Thanks!

Here's a screenshot of the zoomed out map showing where all the airbases are. As you can see they are all well forward except for
that one IL-4 base that's just east of Moscow. If I had bothered to do some recon we could have seen where all the Axis air bases are
too. D'oh. This is why I loose.......I keep forgetting the details of things. I'm getting too old to play this game. Maybe I just need to go
slower and double check myself. For instance.

One of my units got bypassed and is now in the Axis backfield and I moved it into an air base park and caused them to relocate and I
immediately checked the Axis air losses and it seems I got 30+ bombers and change. Must have had a lot of damaged planes there.
Plus......I got a bunch of supplies and a ton of fuel. Cool.

I replaced the leader of the Northwest Air Command. The guy who was in there was a low-morale, low efficiency dude. This guy is
much better.

This movement will empty out D-town.

I wasn't fast enough railing out some industry from some places.

I wanted this VVS base to have SB-2's and PE-2's and stuff like that, medium bombers etc. so I chose a range of 'less than 40' to move
a group of planes and lo and behold they are the correct type. Cool. I'm learning more about this game all the time. Or maybe seeing
it again for the second time and have suffered a memory loss or something. D'oh.

This is the T14 Axis moves:

I did something ill advised. I thought maybe it was time to fight back a little bit and counterattacked and lost a tad bit more than it was
worth. Maybe I'll wait another turn or so.

1941 Soviet attacks need a much better numerical superiority than what you put in there.  At least 6:1 would be much better, maybe even 8:1.

Yeah, anything would be better than the 1:1.45 that I tried to use.  It was an experiment more than anything else and I expected poor results.  Still, 6K people lost in
one attack? 

Here's the view of Moscow now. I'm not sure I can keep the Axis out of the city. It would probably not be a game over if he gets
Moscow but it would set the war effort back in a major way. Would add a year to the length of the war maybe.
