Let's not forget the Para_Bellum has been dealing with a family issue recently.

I hope everything is working out well in that regards PB.

PB's provided us with over a year's enjoyment...we can wait for the next installment whenever it's good for him to do so.

This has been the best After Action Report for War in the East on the Internet. Thank you Para_Bellum and thanks to your supporters too.

Here's something interesting to end(?) this thread on...

It is possible, in this campaign game, to garner 290 Axis Victory points. - IN 14 TURNS -

The main secret to repeating this feat is concentrating the Panzer Armies/Groups and allowing NOTHING (NO distractions whatsoever) to stand in the way of taking the shortest possible routes to: First - MOSCOW and Second - LENINGRAD. Leningrad will usually fall first but, it's important to keep your first/main priority on taking Moscow.

These cities can be, for the most part, directly overrun and taken. If you have to completely surround all of the city hexes before they fall - you're doing something wrong.

No more hints, you've been given the major essentials, the missing details will have to be worked out on your own.

Have fun.......see if you can do better.

I'm not giving up on Para either, I think he'll be back to finish it, even if it takes a while.

Para, I wish you and your gf all the best and I hope everything will be ok. Hang in there and take your time!

I've really really REALLY enjoyed this AAR and I'll be here to read the rest when you finish it, even if it's during the 70th anniversary of Bagration smile

I think it that damn cumgespurten that is the problem.

200 Pixeltruppen had to be shot this week for dereliction of duty. All this downtime are making them sloppy and lazy.

Hey guys, just want to let you know that this is not finished. I'm currently visiting the STAVKA spie (she's doing well) and will be back home on Monday. I will post an update next week.

Thanks for your understanding and support.

You do realize that the future of mankind rests on you finishing this don't you? No pressure though.

Time to execute some more Pixeltruppen.

Finally some bombsgedroppen again! Thanks for all your patience.


Charge

Turn 58, July 23rd 1942


In the Far North the Finnish troops rout 2 rifle divisions south of Lake Beloe and manage to cut off a rifle corps. A rapid flanking move by XXXIX Panzerkorps, supported by Totenkopf SS Division cuts through the weak Russian lines around Danilov and trap 6 rifle divisions around Vologda. The Panzerdivisions by now roam free, Red Army resistance crumbling every day.



In the Yaroslavl area my troops start clearing out the giant Kessel formed during Operation Roland. 15 rifle brigades, 12 rifle divisions, 4 cavalry divisions, 2 cavalry corps and 4 infantry corps surrender, in addition to numerous support troops. 215.000 Soviet soldiers march into captivity!



In the Gorky sector the Red Army desperately tries to form a new defensive line along the Oka river. A Soviet attack with two tank corps west of Gorky is driven back with heavy losses and the bridgeheads subsequently liquidated. With the bulk of my Panzerdivisions still engaged to the West I'm a bit reluctant to mount another offensive move with my limited ressources in this sector, but OTOH I won't let the Red Army reinforce its frontline forces. XL Panzerkorps is unleashed across the Oka with 7th Panzerdivision capturing Arzamas, 60 miles behind the Russian Oka line! To complement this operation XII Korps attacks from the South. Unfortunately I don't have armoured formations there, but due to the lack of mobile Russian reserves even my slower-moving infantry divisions will be able to do the job.



In the Tamboy area my infantry corps keep pushing East, bypassing isolated Russian divisions and cutting off 2 tank corps near Ritchevo. 134th infantry division, supported by waves of FW-190s annihilate the 3rd tank corps near Balashov, destroying 47 enemy tanks in battle. To the south-east I reinforce my positions in the corridor leading to Saratov.



In Stalingrad the cut-off Russian forces are finally destroyed, more than 100.000 men are captured, the remains of 2 rifle corps, 8 rifle divisions, and 2 cavalry corps. And even while my infantry division are still busy clearing out the least pockets of resistance XXXXVIII and XIV Panzerkorps once again break through yet another Russian defensive line. 4 Panzer and 2 MotInf divisions roll East, then turn North and South and create another pocket trapping basically ALL Soviet forces in the area. The Red Army has ceased to be a military threat.




In the South the advance towards Baku continues, the pace of the Panzerdivisions only limited by the lack of fuel. 70 miles to Baku!



Another disastrous week for the Red Army. The Russians have lost 436.000 troops this week.

The Red Army is incapable of mounting any kind of serious resistance anymore. The lack of troops and reserves and thereby the lack of any kind of defence in depth mean I can outmaneuver any new defensive line, cut off the defending forces and hack them to pieces.

This will soon be over.







yep
