Turn 4....Soviet
The Romanians with German support in the south have overrun Bessarabia already and have reach Tiraspol..
Most of the towns straddling the Dvina have been captured by Army Group North though I have a Soviet garrison fighting in Riga to be a nuisance to German supply lines but they are cut off and won't last long. A smaller garrision at Daugavpils is also resisting but will be ovverun next turn. There is a scramble to try and form a coherent line to the west and south of Leningrad as my first priority. Most troops in Finland have withdrawn south to avoid being cut off.
Odessa has been fortified to en extent and the Crimean peninsular if being secured with what few resources are available.
Land shock is back to a more manageable 115 to 100 in the Axis favour but air shock differential remains too high for the Soviet airforce to be risked.
In a minor success the Black Sea Fleet sinks 4 Romanian destroyers but there is then a proficiency test fail...
