Soldiers still hold on in center pockets and Minsk is still in Soviet control

The Western and Northwest fronts prepare the defense of Smolensk

Soviet forces set up at Narva and Pskov

I hope to be able to hold Leningrad

A general overview of the second Soviet turn

Casualties as of turn two

I would not mind restarting for the sake of it being more interesting

do you plan to create a 2nd defensive line SW of leningrad as a fall back line when the pskov line is penetrated?

If I have enough divisions I will. Moscow is going to get priority, with Leningrad coming second and the South coming third. I will try to defend the south but might not mind if the my opponent is super aggressive down there so I can punish him in the blizzard if he advances too far past his supply range.

Overview of the start of the third Soviet turn.

A defensive line at Nikolaev is starting to form.

A line is also forming at Kiev. I am also starting to get all of the tanks organized behind the line.

I might start disbanding corps. It is beginning to be a annoying managing all those HQ's.

The Lvov pocket has almost been wiped out.

The line at Smolensk is getting some defense in depth.

The 161st Rifle Division holds at Minsk, although they are sure to fall next turn.

The other pocket near Minsk has been opened again and will continue to slow the Germans.

The 29th, 30th and 31st armies begin to build fortifications around Moscow.

The Northern front gets reinforcement divisions from Leningrad and now the Northwestern front can take the divisions it had at Narva to Pskov.

And now an overview of Soviet turn three end.

A massive reorganization of the Soviet army has happened on turn four.

Here is the mess it was before I did my turn.

And now here is the in the process of being reorganized Soviet army.

I plan to have one tank and one cavalry army in the north, two tank armies and one cavalry army in the center and three to four tank armies and two cavalry armies in the south.

Each tank army will consist of 8 tank and mechanized divisions while the cavalry armies will consist of around 8 cavalry divisions each.

The soldiers in the Lvov pocket will surrender next turn.
