The three automatic blitz attacks in the central front goes well.

Turn continues with a roll of 4. Three or less and the turn would have ended.

The harsh weather in USSR wears down the German forces. However, the morale increase when the troops gets some time for recuperation and entertainment.

ahh but we need pictures of the map...

sometimes when May/Jun is turrible, just turrible it is blazingly bright and clear for many impulses of the turn of doom, Sep/Oct 1941...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Rain is better than snow, last impulse hurt USSR when Germany flanked through marshes...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Here is western USSR.

I came to conclusion, that Allies should try to go first in M/J ('40 in France and '41/42 in USSR) so that they know what weather Germany has when they attack. Knowing this turn weather would have helped a lot to place units for the best location in each part of front.

For example this impulse I would have left units to Vitebsk and puhsed ARM closer to front line, most like Vitebsk would not have lost (we have factory there).

EDIT: Su-2 is ready to help all hexes in north, but can't as it's OOS [:(]

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Manchuria

Italy send one FTR2 to the 0-box of the Red Sea.

One Italian TRS, escorted by one CA, sail from Cyprus to the Eastern Mediterranean 0-box, where the TRS embark one German INF from Tunis.
