New developments in turn 11:

In the north, the siege of Riga continues; it'll probably go on for a while longer. With that newly deployed army out of position by Talinn, I think I can actually make a play for Leningrad. Blowing some holes with infantry NE of Pskov, my mobile forces met considerable ...

Unfortunately, this usually allows them to amass more of an army and stall me around Smolensk, even if I eventually capture it. The benefits of ...

Just as a general post in agreement to what's been laid out here, I do believe that expanding the logistical system would have benefits for the game. Nothing too kafkaesque, but creating centralized areas of production that can themselves be upgraded, and modified - wherein specific parts can be ...

The game ended after I captured Ryazan, Grozny, Tambov and Saratov. Very few Soviet forces were remaining on the map. "Axis decisive victory".
