Three rounds this turn.  I gained a hex or two here and there.  One of the places was just SouthWest of Leningrad by the Lake:

My opponent moved some of his units South of Smolensk to the east in an effort to straighten out the lines and I heroically moved my units to the east as well to be next to his:

I tried a daring daylight crossing of the river SE of Kiev only to meet the best the Soviets had to offer:

Odessa fell finally.  The question remains:  Can the Axis hold onto it?  :

My opponent found a smallish bug in that even after the city supply points were released they wouldn't move.  I decided I was overloaded in PBEM games and so we abandonded our game.  I think Ken Miller would have won eventually.  He's a good player.
