Losses for Jan/Feb 1943.

End of turn is done but I do not have the time to post about it until later this evening. Axis won the initiative roll with a 8 against the Allied roll of 9.

Axis has to decide whether they go first, or not. Although Axis might need some end of turn information before deciding this.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

We start to think about this...

AllenK has not been online, so I make call to Axis go first.

Germany needs to react USSR attack by counter attack. Germany prepares to push USSR forces back 10-20 hexes during this turn [;)]

[AllenK]

Happy with the call.

Shouldn't be all that hard. There are 10-20 empty hexes between the Soviet lines and the German lines. [;)] The difficulty will be in keeping them. [:D]
