My careful calculations reveal to me that I destroyed some 25 Soviet units during turn 7: 21 inf types and 4 AA/AT guns. Here's the Axis losses so far:

Curt has moved his aircraft to the forward areas and we're getting into furballs. This air report is before I started moving units at the beginning of turn 8 and is undoubtedly inaccurate but does reflect that we're starting the air war in earnest.

There was a lot of Soviet interdiction going on as I moved my units, brave airmen those Soviet airmen. Here's the end-of-turn air briefing report showing that I shot down more than a few of his interdictors. When I'm acting as the Soviet in an FITE contest I usually leave my air power safely in the environs of Moscow until the Axis gets close to Kiev and or Leningrad and I noticed that Curt has flown a lot of fighters etc. into the surburbs of Leningrad.

German Panzers have arrived at Odessa. Romanian forces are still clearing the riverbanks of Soviet units. There's a battle just to the northwest of Odessa as the Germans and Romanians are trying to open a supply line toward Odessa.
