Most likely I am looking for opportunity.
I do not think I will make an attempt on Moscow with a wide circle, I might try and squeeze my way around just at the city limits. Also most my tanks are already further south.
Now I always have dreamed of owning Baku, so that remains a goal. Oil my boy, black gold!
oh and total destruction of the mean red fighting machine.

I don't think he is trying to get cheap wins with tank reserves.
He is just set up with them, in back, holding future entrenched positions.
And set to reserve of course.
I have really been loading up on these attacks near Moscow. he needs more defensive umph atm.

You already have him on the back foot...you are already across at Rostov still and just removed an entire Soviet Army from his southern OOB.
My guess is his ability to defend the far south will be very limited by summer already esp if you keep pressure on Moscow.

But then a 4 sided attack meets defeat

Then a 3 sided attack south of Moscow fails.
Stalin must be promising mud conditions ahead.
The rifle brigade reserve surely helped here.

Final Moscow area. 1 more snow.
Although we are actually playing variable weather. I just think that last summer conditions were normal and had no variation.

Near Tula
I try a surround attempt but one can see that the pincers had no way of closing.
This should cause retreat and we shall wait for another opportunity

south final
I have cleared out 4 hexes south of the Don near Rostov. Thus my crossing of follow-on troops when I break south from here will be uninterrupted by Russian zoc's and spies.
I await a clear turn.
