Final Leningrad position before the blizzard. My rr snakes all the way into the middle of the panzer pack.
It should get very tight very soon.
Hold at all cost!

stalino
rr is still too far away from front. I will try and anchor at Stalino and delay flank attacks.

surprised you didn't attempt to storm Rostov to at least take it before winter. With a good leader, engineers and Artillery a 6 factor soviet stack should have been easy for 3 stacks of Germans to move with no river issues. Yes it shows 80 but that doesn't mean much for soviets in 1941.

I might have but the extra army group award needs the other towns across the river. Thus "a river to far" And tanks really did not have good supply fuel levels

Way too agressive in the North in my opinion. Looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

I was thinking the same in the North, I would have pulled back last turn.
Not sure why cutting the rail area is important, as it will easily be repaired?

Agreed. There is a good chance he will lose all the units that drove north to Leningrad unless he immediately starts evacuating on the first turn of blizzard.

Looking forward to seeing the next turns...but panzers in woods are still going to be tough to move even in blizzard.

Isolated in blizzard against calvary corps and possibly mountain units it will be tough, even in forest.
