Here's a panoramic view of the Kiev area right now.

[larryfulkerson]

This is what it looks like around the Pskov area right now. I'm optimistic that I can work my way through all the Soviet defenders.

[larryfulkerson]

I made it across the main river and now I'm fighting to get across another river to push to the east. The supply levels are in
the low teens and I may have to put a hold on the advance for a turn or two to allow for better supply levels. It's contingent
on the condition of the front line troops.

[larryfulkerson]

I've made some progress near Pskov. The supply levels are in the mid-teens at the tip of the spear. More and more Soviet
reinforcements are starting to show up at the front lines.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's what it looks like around Smolensk right now. Supply levels are excellent in this AO so far.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's what it looks like around Kiev right now. I've got a lot of Soviet defenders guarding Kiev but I have units further
north that are getting on the east side of the river and they are headed this way.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's a list of the units I have lost so far. I'm loosing HRS squads a lot faster than I'm building them.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's a look at the AO just to the NE of Kiev and you can see how I'm getting across the river in several places. The supply
levels aren't so terribly great...the mid-20's.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's another look at Smolensk. I made some small progress this turn in this AO.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's a look at Odessa. I'm on the verge of getting into the Crimea.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's a look at the Pskov area in T11. The rails are repaired all the way to Narva near the bottleneck up north and I'm going
to repair the rails south from there down to Pskov. The supply level near the tip of the spear is in the high teens. All my
planes are green except one bomber unit. I still have 33K HRS's assigned so losses must have been low to moderate. We're into
late July so I expect the weather to start turning colder soon. I've started using Riga to rest the tired planes and I've
moved OKH there to encourage the aircrews. So far so good.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's what it looks around the Bryansk area right now. Supply is in the high teens in this AO.

[larryfulkerson]

I finally captured Smolensk in T11. It was expensive in that I lost more troops and equipment than I would have hoped. But
the Soviets lost a lot of supurb equipment...tanks and aircraft as well as LCU's. Supply is in the low 40's near Smolensk and
drops to the low 20's at the tip of the spear in other areas. I have about a dozen bombers that are still green and about 2
dozen fighters that are green but everybody else is resting. In other words about 70% of the air fleet is resting. The
Soviets are putting up a better fight than before. Their air shock is now 75% and mine is 120% but those numbers are going to
change in the near future.

[larryfulkerson]

This is what it looks like in the Leningrad area right now. Notice that I have only one attack left for this turn, probably.
About half of the aircraft are green, mostly fighters. I've been using the bombers fairly heavily for the past few turns and
they are showing some wear and tear. The Soviets have boosted their AS upward for the past several turns and my fighters are
starting to show the same wear and tear. I still have 33K HRS's assigned and 1300+ on hand so I'm going to continue the
advance all over the map. As soon as the LCU's start showing a decrease in strength I'll have to put a halt to the operations
in selected sectors of the front lines. I need to monitor the strength of the units because I want to be fully prepaired for the Soviet Winter Offensive in about T40 or so I think.

[larryfulkerson]

I'm getting across the river just NE of Kiev and that means I need to sweep south as well as east so I can try to destroy all
the Soviet units up against the river on the east side of it. So far so good.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's what it looks like around D-town and Z-town now. I'm breaking into the Crimea further south. Odessa is slowly
collapsing. Supply in this AO is in the low teens but the railhead is getting closer all the time. I've been using the Corps
HQ units to help repair the rail and so far the railheads aren't very far away from the tip of the spear all over the map. All
my aircraft are green but some of them need rest because they are lower than 50% in supply and I'd like to keep them at least
that high.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's what the front lines look like at the end of T13. I have no idea whether or not I'm on schedule with what happened in real life.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's what it looks like up north right now. I'm in the process of removing all the Soviet units on the north coast just west
of Leningrad. Then I'll be able to tackle the stacks of Soviet units guarding the city. Too bad the Finns have to stop short
at the stop line because the way is open for them to move south. Supply levels are great. About a dozen of my planes are
resting, mostly bombers.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the view just east of Smolensk. I'm pushing to the east but there's more Soviet defenders then there used to be and
they are being a pain in the ass. Supply is in the low 20's in this AO. I've found about 3 separate Soviet units while
converting all the bypassed enemy hexes. I had to divert some units from the front lines to deal with some of them.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's what it looks like around Bryansk right now. The railheads are already flush with the front lines. The supply level is
in the 40's. I'm resting the tired planes at Riga using OKH for the encouragement of the aircraft, but I'm thinking of moving
the resting spot to Minsk to get it closer to the front lines. I've already dug in OKH so it will have to wait for next turn.
