End Axis T9 (14th August 1941) Clear.
The past 2 turns saw the German spearheads grind to a halt due to supply problems and firming Soviet resistance in front of Moscow.
On T9 the advance in AGC resumed with some success towards Rhzev and Tula. Some small pockets achieved.
In the North Leningrad has been cut off for the past 2 turns but no assault on the City has begun yet. The grunts are only just arriving and the early birds have helped breach the Volkov rather than a direct assault on the city. The Finns are finding it very tough to crack the Janis line. For 2 turns a single Soviet ID has held back 6 Finnish ID including reserves.
In the South Robert has been retreating 4 to 5 hexes a turn since T6. So not much we have been able to do down there till this turn as no gas was available. But his space for this strategy his fast running out.
I am happy with the losses imposed on the Reds to date but he has managed to slow the advance quite well and has evacuated most of his critical industry. I have to say after a shaky start Robert has righted the ship and is making a fight of it. I doubt this game will end in 1941 unless he makes a sudden and large mistake.
It’s been a good game so far and I anticipate a 1942 summer campaign.
