Turn 5 North
The Northern Front is more static than the rest. The tough terrain is slowing down the advance. Nevertheless we advance slightly forward.

Turn 5 OOB/ Losses
Another tough turn for the Soviet OOB. The air loss rates are more favorable to my opponent, but I am tightening up my operations in the air.

Turn 6
Small attacks are made in the North while CPP is recovered.
In the Center, Progress is made to clear out the right flank of Smolensk.
Army Group South is very successful, Kiev is ZOC locked, a healthy bridgehead across the lower Dnepr and territory captured all the way to Krivoi Rig.

Turn 6 OOB
The Soviet OOB is has increased drastically since last turn. Major Focus here is keeping the OOB down while taking only the most important cities.

Turn 11 Map (Conclusion turn)
Game ends here.Zebtucker went away for a long time and the game expired on the server.
AGN- Leningrad likely holds for 1941.
AGC- I think around Smolensk and Orel I could have continued making progress.
AGS- The Soviet ability to defend either Rostov or Crimea looks unlikely with my current progress.
Winter most likely would have been chill with the amount of Soviet losses.

Re: Drive to the East (Dankhippos Axis vs Zebtucker Soviets)
Wow, impressive update! Great job with the pockets in the south and the rapid advance. I especially liked the move towards Bryansk and Orel with PG2 at the end. One suggestion: you could have sent one FBD through Gomel earlier, instead of both towards Smolensk, and committed some fast divisions towards Bryansk. The slow progress towards Leningrad and Smolensk was tough to watch, especially with minimal opposition in the Gomel-Bryansk-Orel area. If you had used a motorized corps there, you might have reached Tula by now.
