Allied impulse 8 continued

The Germans have made some progress into the Caucasus but seem to not haveenough force left to go any further into the area.

July/August 43 Axis impulse 5 ( impulse 9 ) Fine

Germany land, rest pass for 40% end of turn chance.

Germany rails an SS Armor from Russia to Paris.

Small land moves to hold the line in France are made, but there are not enough German units in the west to do much.

The situation now is such that Germany has to go on the defensive and start to withdraw from Russia in good order as long as they can. The Russians are beginning to be able to attack and could soon make holes in the front there.

This situation makes it hard to do a solitaire game, an actual opponent might make different moves.

Turn end roll was a 5, no end of turn.
