It isn't and never has been - not even I'm that dumb!![:'(]
 
the other port along the coast between Archangel and where you did land was for a couple of turns tho - that might have been awkward but it's too late now [8D]

where's your reserves Larry??!!

No, see, you don't understand. My reserves were destroyed in turns 1 and 2. I don't have any reserves left anywhere on the map.

Here's the Soviet turn 10 minimap moves movie from turns 6 throu 10: Buzz has breached my defensive lines and is in the process of destroying my troops

Hmm...looks like your reserves are all at Moscow!!
 
 

Well Larry has pulled wayyyyyy back. Therefore my casualties even though they are high, they are managable. I haven't lost any units. Whereas with SMK I am expending HRS like they were bird feed. I now have to try to save the guys that he has surrounded because he has been killing my regts. I think due to stupid things I have done and good things that he has done I have lost between 6-8 regts.

Lessons learned. 1. Know how to dig in HQs vice putting them in tactical. 2. You have to rest your guys or they eventually just evaporate. 3. Figure out a way to nuke the little guys!!! (attacked a rr repair guy with air and a regt repeatedly and lost repeatedly....enough of my whining).

Larry - I have broken through his line in the center/south of smolensk. He has enough to pull back and I think hold me for a few more turns. If I can get across the Luga river he will be sucking up in Leningrad.

SMK - I think he has about 150 units less on the board then Larry, I think I have finally hurt a bunch that they won't be counterattacking me as much his next turn. (I just finished turn 12 here and he did counterattack a lot on turn 11, I lost 3 regts, wait to you see my losses on turn 12). Even though I have lost alot I think he has lost much more so when his divs start coming in (reconstituted) he will see a rapid reduction in his rifle squads.

I took Kiev in both games this turn.

The air war: I am seeing a 10-1 loss ratio, in my favor, from the report but I figure it's closer to 3-1.

So here it is the 11th Soviet turn and here's the minimap moves movie from turns 7 throu 11:

Here's some of the Soviet losses so far:

Interesting - I had 717 units in theatre at hte start of T12 - only 12 less than you - not quite hte 150 Buzz was hoping for!! [8D]

Yeah, and even with the 12 extra units I still have a devil of a time building a defensive line properly.

Gee did I not say 10-15?[;)]

Here's what it looks like around Leningrad:

And here's the view south of Leningrad:

This is what it looks like north of Smolensk:
