Kuniworth vs Fartknocker, east front scenario AAR

[Kuniworth]

Ok tthis is a playtest of my scenario. Partisans and bombings of german cities by the western allied still not included.

[Kuniworth]

june 22nd,

the war begins. German, Rumania and Slovakia declares war on the USSR.

NORTH;

Von Leeb's forces smash the opposing panzer and capture Vilna and Kaunas. We are outside Riga.

CENTER;

The russian west front is shattered(Pavlov surviving at 1) and Bialystok captured. Brest holds but we are close to Minsk. The russians are more or less crushed, the red airforce in the center is to a large extent destroyed.

SOUTH;

We aim to destroy russian armour, therefore Lvov still holds. The romanians are approaching Kishinev in Bessarabia, supported by 11th Army.

At end of turn Hungary and Finland prepares for war.

This looks really fun! Well back to business.

The germans surround most of the Frontline units and destroy them. Romania seems to be starting an offensive in the south. The russians retreat back waiting for better tech and to outproduce the axis. In the south, the russians suicide themselves to a german tank, most russian units die while the tank stays at 1 str. At the end of the turn Hungary and Finland declare war.

the axis offensive rolls on and Russians are beeing punished all along the front. Hungary and Finland joins the war.

FINLAND;

Mannerheim's karelian army attacks Vyborg but can't dislodge the russian 7th Army.

NORTH;

Russian rtesistance is crushed. Riga falls, Dvinsk falls and the russian airforce in the north loses a couple of units.

CENTER;

Minsk falls, and Pavlov HQ annihilated. Panzers race for Mogilev. Infantry have a hard time cathing up as russian scorched earth tactics make supply low.

Finish front june 29th;

[Fartknock3r]

June 29- The russians are reinforcing themselves for the battle yet to come. The russians turn there attention to the finish front, bombarding coastal units and the helesinki port. The Russians mass airpower by Finland to weaken there ability to do anything and pin them down. A knock-out blow is needed to prevent extra resources to the northern front.

july 6,

the advance continues. Halder writes in his diary; "without exaggeration it's safe to say that this campaign will be won within 3 weeks"

FINLAND;

Russian baltic sea fleet is bombarding the heroic finnish troops. Attacks on Vyborg continues, russian 7th Army down to 4. We are closing in on Petrozavodsk.

NORTH;

Not much resistance. Advance across the dvina river meet with no resistance. Advance into Estonia begins and Pskov within our reach. Northwest Front HQ found and attacked. Unfortunately the airfleets must be moved up to be in reach of targets.

CENTER;

Supply is becoming a real problem. However we capture Mogilev withyout resistance and is two hexes from Smolensk! Brest-Litovsk will be entered next turn.

SOUTH;

German panzers in desperate need of refitting. We capture Zhitomir defend by only a week rifle corps.

ROMANIAN FRONT;

We are advancing on Odessa. 2 hexes from it, it stands undefended.

[Fartknock3r]

July 6- The russians reinforce there finnish position and begin aerial attacks on the Finnish air fleet. The russian ships continue bombardament on the Fins. The Tank approaching smolensk bring the red army on high alert. A defence line is established and troops are being reinforced and sent to the front.
