Gambit

Bought
Infanterie (mot) in Blitz 1t
Infanterie (mot) in Blitz 1t
Pz IID
Ju 86K-1

Core moved east, only one inf was dispatched to the northwest. With help from auxes and Luftwaffe it easily cleared all VH in that area. The main thrust east met very few resistance, except for the last VH behind a river. In the end this wasn't a problem, as my units were still in good shape.

BV -1 und Sturmpioniere in SPW as proto.


Battle of Wizna

Sold
Infanterie (mot) in Blitz 1t

Bought
sPzSpWg (8rad)

Taking the V/SH with auxes wasn't too hard, maybe my Ju-86 with its Diesel-engine polluts the air too badly. Taking the other VHs was totally different, as the way to them is narrow, covered by roadblocks, and in the end you have to cope with stacked units. Recon and Sturmpioniere were the decisive units. LTBV, no proto.


Bialystok

Bought
10,5 leFH18 in Blitz 3t

Going east to Bialystok wasn't easy, as my units got crippled by a long-range Flak-unit while they crossed a river. Arriving reinforcements and the TB finally took this darned thing out, and after costly refitting I progressed here also and could take the town in BV-time. Detached the fitter units southwards, as there is another VH in the middle of nowhere.

The southgoing part of my core faced no problems until they reached Ciechanowiec. There they got halted by a small stack and an aty behind it. Needed around 10 GT to get through, with help from my TB and a number of auxes. Getting to the more or less undefended southern VH was hard, due to the bad road conditions. With a bit of luck I could do a LTBV.


Brest

Bought
Infanterie (mot) in Blitz 1t

Upgrade
Pz IID -> Pz 38(t)A

Went straight east and splitted the core at Zabinka. The few armoured units I encountered were no match. While Kobryn in the east became an easy task, the VH in Brest was again stacked. It took some time to blow all the defenders, and BV-time ticked out. Regular vic.


Chelm

Easy start, hard ending. Taking the airport was a little sidekick, which took too much of my ressources. Unneeded, as the auxes together with Luftwaffe should have been enough. This way, my punch south was neither hard nor fast enough. Again stacked units on a VH. Yet another vic (BV + 2).

Break to Sedan

Bought
MGKw
Bf 109E-3

Ran west and left only rubble behind me. BV without any problems (and with hardly any fighting).


Sedan Bridgehead

Bought
10,5 leFH18 in Blitz 3t

Upgrade
10,5 leFH18 in Blitz 3t -> 15 sFH37(t) in SdKfz 8

As in the intro suggested, I sent a small fast group to the northwest, and the larger group should take Sedan. As I saw the defenses at Sedan, I decided to play it not in the historical way. Instead I sent the rest of my core also to the northwest, then raced south without any resistance and turned east again.

The initial small fast group took all VH in the west (from north to south), and the larger group had no problems to reach Sedan from the wrong side. An aux appeared as a surprise to everyone, and the AI ran behind it, leaving Sedan almost undefended. LTBV and a tk as proto.


De Gaulle's Counter-Attack

Bought
4,7 Pak36(t) in Protze

Upgrade
Ju 86K-1 -> Fw 200C-1

Ran west as fast as I could. Secured an airport in the south and held it against the first part of de Gaulles counter. Auxes arrived in the area and turned the french armour into rubbish, while the core conquered Laon and headed further west. Left my AT in the town, and it had a nice time killing some more armour that somehow had escaped the initial onslaught.

Taking Laon needed one GT, and this costed me the BV, as the way further west has countless roadblocks, some stacked units behind a river and another stack on one of the last VH. Vic, or BV + 1.


Amiens

Bought
Pz IVD

Upgrade
Infanterie (mot) in Blitz 1t -> Grossdeutschland in Blitz 1t

Small recon, the Grossdeutschland-inf and the big gun were placed far in the north (among some auxes) with the single task to capture Abbeville on the western side of the map. As there was ample time, they went through the hills instead of taking the presumably blocked roads. This way they arrived unharmed and started to attack. Besides some french reinfs, which popped up among them, they faced no probs while solving the task.

Everything else went via Peronne to Amiens, and after a short break for refit further on to Picquigny. The bridging-leader on my aty was a big helper here. Most trouble I faced was caused by allied airforce, the units on ground are no match for my core. BV and a TB as proto. According to the rules I'm gonna sell it.

The Channel Ports

Sold
Ju 87D

Upgrade
Infanterie (mot) in Blitz 1t -> SS Infanterie in Blitz 3t
MGKw -> sPzSpWg (8rad)
10,5 leFH18 in Blitz 3t -> 15 sFH37(t) in SdKfz 8

Moved to the western VH and saw, that tanks are the very wrong units here. So I used only one aty, both recons and two inf. The other units (tank, aty, Sturmpioniere) were redirected to the northern VHs. The auxes arrived there way sooner than the core, but lacked aty-support. Still they used a little gap in the also heavily fortified area at the coast. The aux-tk squeezed through, while other units concentrated on deleting the stacked units from the edge of the defences, in order to widen the gap. When aux-aty and the small core-group arrived, I relieved the exhausted auxes and more or less walked through the shattered defenders into the VH.

In the west my pixel-soldiers had also deleted one edge of the defence. Killing the 'real' VH-defenders afterwards was easy. LTBV.


Advance to Dunkirk

Did nothing at HQ.

The hint said: hurry towards the final VH. So I did with most of my core (an inf and a recon helped the auxes climbing up the hills). The start from far away and in a swamp is somewhat irritating. The Condor had major impact, as it killed the defenders of the last VH. This way the exhausted Sturmpioniere could take that hex easily for a LTBV.


Gambit Barbarossa

Bought
5 Flak41 in Blitz 3t

Upgrade
Pz 38(t)A -> Pz IIIH
Pz IVD -> Pz IVF
4,7 Pak36(t) in Protze -> 5 Pak38 in Protze

Marched up to Brest, saw the defences - and decided to bypass the town instead of attack head-on. It's good to have a Bridging-leader when an army has to cross rivers! Left all inf (except Sturmpioniere) and the Bridging-Aty back with the task to take Brest from the back. The rest went further east.

In the east I met bad terrain and some armour, including a KV-beast, while the sky filled with (pretty weak) Russian airforce. I struggled a lot while gaining hex on hex towards the final VH and took it on the last GT for a BV. To my great relief the last VH in Brest fell at the same time, after a heavy hit from the railgun and two succesfull air-raids. BV and a Fw 190A-3 as proto. Now I have to decide which one I will sell - the old and experienced Bf or the shiny new and superior FW.

2 Army Encirclement

Sold
Bf 109E-3 (sigh)

Bought
SS Infanterie in Blitz 3t

Auxes and reinforces in the more northern area were more than enough to do the job. When the northernmost VH was taken, a large aux-group could do a long march towards the central VH. So my core could speed east. Some roadblockers were run over, some backstabbing units were detected and eliminated.

The core left the central VH to the auxes, concentrated on securing the conquered area against some counters, while the fastest units headed further southeast. The VH there was taken on BV-1. The auxes had quite some problems taking the central VH due to bad terrain and - of course - stacked defenders. Still they made it in BV-time.


Race to Smolensk

Bought
Bruckenpioniere in Blitz 3t

Upgrade
Pz IIIG Tauchfahig -> Pz 739(f)
Grossdeutschland in Blitz 1t -> SS Infanterie in Blitz 3t

Split my core roughly half, with both bridging-units in the south. Both groups could not take up full speed, as quite some Russians are splattered all over the place. Some mobile, some entrenched, some in towns, some in the woods, some somewhere. One of my inf was soon down in strength and had to be refitted, just to lose all re-added sp in the next fight. Then I sent them back home. Northern group reached the river, and found themselves useless as a vast number of strong auxes appeared among them. The auxes coud have done the job in that area on their own.

The southern group rather soon reached the (first) river. They crossed it without problems. 1 GT later they were encircled by Russian cavalry and under fire from aty and another of those "Range AAD". Luftwaffe lend a helping hand, so I could escape in southern direction. There I refitted a bit and crossed the second river. This way I came out of the frying pan. And ran into the fire of an armoured attack. Four of my eight core-units had to be withdrawn at two or three sp. As the core-Luftwaffe had suffered a lot from the ominous AAD and was taken out of the fight, I called the aux-TB in. They paved the way, and the VHs in the area fell one by one.

The northern group also faced a counter-attack, but this one was way weaker and couldn't stop my advance. A BV-1 was possible, but I played on and earned the huge amount of 10pp in that turn. BV, no proto.


Smolensk-Drive to Yelnya

Did nothing at HQ

Was a bit too cautious in the beginning with the auxes in the south, was a bit surprised by the Russian attack, and was a bit lucky while taking my home-VH back. Else it was not that difficult. LTBV.

These scens were played during January and February 2021. I made a short break here.

[reloadmaster]

Now in October I felt it was time to finish the camp. I realized that I had played three more scens in March, without jotting down a note or - beware! - making a proper AAR. And I don't remember a thing! Thus you'll find more interesting readings from Typhoon on.

Operation Typhoon-Breakthrough at Bryansk

Upgrade
28/32 NbWf41 in SdKfz 10 -> 17 K18 in SdKfz 7

Re-OSed my tanks, the new gun and the OverAtt-15cm come at 12str now.

From the first GT on my advance was hampered by bad road-conditions and deep entrenched enemies. The auxes did not attack head-on over the river, as this was senseless. Instead I concentrated everything at two places and tried to cut holes into the defences. In fact, this showed not too much effect.

Core and later arriving auxes made steady (yet too slow) progress towards the northwest. At some point I could break the line of defenders. And was given a warm welcome by numerous T-34, which came in waves all over the place. Aux-Luftwaffe had to rescue me time after time. As one of the Bf-109 had won a Combat-Support-leader in their second engagement, the Russian armour stood no chance.

But all the engagementes I had to fight slowed my advance further down. Suddenly the way to the VHs was free. BV-time was near, and I had few still battleworthy units. So I sent small pincers towards all VH, the ones with the best transports. Luckily most VH were undefended. Still I met a stack on one VH, but this was the one were I could attack at full strength and with all Luftwaffe-units. LTBV, no proto.


Operation Typhoon-Battle of Mtsensk

Only re-OS at HQ.

Rather slow beginning, as I tried to find a place to cross the river - a frontal assault with only tanks was an illusion. Found a suitable place far in the north and wore some auxes down for the breakthrough. When inf and aty arrived on the frontline, I concentrated on killing the VH-defenders. When this VH is free, I suggested, none of the other units would capture it as they are all deep entrenched.

I was wrong in several cases. My northeastern tk-pincer was hampered by a strong Russian airforce, mines, and supply-problems. I was happy when some of my best inf arrived. They could blow the VH-defenders, but took heavy losses to TB, LB, aty and tanks. About a half of my units up there was unable to move on the last GT due to LB-attacks and problems to refuel on sand.

The first VH was emptied pretty soon, but numerous counterstriking T-34 filled the gap and threatened my aty. I killed two, another four appeared. I killed another two, the sky filled with Il-2 und Pe-8. On the last turn for a BV my mountain-movers could force the defending tk out of the VH and re-retake it - at one sp. No proto.

Upgrade
5 Pak 38 in Protze -> 7,5 Pak40 in SdKfz 11
15 sFH37(t) in SdKfz 8 -> 15 sFH37(t) in SdKfz 7

re-OSed both tk, another point of OS to my big gun.

The southern auxes got help from my bridging-inf, the new PzIIIH and the AT. This was enough to conquer and hold Kozuvka in the southeast. The aux-recon and the single inf with good transports raced northeast from there and took Novomoskovsk, with a little help from the Luftwaffe and against only minor opposition. Both VH were held against some armoured attacks.

The auxes in the northwest retreated out of sight of the numerous defenders around Ketri and Luvovitsy. They made a hegdehog around the aty and the SPAD there. Small Russian attacks could be weathered.

The core raced northeast from the far southwest and crossed the river Upa southeast of Tula. Most auxes southwest of Tula only held their ground, as the big guns defending the town rendered all attacks useless. The ones with good TP joined my moving core. East of Tula the group split into a western and an eastern detachement. While the western group wrecked havoc among the defenders north of Tula and a SuperMan-inf (aux!) even sneaked into the town-VH, the eastern group first took Gomovo in the woods and afterwards came close to Luznka, the VH in the northeast.

Then vast masses of Russian inf and tk appeared there, and the red airforce got busy. I lost and retook the VH in Gomovo three (or four?) times. An aux-Sturmpioniere had a DetDef-leader and could move into the VH in Luznka. They held it for two GT, in the end without ammo - it was a miracle against four tanks and about ten inf, several with leaders.

The firmly hidden northwestern auxes finally went into the battle. They draw the attention of most Russian armour and some aty in the west away from my core. So I could take the last VH on the airport at V-1.

Operation Typhoon-Attack of the Siberians

OS'ed my aty.

Didn'd use the far away DHs. After the first GT, where I fought 'aggressive defence' east of Tula to give the auxes a slight chance to escace, I ran away most of the time. Except for a few counterattacks, where I could delete a couple of enemies, but brought some of my cores close to extinction. Lost all OS on my tk and even some from my aty. Also had to refit some units.

What was still alive of the northwestern auxes on GT 2 only moved to the edge of the map and survived. Auxes from the east (hardened by my french tk) retreated to the southeastern VH, which I could hold until TV+3. Then some T-34 arrived and blew my defences (but not the tank, as I pulled it out of the battle as soon as the T-34 appeared).

Everything else headed southwest to the VH where my core started from in the last scen. Defended it until the last GT and took the TV.


Operation Typhoon-Called Off

OS on tk, aty, AD and AT.

Placed the AT on the VH, the CS-inf on the left and the shocking aty on the right. Behind the AT I placed the AD, adjacent to AD and the CS-inf the bridging-aty. Big gun behind the AD, and everything else but four units around them. Both recon were left at HQ, and the other two units were a tk and an inf, both with BattInt-leaders. They had to race southwest to the VHs there.

The Russians stood no chance. Every attack was repelled, with heavy losses to the attackers (killed 40 units within 6 GT). The two units I sent southwest did their job easily.
