I am currently playing my second game as the Axis (I abandoned the first game since it was to try something quite ahistorical which didn't turn out well: tm.asp?m=4201265 ) and find myself struggling in Russia. It is currently June 1942 and while I have taken Leningrad (Major Capital), I have stalled at Smolensk in the center and at Kiev in the south.
The biggest mistake I made, which is now costing me big time, was to bypass Tallinn in my quest to try and capture Leningrad early.
I was surprised to discover a rather sizeable and well supplied (from Parnu and Tallinn) force which cost me an Army that was cutoff and out of supply, and now threatens to do the same to a tank corps and an infantry corps that have also both been cutoff! [:(][:(][:(]
