Finally, here is a walk through of the status of my armaments pools since several have asked.
Everything looks very good. In fact, I am turning aff about 400 points of armaments factories next turn for a few turns to build HI back up. I am down to about 16.7 days worth of HI so I need to build the buffer back up.

In planning for next turn, I set just about all of my units at Voroshilov to reserve with the exception of about 10 units.
Here is a sample of 5 of there units...3 that are in reserve or going to reserve, and 2 that are left out of reserve. Not only will this give you a feel for how bloody the huge war of attrition is in that hex, but also a good feel for what proper use of the reserve order can do to help you recover.

First, Botanko Heavy Gun.... This is representative of my 20+ artillery units in the hex. They will stand down for a turn in reserve to remove fatigue and disruption. I can not afford to leave them heavily disrupted and lose a bunch of tubes.

[seydlitz_slith]

9th infantry division. This unit has been in reserve for one turn already.

[seydlitz_slith]

9th Garrison Unit. This unit has lower experience than most of my other units. As such it will remain in combat mode to draw fire while the other units recover.

[seydlitz_slith]

5th infantry, which was also on reserve during the previous turn.
