T12, Kiev
I've broken through the Kiev defenses and have streamed a lot of units across the river and now I'm forming another new front line to press to the east as much as possible. Whether or not to continue the advance in this area depends on the supply level next turn. A repaired rail passes through Kiev and heads NE so maybe the supply situation might be sufficient and then some next turn. All the aircraft are green and only about a dozen bombers are resting even though they are green because their supply level dropped below 50%. I'm optimistic about future turns.

T12, Kiev
Here's what it looks like down south right now. I'm using the Axis Minor Country Allies to handle the Crimea while the Germans press toward Kharkov to the east. The Italians are assisting the drive on Kherson to get into the Crimea ASAP. It's July 30, 1941 and there's lots of time left to reach Stalingrad before deep winter weather sets in. Those units driving toward D-town and Z-town are in territory that has NO supply at all. Hopefully it will next turn or else I may have to supplement the number of RR engineers down here and perhaps put the local advance on hold for a turn or two.

T13, Leningrad
I finally captured Leningrad and now I'm going to try to surround the Soviet units in that area and destroy them. The supply levels are low on the east edge of the advance so I'll have to monitor that because I don't want to drive my units into an area where there's no supply and make my units overextended. I'm going to use the Finns to move to the NE from here. I'd like to use the Germans to move SE from here toward Moscow to open up another avenue of approach for the Soviets to defend against.

T14, Bryansk
As you can see the supply levels thin out around Bryansk and I may have to put the advance on hold for a turn or two to let the supply increase a little. Plus I need to review my RR engineer deployment policy to get the assets to the right place to do the most good righ now. I've been concentrating on the Moscow area to keep that advance going as a priority. So depending on what the supply levels are in that AO I may be transfering some RR engineers to this area to help out.

T14, Kherson
As you can see the supply level is nill around the tip of the spear in the deep south. That's going to make getting across the river problematic. The rail is repaired to just south of Uman so I'm hoping that it will encourage the supply level to rise a little. I may have to halt the advance for a turn or two to get the kinds of supply I'd like to see.

I like the mods made by Don (Zovs) so much that I'm going to restart and use his scenario. Here's what it looks like on my machine. I'm using the new Boardgame style.
