The US send tanks to the desert, allowing the Commonwealth to bolster their lines. The Afrika Korps need some R+R....

The Royal Navy are being really boring. How am I supposed to conduct a sub war if the RN keep destroying my U-Boats and won't let them out to play??

Damn. Supermarina got a bit excited and its going to cost the RM big time. They decided the heavy cruisers near Patras needed teaching a lesson and so sent the Italian submarine flotilla. Light damage was caused and on the way back to Italy, the subs came across another heavy cruiser squadron.
Completely losing their collective heads (well mine anyway) the fleet was then ordered to sea. Conte di Cavour was mauled by HMS Warspite, but Andrea Doria came upon HMS Courageous and sunk her.
Something of a scrap then ensued that has resulted in the Italians now ripe for the plucking.....

Von Leeb continues toward the Dvina, but the Soviets continue to fight for every piece of ground. Daugvapils will have to wait until Riga falls and they can then try and roll up the Soviet positions from the lower Dvina southeastwards.

Minsk is the next target for von Bock. 7th Corps holding out at Pinsk is annoying as AGC could have taken that on the march.

Given the numbers being received I wouldn't have thought so. I assumed its just a reporting issue.
EDIT: Yes it is - the nos. appear and then disappear for some reason.

Some good successes in and around Lwow - but no doubt the Soviets have some surprises waiting for von Rundstedt...

Thank you for checking. [:)]
So it is a bug. Maybe you should report it?

The Italians lose a Heavy Cruiser Flotilla - but the British withdraw. Italian submarines are sent out to look for stragglers from the previous night's battle and come across HMS Malaya which is sunk via torpedo and shell fire from Andrea Doria.
