This will be an interesting turn as there will be lots of action across a number of theatres. For me the main event is I can finally create rifle corps (up to 41 of them). I have many guard rifle divisions so I will be prioritising guard corps for obvious reasons. At the start of Jul 42 which isn’t too far away, my national moral increases from 45% to 50% and Axis decrease from 75% to 70%. It takes a few turns for this to be reflected throughout the units however at least this will greatly improve the fighting capability of my army. Poor Soviet morale leads to insanely high losses relative to Axis losses in most battles.

There was 1 localised attack from Axis forces near Novgorod. This goes to the point I made a few turns ago about attacking forces with overwhelming numbers suffering high losses and not getting as many shots in. Despite being a much smaller force, Soviet inflicted more destroyed/damaged/disrupted losses than Axis forces who outnumbered on manpower, guns (and quality).

I make one attack in the area and take control of the northern tip of the swamp hexes and then I moved a fresh rifle division and my 2-cavalry corps to the newly conquered hex. I want to make sure that the base CV on the 2 hexes flanking this newly conquered hex is strong and that I don’t get encircled. The northern hex has 70 defensive CV and can only be attacked from 1 direction (unless other hexes are conquered) and the southern hex has ~200 CV owing to the guard rifle corps. I think these units are safe but only one way to find out!

next time. Getting the Roms to do anything productive is as satisfying as getting a surly teenager to tidy his room
