The 1st Romanian Armored Division was almost entirely equipped with surplus Czech 38s and none of the their AT guns could penetrate the armor of their Russian equivalents. I was amazed they ever did anything at all.

Hence why I used to push on the Cavalry Division. :P

1st Armored Division isn't fully tanks, it has also Infantry TO&E and the Soviets facing me are soft targets. I wouldn't use it to blitz through too far from the German 11th Army, though.

I just finished June 30th, 1941.

Each turn represents 4 days; Turn 1 is a pre-turn where the player is only allowed to choose strategic goals and play randomly triggered Decisions.

No turn for you guys tonight, I have an appointment later tonight and I must get up very early tomorrow.

In the meantime, I promised an overshot of the entire front so far on T5, D+12 (July 3rd, 1941).

Bounced it off Glantz's book. Darn close AG North and Center. AG South a little behind historically. But the exciting thing is AG North and Center are pulling ahead of AG South. The historical puzzle is forming. Excellent.

Except that AGC and AGS are running at < 1 quota of fuel right now. My lines are overextended.

Wasn't that always the case for the whermact during this campaign?

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Whermacht?  Thermacht.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Let's say the Panzers didn't dawdle waiting for the FSBs to move forward. I rely on air transports to keep me supplied on the Center and the South. Right now, just AGS has 1120 bbls of fuel for the next 4 days. Let's say I won't race to Kiev just with that. :bleeding:

In very short order I'll have to relocate my FSB to Lvov and Grodno, forcing me to take a pause to refit. But not before I finish off the the soviets in front of Minsk and grab Tarnopol in the South.

Before I go to bed, here is the logistics report for AGS on the eve of Turn 5.

By the end of Turn 4 1st PzrGruppe's had used all its fuel supply.  :pinch:



I must find a way, any way, to increase the ratio of fuel going to AGS. I cannot afford to change 1st PzrGruppe's posture from Blitzkrieg to Offensive as of now.

Most of my fuel is hogged by AGN, which runs at 2+ quotas of fuel. To use this to our advantage, after the Minsk pocket is sealed and liquidated I plan a right hook straight into Comrade Tamas' teeth: Hitler's positive relation with me allows me to reassign PanzerGruppes, in this case 3rd PnzGruppe reassigned from AGC to AGN. I bet it's the last thing Tamas will expect.

How long does it take you, on average, to finish a turn?

Without redacting an AAR, about 30 minutes to an hour.
