Hinge Of Fate Game - Edelweiss

Looks like I finally caught a break there considering Nature has such an extraordinary ability to destroy my units! Plus I just damaged some units not destroy any which was disappointing given the sorties flown. I'd say it was a wash J!

A wash is fine with me, it is just nice to see my fighters do what I pay them for instead of sit on the ground and drink beer and eat kochwurst :beer:

I did get the turn but just downloaded it this morning before I went to work. I have had a house full of guests all week visiting from Oklahoma. They left this morning as well so I should be able to do the turn tonight when I get home from work.

Germany October 1942
With the onset of Fall and the coming of Winter the Wehrmacht has dialed down offensive operations. The Northern Front is being stabilized after the fall of Leningrad.


Erwin Rommel is at a stand still with the British in North Africa as the RAF controls the skies and the Royal Navy dominates the seas.


In the Atlantic it is mostly quiet as new U-Boat hunting techniques are sinking U-Boats faster then can be produced, and the "Atlantic Wall" still holds but is being weakened every day by combined allied bombing raids.

I got real lucky on shooting down Russian fighters again this turn, are German planes that much better?
 
October 1942

Not much new in the western front as the bodies pile up blocking the view all around the front.

After the devastating loss of Leningrad, Stalin is desperate to find some targets to prove his military capabilities to his staff and the Soviet people. German army stack in the south is taken on with heavy losses on both sides.


Tula:
T-34 Tank Corp 4/4 - 4/4 Cav. Div. = Tank corp 3/4

Some old fortresses were destroyed around Moscow to avoid German invaders using them to their benefit.


3-S of Voronezh, stack of 3 armies and other units:
2 Med bomb. shot down by flak
11 Med bomb. cause 8 dmg to 4th and 9th army
2 Heavy art. join in with 2 dmg
Blizzard strikes and deals 1 dmg to 3rd Panzer group (DBmiss)
T-34 Tank army 5/5 - 12/16 4th army = DBhit 11/17 4th army
T-34 Tank army 7/7 - 12/19 9th army = 4/19 9th army
T-34 Tank army 7/7 - 21/22 3rd Panzer Group = 17/22 Panzer group
3 field art. manage to deal 1 dmg to 4th army
Army of tanks 12/12 - 10/17 4th army = 7/12 Soviet army
T-34 Tank corp 4/4 - 17/22 3rd Panzer group = 17/22 Group :(
Rifle army 5/5 - 17/22 3rd Panzer group = 14/22 Group
Army of tanks 12/12 - 14/22 3rd Panzer group = 4/22 Group :(
Army of tanks 12/12 - 4/19 4th army = 9/12 Soviet army
Army of tanks 9/12 - 4/22 3rd Panzer Group = Soviet army 9/13
Army of tanks 7/12 - 5/6 Panth div. = 7/12 Soviet army
Rifle corp 4/4 - 2/2 Field art = 4/4 Corp
Rifle corp 4/4 - 2/2 Field art = 1/4 Corp
T-34 tank army 3/6 - 2/2 Flak = 2/6 T-34
Worker captured



Yeah the Yaks seems to be quite prone to being destroyed. :I
 
Nice turn Glas, :goodjob: but very bloddy for both of us :sad:

Hey Glas can you name or number your Fronts/Army Group it is very hard to determine what you are attacking with. If you have like 10 or more Fronts or it they are the same ones. Kind of makes your turn report vague. I don't care about individual units but at least the Front/Armies being named or numbered make a difference. If you could do that it would be great.


It is kind of good in a way with the loss of a bunch more German units at least my cost to keep my troops in the field will go down next month. Its been eating my economy alive with the maintenance. LOL:lol:
 
One more question the two planes you lost by flak and there was no fighter intercept by my CAP fighters?


Is there a way to turn on or off CAP or something? Other then the mission button.

That is a lot of bombing sorties with no intercept. Every time I fly air attacks I am getting intercepted. But when others fly them against me, my planes are not doing the intercepting as much. With 13 bomber attacks and no intercept is a bit much. I am not complaining just don't play Civ III much other then these PPEM's and don't understand how a lot of this stuff works.
If that makes any sense LOL
 
I'll try to remember to name my groups, haven't thought about it yeah that looks bit confusing indeed :)

No intercepts of any kind from planes. Are you sure there were any in range and on mission? I am not expert on air missions, haven't used them much on single player.

It might be that the tile was not in my territory? It is in range but not in German territory.
 
evening guys. I am fighting probably the worst case of Flu with bronchitis for the last 3 days that I've ever had. Thought I might feel up to playing this evening but just too sick to do so. If I can't get it done tomorrow then I will defer to one of my allies to play my turns. I'll post an update tomorrow evening one way or the other. Really..never been this sick in years! :yuck:

Thanks J and really I have NEVER been this sick. SLEEP!! God help me I would love to. I doze in between coughing up the nastiest stuff from BOTH the sinuses and lungs. I feel better when up since I don't seem to cough as much. But lay down I can't. All the coughing starts. But for all of this...I feel better today by a tad after the return visit to the Urgent Care Clinic for new meds to try and kick this back some. Combine that living in a near empty house as remodelers are finishing up new floors....NOT FUN!

WARNING...do not approach Lincoln Nebraska!!! I won't let you in!! My relatives just drop off bags at the doorstep!!! Now...gotta lay down.
