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.

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 [;)]

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]
