one that is the easiest for the USSR to get to as well is another annoyance [;)]

And yes, I will lose, no Q about that. That was more or less a given when I started this game [:)]

We shall see, when you first cracked that line, things really went downhill quickly for me, I expect the same in this game.
In SE, most of Rumania is conquered by the USSR already. Hungary is still holding out, but not for much longer.
I do however have a line in place 2 hexes south of Dresden, hopefully that will slow the USSR down some.

Turn 181

Overall
One of our last offensive operations took place as the Hungarians rushed out and routed an USSR RR-repair unit. Apart from that, we move some units around to maximize the frontline defence, and we keep railing in those stragglers.
14 USSR attacks ment 9 helds, 3 retreats, 1 rout and 1 surrender.
We also placed some division in static mode as they are not going to move much for some time anyway.

Losses
Fubar.

Axis units destroyed
20th SS Grenadier Division, 251st Infantry Division, 285th Security Division.

German units disbanded
A mix of merges and mere disbands included;
1 Jager Division, 1 Sturm Division, 1 Mountain Division, 1 Cavalry Division, 1 Infantry Division and a Panzer Brigade.
