It won't be until early 1942 that Soviet airbases begin to automatically disband.

Another way of getting practical info on the enemy rail network is to put your cursor on an enemy unit; with a high enough detection level you'll get info on it's MP and hex distance from a working railhead.

You can deploy your bombers and use them on night ground attack missions; they won't cause that much damage but it'll help a little, without massive losses on your side.

I didn't know that. Thanks. I disbanded about 8 of the SAD air bases and now I feel better about having so many empty ones.

This too I didn't know. I rarely have a high enough detection level unless it's adjacent to one of mine though.

I thought night missions didn't cause enough hits ( damage ) to justify flying the mission. Besides I'm hoping that all those bombers at all those VVS air bases will cause a huge army of partisans that the AI will have to deal with.

Here's the losses, etc. from the Axis half of T9:

Here's the Axis moves in T9:

Here's the Leningrad situation in T9:

The Reserve Front arrived a few turns ago; you can send some command load over there, instead of using the limited military districts like you're doing right now.

Yeah, good idea. The problem is I'm not really sure where exactly I should put the Reserve Front. I was thinking of just south of the Northwest front or maybe just north of the Southwest front. The SW front needs the help the most so it should probably go in there somewhere. Good catch.

This is the Axis moves in T10:

You let a cavalry and mountain division die. [:(]

This should be the Soviet moves in T10:

Yeah, I'm a piss poor player.

Here's the losses, etc. from the Axis half of T11:

Here's the Axis moves from T11:

The Soviets did a boat-load of bombing of units this turn. Um.......and I didn't pull back quite so much this turn either. I figure that I may
as well try to stand fast this time and try to absorb some of the Axis fury before he gets to Moscow. Here's the moves:

Here's the losses and OOB from the Axis half of T12:

This is the Soviet Production for T12 as well as some more detail on the OOB.

The Axis made a major breakthrough near Leningrad. The city's days are numbered. I'm afraid I may not hold it next turn. Also, down
south further Elmer is on the verge of making a pocket.......I'm probably going to lose some people if I can't back them out of the
noose quickly. My air losses are up again. D'oh.

Here's the T12 Axis moves:
