T01 Classicc open.

With my opponent we will use the following house rules:

1. After T01 just 1 airfield bombing/turn/airfield
2. Don't raid industries
3. No relocating HQ to kill off bad leaders
4. No muleing
5. No HQ bombings.
6. No Soviet landings west of the Crimea before 43 unless Sevastopol is Soviet held

My goals are easy:
1. cause 3,5 mill casualty
2. Take Leningrad

nice first turn.

-riga captured and bridgeheads over the river in tne north.
-ARM factory in minsk trapped.
-romanian troops activated.
-good looking pockets.

looks like a very promising start.

T03 before german moves

On Center front the german forces succesfully cross the river, and with a strong 17 CV pz div hold it.
This turn my goals in Nort and South are easy, just hold the line, and wait the german infantry.

South the situation is different. The soviet forces break a minor encirlement, but now they are very close to my lines, where 40-50 mp motorized units stand. That mistake gives me a great chance to encircle numerous unit.

The front after the german moves.
On North just clear the way for my next offense, and secure the position.

In Center I expand the bridgehead, but I'm affrad that wasn't a good idea, because the soviet will retreat next turn back to Moscow.

Major encirclement, more then 20 div, with the most of the soviet 4-8 CV mot/Arm units.
