By sifting through various post-battle reports, STAVKA was able to conclude that 24 and 46 Panzer Korps from PG 2 remained committed to the south. This would mean a weaker push in the center that would in turn permit more aggressive action by the Red Army in that sector.

At this point Leningrad is in the bag and your wasting your mobile units - you only need 3 tops and you can easly grind forward.

You can easly drive below Lake Ilmen and gain all that good ground before winter also forcing Russia to string troops out in center opening up even more options for pockets.

Good game.

Again, the British come to the aid of the Soviets. They have just delivered a convoy of ships to Archangel. Among the supplies they delivered were Hurricane Fighters. Our Finnish allies really need to cut off the railroad from Murmansk and Archangel to prevent future supplies arriving by this route.
