At almost 6M men at the Start of 1942 you are in a super strong position, you should be back on the offensive probably at the end of 1942 provided you dont suffer any massive set backs over the summer of 1942. Also german losses look high...so going to be rough for the Axis going forward.

Agree. Very nice blizzard offensive and OOB looks great.

My number one goal in the summer of 1942 is to avoid any large pockets, and if I don't lose to my opponent in 1942 then start the long road to Berlin in 1943.
