T30. No regains in front of Kharkov. I will save the panzers for another day.

T30. Again no real need to commit the panzers.

T30. More mountain troops arrive to help the Rumanians in the Crimea.

T31 logistics. Suggestion posted in the suggestions box regarding Army group commander musical chairs.

T31 Moscow. No hexes recovered but no threat of a breakthrough either.

T31. Tula is still holding well - this area is key to my 1942 Summer plans, so the more I hold here the better.

T31. Trey is pushing hard on Kharkov but I'll wait until he is nearer to my panzers before I risk weakening them.

T31 Stalino.

T31 Trey continues to have fun in his little Crimean sideshow.

T32 Logistics. Still seem to be getting plenty of replacements. the first turn of blizzard took out over 250k but I seem to be getting them back slowly but surely.

T32 retreats. Trey is keeping up with the rate, and from this I know that over the blizzard I am going to lose an average 3.5 hexes across the whole front. It then becomes a question of how many I can get back in March. I doubt Trey will let me do what I did at Stalino in the Field marshal Noob AAR, but I can see a couple of opportunities lining up, so I am redeploying the Panzers accordingly.

T32. Kalinin is another key area for summer 1942, so Trey's lack of pressure here is good for me. If I was the Soviet, this would be my first target for my Shock Armies.

T32 at the gates of Tula.

T32. Getting Closer to Belgorod and Kharkov - I have to hold my nerve a litle bit longer before committing the panzers.

T32. stalino receives reinforcements from OKH.

T32. And the fire brigade arrives in the Crimea, so I suppose Trey has achieved his objective of diverting units away from the main front.

T33 losses.

T33 Logistics

But some, like 11th panzer are desperate to be upgraded to the 1942TOE so they can get their hands on the new PZIIIs and PZIVs.

T33. Some of my Panzer divs are getting into decent shape.
