Could this be a record for Pavlov?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

ORIGINAL: Panama

and air force deputy chief of the Western Front (after the suicide of Major General Aviation II Kopec - Chief of the Air Force of the Western Front), Major General Aviation A. I. Tayursky.
I actually read, that his death wasn't related with defeat of Western Front. He was shot as an effect of "Great Purge: The Sequel" which took place in 41/42 - this time centering on air force commanders. From my game experience Northwest and Western Fronts Air Commanders die more often than Pavlov.

Pavlov, however, is rather overrated in this game. He had a bad situation, it is true, but responded badly to it. (His chief of staff, Boldin, proved far more decisive and effective. This fellow fought his way out of 2 pockets, and was instrumental in saving Tula.)
Well he did something. He created Mounted-Mechanized Group (2 Mech Corps + 1 Cav Corps) for counterattack and give command to Boldin. How he could know, that Boldin is so incompetent, and he will sit and do nothing? It's not that counterattack has failed because there wasn't one. Group sit in place for few days without orders. One of the corps commander didn't even knew that he is now under Boldin, as he received 0 (zero) orders from him. That's for "decisive" Boldin. He was lucky he wasn't shot as Western Front debacle is in large precent his fault.
