Germany makes 6 attacks on the east front.

Two of them in the north, and one of them is supported by one LND3.

No Soviet support available here.

Three attacks in the center, and one in the south. One Hungarian FTR2 fly as fighter to the attack on the Soviet HQI, and one German FTR2 fly as fighter to the NW of Voronezh.

Soviet has air that can reach all four of these attacks. Germany has one FTR3 available that can reach two of the attacks. Will any USSR air fly?

Is the save enough, or do you need any additional information?

[NatRapsEno]

Fly the TB7 escorted by the MIG to the attack on the 4-3 infantry corps NW of Voronezh. Land the TB7 in Sevastopol and the MIG in hex 44,63.

Next attack will be in the north against the CAV Div.

Assault, or blitz?

Note that USSR decides all the remaining attacks.

Assault for all the attacks except blitz for the attack on Timoschenko.

First attack in the north goes well, and changes the odds for the second norten attack that is next.

The downward die trend is somewhat worrying.

The bad combat rolls continue. Axis fails to capture the hex.

Luckily for me the attack on Kursk is automatic so no die roll needed.
