Thanks for giving me this. 4 Level Bombers! ! ! ! ! !:shock:
That is something Richard Martin would agree with, but they are so super expensive. I see myself, based on minimal research, 1t dealing with aggressive 1st attack, once eliminated avoiding the flanks on both sides of the map and simply moving fast towards the center to break them there, and then decide a strong force to the left and right to seize last 2 objectives. The goal is to avoid the excess trigger marks so I can deal with the enemy when and how I am ready..

Thanks again for the feedback. i will not be ready this weekend, but will prepare to hopefully give her a go hopefully by the following weekend.

a] 4 Tactical and 4 Level Bombers: yes they are devastating! two shots on each target and then boom
b] regarding your thought of moving fast towards the center: check the map, it is all about hills and forests in the center, it will take some time to move through them.
d] that is why I propose to deal with west forces and then a left flank and rear attack to Olkhovatka
e] in any case you need the closest airport on the west

Below a map plan proposal, of course you will find what is the best to do, after play testing the map.
My ideas are only observational from map layout, no combat exp in this area

Good to hear! I'll be watching for it.

I must have played 43 East about 20 times in total, and found new methods for Belorusk, Orel, and Oboyan that I hadn't thought of before. I haven't even tried for DV with Oboyan for ages, and just managed a last-turn (almost last-move) DV. I've just about finished clearing the armouries today and will see how I get on with Prokhorovka tomorrow.
Your approach looks more sophisticated then my usual smash up the centre, which often does't work that well, and will certainly contrast with the time I completey forgot about the SE deployment zone until Turn 1, when I noticed it was a bit empty there. Not one of my best attempts. Great stuff, very informative and clear.

If I'd remembered to do that I would have got a final-turn DV, instead of watching a tank unit rolling in on the final turn and thinking 'Ah....'.
