Land actions for UK and USSR.

USSR rails the Kiev factory to Akmolinsk and the Tashkent militia to Kalinin.

USSR decides to make a stand in the Gomel area to try and prevent a turn to the South by the great German Spearhead currently on course for Moscow. They leave a small force supported by armor in central Ukraine.

They continue to withdraw their forces in the great northern forest area. However, they don't yet abandon their disorganized comrade trapped disorganized in the swamp south of Novgorod.

UK makes a few land moves. They bolster their armored unit in Karelia and drop off a motorized division on Alexander. Gort moves into Djibouti along with an infantry division.

Bomber to India for UK from the Berbera and the nav comes back from the Shetland Islands to central UK. USSR rebases their TB7 to Vologda. Their fighter rebases near Kiev.
