Vilinius stats. You decide, was it worth it? To me Soviets didn't have too bad of losses on these runs here.

It's questionable on a number of these. When they were captured, the facilities are damaged. It's only Turn 4 and so they couldn't have been repaired that much by you. So it's not certain there was much to gain with this.

I think it's looking good. Those CV1 divisions won't stop you, even with this terrain.

My sentiments too.

I think the night bombing is probably nasty in the short run but nothing that can't be handled in the long run. The VVS is losing bombers to do that damage and it is not severe enough at this stage to really do much.

The Panzers are well stocked at the start of the war and it looks like your supply net in the Baltic is keeping up with them nicely. You are actually using the original ideas that Hitler put forth on two PGs to Leningrad, 2 PGs to the Ukraine, and then let them converge on Moscow if necessary to end the war.

The Leningrad blitz is difficult for the Soviet player to stop this quick and early in the war. Once you hit the Luga River line the reinforcements from the Reserve will have to appear to the east of Leningrad in nasty terrain that will slow them down in helping in its defense. The Soviet player has a hard time being able to react that fast that early in the war. You should be threatening Leningrad when the militia come in and there won't be time to build them up any. Also staffing a city fort in Leningrad will be hard to get the 10 divisions for a full fort there.

Recon of the South which I find highly interesting. Will have to start dealing with that for sure.

Yeah, I took a great many air operational casualties. I wish I had 220 some Rumanian fighters but I know this is an accumulation ;-)

FBD 4 has had their orders changed. They will finish the single track line to Riga and the one hex east of Riga. Then will immedialty head towards Daugavpils to start on double track towards Vitsbek to link up with FBD 3 coming from Minsk.

FBD 3 progress from Brest Litovsk. Will connect with double track line at Vilnius next turn then turn north towards Polotsk from Molodechno. I have a plan. Hope I can pull it off.
