You should use offensive reserves.

would you not be better to sit on the defensive till the weather clears?
realise you probably want to disrupt the Soviet defences but you can't really trade losses at 3:5 and wonder if you can get a better return for your attacks by waiting till May?
I think it's too early to concede iniative. In my game against Schascha I managed to gain ground until the mud. After I faced a concrete wall but attacked till beginning of july.ORIGINAL: terje439

I stopped at this moment because my attacks were too expensive.
15 retreats for 17 attacks during mud in spring 1942??? USSR is so strong or your units were totally non-entrenched?ORIGINAL: terje439
Turn 42
Overall
Mud, I do nothing. 17 USSR attacks resulted in 2 helds and 15 retreats.

Ah, you must remember that I create this post after MY turn, since I am the Axis, the USSR attacks are actually from the previous turn [;)]

och, I'm sure you and your opponent will manage to burn some of those tanks soon enough [8D]
--- that is, as long as you can coax them out of their nice safe factories

Terje, use the bad weather to recon his lines heavily you should have enough planes available. Then pick an area of his front line then hit it hard with a Panzer ball, use 3 Panzer Armee's along with preliminary attacks by Infantry to break through the front line(s). Try to keep your attacks limited to units from the same Korps to minimise CV reductions. The final Panzer Armee should be used to exploit any breakthrough that you may have. I don't think that his fort levels will have gotten to big as it seems as though he followed you in force and there must be areas where he will be on the edge of his supply range.
Good Luck.
