If we are talking about offensives on a strategic scale, yes indeed Ryazan marked the end. Future offensives will have the character of counterattacks designed to either restore the frontline or destroy exposed Red Army units. Although that isn't what is broadcasted to the masses. The official propaganda line is, the Wehrmacht is only resting up for a war-deciding offensive in 1943 that will shatter the Red Army. [8D]

No doubt, under the name Zitadelle. [;)] Good luck as switch over to (mostly) defensive.

How's your morale in September 1942? Does it begin to go down a bit now or still is up?

Fatigue/ losses might reduce the printed CV a bit, but looking at the screenshot ,the infantry is in prety bad shape .

There is no real morale loss in 1942. What wrecked the morale of the infantry divisions was the automatic morale loss of the blizzard. In June 1941 about 2/3 of the German infantry is at or over 75 morale. After the blizzard barely 20% surpass that line and it hasn't really changed since then. The average morale is probably about 71/72. At 100% TOE that would be around 9 CV, but to save manpower I'm keeping the frontline divisions below 75 morale at 85% TOE. If I try to get every single division to 100% I would most likely run out of manpower.

the fact that you are asking very little of the axis alies , does not help but
if you are wiling to reconsider
you can aford 95% toe for every german division, and 100% for divisions with morale above 78.
