Here's the front lines before any movement and after the Axis and Soviets have moved:

Here's a close-up of the post-movement front lines:

Here's the losses just after the Axis forces moved in T2:

Here's the front lines after the Axis moves in T2:

Here's the Saved game in case somebody wanted to look it over in depth.

There used to be some Axis air bases ( inside the red circles ) adjacent to where my tank is now and I caused them to disperse with the
loss of some aircraft. Just this turn alone, just from chasing the air bases, I was able to destroy about 120 planes.

I was able, somehow, to isolate one of his spearheads.

i dont like ai ags opening at all

Here's the T2 front lines after the Soviets have moved. I'm trying to pull back far enough to hopefully stop the movement of the Axis
unit(s) without having to go through more than one attack. It's not easy to gauge how far is far enough and how far is too far and I'm still
mostly guessing. I moved the air bases back to give some front-line-spacing range......mainly how far I think I can safely get to the front
lines without having the air base get disrupted by the Axis. Most of my planes have ranges like 9 hexes to a maxium of 13 hexes I think
( Mig-3's: 9 hexes, I-16's: 11 hexes, Lagg-3's: 13 hexes something like that).

Yeah, I know. I was planning on pulling back anyway so the AI dude hasn't really accomplished much so far. I'm hoping I can stay one leap ahead of the Axis armour units so that major pockets and massacers don't happen. Anymore.

I was able to move only the 3 Armament Points and 2 of the 3 Hvy Ind Points. D'oh. Better than nothing at all I guess. Which left me with 3,000 rail cap. and not much left to move. Too bad rail cap. dosen't accumulate from turn to turn. Or does it?

Here's the losses for T3 due to Axis moves / attacks:

This is the T3 saved game as of after the Axis moves for T3 and before Soviet moves.

I think I'll quit posting the saved games ...........they are huge files. Anybody want to download one just say so.

This is the moves for the Axis units in T3:

I did a recon-by-cursor and traced the progress of the Axis rail line leading to Riga. And by some miracle, I still own Riga.

Here's T3 Soviet Production:

I've got only about 20 I-153's of various types. That's because I spent about 20+ AP's changing the I-153's into Lagg-3's and Yak-1's.

Here's the T3 Soviet moves

I've got a rough draft of a defensive line started near Leningrad

Here's the losses from the Axis half of T4:
