I defenitly underestimated the german attack. In retrospect i should have focussed completly on infantry and not have gone for medium tank units (which i also committed piecemeal).

But i have not surrendered yet!

Vic,
 
Is there any way to concentrate your remaining planes for a very hard attack on
the german armor ? Maybe you can find units which are not protected by german fighters.
If not i would also go for masses of infantry. Perfect would be if you can upgrade to rifle III.
Like Arditi i hope you can hold, but the chance is very very small even you get Murmansk support
and the siberians. But hey, maybe you have a special idea and can use the siberian super units with good effect
in the blizzard turns. I hope this since i want to see the AAR continued in 1942 [:)]

An upgrade to rifle III would cost 160 pp.  Producing a pp is the same as producing 5 rifle II.  So Vic would have to forego 800 rifle II to get to rifle III which I think would put him in a tough spot during the spring turns.
 
With the winter and the Soviet entrenched positions, I think the game will go into 1942.

Yes, i know, but in case he get the 100 PP development bonus by event he could do that.
Or in case he saved some PP´s. Especially for performance against your tanks this would be very important.
But first he has to stabilize the front. It seems he can now concentrate on Moscow defense.

That's the spirit Vic![:)] Seille and Tweber, your strategic synopsis is interesting. Let's see what develops. Awaiting the next turn anxiously, Arditi[:)]
