The Eastern Front remains mostly a stalemate, despite the offensives ongoing at Orel and Rostov. I'm hoping the constant combat in these sectors wears down the Axis forces and sucks up some replacements ...

I already have a bulge at Kursk. If I were to attack and capture it, it would create a full-on salient. Ken's divisions are much stronger than mine, and could easily attack the flanks and cut off a pocket.
