The Bf-110's don't fly, not that it would have made any difference as the Soviet fighters efficiently dispatch the Stukas.

Rail moves:
3-1 GAR from Danzig Poland to port Aarhus in Denmark.
3-3 ART from Spain to Rumania (same hex with Rumanian HQ).
ENG from Saragossa to Rumania (same hex with Rommel).

That's me done for the evening. Over to Mayhemizer.

The best unit in this game, 2nd Ski div from Finland, cuts Murmansk rail road.

Germany declares 5 attacks with all the remaining planes in range. All HQs in attacks uses HQ support.

Edit: I forgot from picture: Germany uses 4 factor HQ support in attack west of Kaunas (25.5:4).

Does USSR want to send any of their planes?

No thank-you.

HQ support fails only in Cernauti attack.

I believe USSR chooses assault in Cernauti?

First one goes well.

Hex taken with some losses.

I considered this as the most important attack this impulse. ARM HQ and MOT are able to breakthrough to NE.

Hex taken, all units are disorganized.

Great impulse from Wehrmacht once again! All I need to do now is roll low enough to end this turn.

Situation after land combat and rebase.

Edit: Germany rebases Bf110 from northern France to Turin, Stuka from Germany to east of Bordeaux, Rumanian bomber to Bucharest and Bf109 to cover Rundstedt in north of Priper Marshes.

Turn ends on a 5!

Good night to all [>:]

Units destroyed during M/A 1942.

This attack actually gave the USSR a net gain of 3 BP as this hex is considered part of Russia's Home Country I believe.

Mar/Apr '42
End of Turn

Another partisan appears in France blocking a second resource.

Indeed. But this attack opened up the route into USSR, and if Germany win the initiative they can wreak havoc on the Soviet forces.

The possibility of snow had eluded the Soviet Chief of Staff when he issued orders, somewhat altered from the directives received from the Commander in Chief.

The Staff now awaits their fate.
