Here's the north in T4 and the special forces have uncovered some Soviet arty and that should be no problem and the Pskov area is
contained and there's a rudimentary front line forming there. Follow-on forces are slow in arriving near Pskov so the Panzers will have
to shoulder the burden for some time yet. The supply rail is advancing but not nearly as fast as needed. The supply level has dropped
to about 15 at the front and will drop even lower next turn.

Here's what the south looks like in T4. I'm still using the full-front push. I'm expecting some holes to open up through which I can push
the Panzers to get into the rear areas. The Soviets are still falling back, still trying small roadblocks to stymie the advance. And the
Axis units are still in steamroller mode.

This is the supply situation in the north in T5. As you can see the supply level is dropping fast and at the immediate front the supply is
too low for sustained combat. The advance may have to stall in those low supply areas and wait for the railhead to creep closer.

Here's the situation in the Minsk area in T5: You can see the wild-west confusion and the fluid front lines in this area. The Soviets are
still trying to use roadblocks and are being surrounded and destroyed. They are way outnumbered and Axis progress is rapid.

I've got good news and bad news Dear Reader: the bad news is that it's looking like this AAR will end right here.
the Good news is that John Fogger and I have been corresponding via email about a FITE game and it
looks like we're going to do an AAR about that game so you'll have something to read about after all.

Thanks for the brief peek Mr. Fulkerson !

Currently working on 'condensing' the oob's for both sides, the main issues are having units that are scaled to each other (no ants) and getting straight all the comings and goings of units (especially on the Soviet side). Fortunately, most of this has been previously done for other scenarios that I have been involved in so its not totally unfamiliar. Hopefully we can squeeze it into 3.4 so that it isn't stuck in 3.5 limbo. The map and the oob fit into 3.4, so we'll just have to be concerned with keeping the events simple.

And thank YOU for all your hard work. I'm going to have to talk John Fogger into helping us playtest 3GW (Three German Words).
He's as addicted to the Russian War as I am and it probably wouldn't take much to do that. Or somebody else, anybody else who
wants to help. I'd ask you Steve, but I'm aware of your operational tempo already. You've probably got more than enough on your plate.
Anyway, it's a fun way to fight that war and I have great hopes for it.
