14.08-20.08.41

No dramatic change in the north, grinding continues.

[821Bobo]

Relatively big Smolensk pocket formed(around 20 divisions) in center. I was able to cut off the whole Panzer group with series of counter attacks. Next turn is mud [8D]

[821Bobo]

Retreat in south. Also started to pull out units from Odessa.

He should be able to break that but that Is not good for him

[821Bobo]

The north part is solid, at least I thought so. It turned out the tank division was weak spot.

Germans were able to reestablish contact with both Panzer korps that have been isolated in previous turn. Vitebsk is now holding for 3rd week and blocking rail repair. True heroes of Soviet Union. [&o]

[Fanstar1]

is that mud in Smolensk?

[821Bobo]

And the south

Yes thats mud, we are playing with random weather.

[Fanstar1]

all random weather in my game is the mud not covering the whole front .

28.08-03.09.41

Industry evacuation
Kursk 2 ARM
Kaluga 2 HI 8 ARM
Tula 2 HI 5 ARM



Rail to Leningrad cut off. Chances to hold Leningrad rapidly decreasing.

[821Bobo]

Vitebsk still holding and Smolensk pocket opened again.

[821Bobo]

Decided to not give a fight between Kharkov and Orel and ordered retreat. Line is very weak and Panzers appeared there.

[821Bobo]

Looks like only two Panzer Korps are in the south, no eminent threat to Donbas.

[821Bobo]

04.09.-10.09.41

Situation in north

[821Bobo]

Vitebsk taken by Germans and Smolensk pocket holding.

[821Bobo]

No change in the Kursk-Kharkov area

[821Bobo]

And the south

[SparkleyTits]

In AGC would it of been possible to cut off Lysanders efficient panzer supply next turn just NE of Smolensk?
It looks plausible from the ZOC and unit placement but it's always so hard to tell that kind of context in AAR's
