See the southern front. The bulge in the line was ironed out with help of extreme airpower.

Coming next turn though each front is building 2-3 MEDIUM tanks and 1-2 HEAVY tanks. That should bolster our beleaguered infantry units.

As you can see kills are pretty low this turn but still in my favor.

Once i get russia under control i need to crack gibraltor. Should i invade vichy france to take it or should just build BB's and hammer gibraltor until it can't stay up? Actually i could blockade it on the atlantic side as well and then those units wouldn't get supply right?

Here is the battle i was talking about i'm so very proud of the troops i've been leading. They are doing a remarkable job aganist unbelieveable odds. The Russians and American's both are outproducing us but we manage to hang on one more turn. While we are just one disaster away from complete collapse. Organized chaos.

Here is our northern line. Notice the tanks around moscow now. One heavy tank gives you 65 PP right out of the box even without resting they are truly beasts. And it appears 1 will do just fine per unit! Though my supply usage went upto 22k that from i think 18k so i'm going to have to kill a lot of these buggers off per turn or i'll burn through my 78k reserves pretty fast.

My southern front notice i pushed the red bear back over the river and will make a nice defensive line along there. I also added some tanks to the SS division by Stalingrad and at Riga(i think its called). I didn't want to move right up next to stalingrad yet since i spotted major atry there. I want to give my air units a turn or two to pulverize them to dust before i move in for the kill.

On a good note with everything i built my manpower is still going up!

Looks like my distributed FLAK IV is finally having some effect albeit small on the enemies fighters.

If i can keep this up i might actually make a dent in their airpower.

The blitz worked and i was able to bring Stalingrad down after a prelimiary air attack. Stalingrad is in the Third Reichs hands after years of hard battling.

As you can see the bulk of my forces can now push down the NW road towards moscow. eventually the soviets won't be able to beat me back.

In the south we've started to push through as well. Perhaps the soviets could be falling apart?

2 Soviet tank columns broke through a large gap and are trying to exploit and cut our lines of supply.

The valient flyers of the 109th and 105th Air wings destroyed them one after another.
