Smolensk '41 Camapign Game AAR

[Plain Ian]

Interesting plans.  It looks simple on the map you have drawn but from the Dnepr to Smolensk is a long way. 

You are not sending anything north of the W. Dvina? Edit by this I mean running a Division further east than what you have plotted for 20th Panzer.

You’ve plotted a strange route for the 29th Motorised? 

I also can’t see any mention of the 4th Panzer and 1st cavalry Division of XXIV Mot Korps?

Vitebsk and Orsha are left to be captured by follow on infantry?

I can’t find my CD so I cannot follow the place names you’ve mentioned in your plans. I have redrawn your map based on the lines you drew and circled your objectives. I couldn’t resist it.

Good luck with your game. I can’t remember who said that no plan survives the first contact with the enemy but I do know its better to have a plan than none at all!
