Barbarossa - Third turn and some of the fourth turn

This is  a big game.  You focus on one area, turn away, look back and it takes a while to find where you were looking at previously!

But we are getting there.

AGN on the road to Riga (south west approach)

AGN driving north

AGC on the northern road to Minsk (bottom right)

On the southern road to Minsk
This is a critical route as it has the promise of a good supply line.

But AGC still has some mopping up to do

Critical attacks by the massed Panzer formations of AGS,
the aim is to open the road to Kiev (center right hand side)

Attacks designed to cut off Lvov from the north.

Attacks to get to Lvov from the west

AGN end Turn 3

The rest of AGN but mostly AGC
Soviets are retreating on Minsk

AGS ready to exploit its very successful set of attacks

Turn 4

AGN - still in the process of moving/determining attacks

AGC fast outstripping its supply lines as it starts to approach Minsk,
from north and south

AGS showing determined attacks.
Pincers will start to close on Lvov
while a breakthrough just south of the Pripet marshes is imminent,
which will open the road to Kiev.

Game Turn six will see the Rumanian front activate and really test our reach!

    1. Thanks. It's addictive. We will hopefully get through two turns a week, maybe more as the situation will simplify due to reduced targets and reduced ability to engage those targets mainly due to supply.

    1. The physical size is daunting. It is a major achievement just to get it all set up.

    1. So far it is mainly the standing that is the physical challenge, but reach and associated back ache will come real soon.
