Here's the state of Soviet production so far:

This is what the Stalino area looks like. And that's a typical sight along much of the Soviet line. I'm wondering if it's possible to break through all that stuff. We'll see.

Hate to always be the bearer of bad news, but look at my AAR, with rested units they can go through that like a hot knife through butter.

Here's the front lines in T27 before any Soviet movement:

Here's the ground losses so far:

And the state of Soviet production currently:

Larry,

Would you be willing to comment on how your blizzard attacks are going? And is that inf division isolated in the North (it seens to be curoff by a lake and on the remaining 5 hexes by you units. If so then congrats!

Bill

I'm surprised he's not even more dug in.

Forts take a lot longer now. Had he not got there so early and started to dig in when he did, he would be lucky to have level 2 forts. Larry will still have a tough time though considering weather effects are mitigated somewhat while in forts. As the Soviets, I usually have several strong armies set aside in training to kick off the blizzard offensive with.

yes.

Yeah but it has looked as though he had like a dozen turns to dig in.

The Blizzard attacks......so um.......my dudes are CV 1's and his dudes are bigger than that so I've been just infiltrating between his units looking for something I can attack.  He keeps pulling back and counterattacking and my dudes rarely hold....most of the time they retreat.  So the blizzard attacks aren't going all that well so far.  I'll let you know if there's a change. 

Just guessing but because of how fast Larry's stuff got over run I'd say his industry is pretty well smashed up. Kind of hard to build stuff if you have nothing to build it with. Kind of like sending half the guys in the division out with sticks maybe.

Just guessing.

Good guess. I'm thinking that Armaments is the bottleneck. I'm not reallly good at looking at statistics and decifering what's wrong yet so I'm just guessing too.

Seems to be very little mapower as well - a price of Germans having advanced so far. May explain why your units are CV=1 still. Looking at your production you must have lost a shed load of factories. Hard to see you coming back from that at the moment I'm afraid.
