Here's the Axis losses so far:

I've lost 6896 HRS's in 8 turns which works out to about 862 HRS's per turn. Adding a +428 to a -862 gives -434 which means I have enough HRS's to last about another 10 turns. After that I expect my Army will begin to lose strength in the units deployed.

So far production of aircraft is ahead of loss rates but that will not last long as soon as more Soviet aircraft are deployed to the field.

I still don't understand how larry makes his one long losses report.  Mine takes up 10 screens.  Anyway, here's Soviet losses as of Turn 8.












Edit: I wonder why the images are not displaying?

I just changed the IMG to lowercase and it works

I was as surprised as I'm pretty sure Curt was to see this announcement. I thought Kiev was the huge battery unit on the river and evidently it's not. So there was no storming in the face of arty to grab the city industry. Cool. I'm pretty sure that's not what Curt is thinking. Or maybe he thought it was undefensible and deliberately left it open for grabs. Maybe we should ask him about Kiev sometime.

It was a calculated risk.  With the troops I had available I could have held maybe a couple more weeks.  Then I would have had to deal with a huge gaping hole.

The last Axis rail line impediment to Odessa has been cleared by the Romanians and Germans:

I got two combat rounds and then an early turn ending in turn 9. Here's the minimap moves movie showing the moves from turns 5 throu 9:

Now a series of close-up moves movies starting at the north sector:

Now the northeast of Riga area:

And the next sector to the south:

I calculated that I destroyed 12 Soviet units, all of which were infantry types, during turn 9. Here's the Axis losses so far:

I couldn't find a house rule that said Slavak units couldn't enter Latvia ( although there IS a house rule that says they can't enter Finnland ) so I have parked them temp. in Riga.

It will be interesting to see what Curt does about me sneaking into the rear areas of his front lines just north of Leningrad

I blew a hole in the Soviet lines to the eastnortheast of Minsk but Curt will probably seal it up again.
