well, you're still hanging in there - guess it depends on if these gains collapses your entire defense once the weather clears ..

The one in the north will. Not that concerned about the one in the south.

Turn 202

Overall
Thankfully the mud reduces the amount of USSR attacks, although they do push some in the south where the USSR still had clear weather. 16 USSR attacks gave a result of 10 helds, 5 retreats and 1 surrender.

Losses
USSR : 56.000 troops, 623 guns, 338 AFVs, 582 AC.
Axis : 52.000 troops, 792 guns, 176 AFVs, 116 AC.
Flew a lot of recon, hence the high number of lost AC.

Axis units destroyed
24th Pz.Div, 20th SS Grenadier Division, 299th Volksgrenadier Division.

German units disbanded
12 Fortified Zones, 24th Pz.Div, 20th SS Grenadier Division, 299th Volksgrenadier Division.

Hey Terje, good to see you holding out to the bitter end as usual. I'm doing a little bit of rebalancing with the editor at the moment and was hoping that you could post a screen shot of your production screen (or zipped save game) so I can see which elements are in overabundance in late game.

Crap. Mud is gone in the north. That is bad news!
The USSR made 2 attacks and scored 2 helds, while our 5 attacks scored 3 helds and 2 retreats. 2 of the helds are ok, the third...350% multiplier of the USSR CV...

Losses
USSR : 53.000 troops, 513 guns, 175 AFVs, 241 AC.
Axis : 18.000 troops, 184 guns, 53 AFVs, 15 AC.

Turn 204 aka I hate to be right

Overall
Remember how I said it was bad news that the mud was gone? I was right...Just see below. We are now very near the end here. Mud again now, but still very near the end...
56 USSR attacks gave a result of 32 helds, 22 retreats and 2 routs.

Losses
USSR : 103.000 troops, 1.667 guns, 559 AFVs, 1.402 AC.
Axis : 55.000 troops, 1.284 guns, 193 AFVs, 119 AC.
Heavy losses all around. Had this been one week against the RAF in the BoB, the RAF would have been destroyed in this week alone...

Axis units destroyed
None.

German units disbanded
3 Fortified Zones.

Turn 205

Overall
The mud still holds, which gives us another turn to live. In the south we do give up the city of Gorlitz as it is surrounded on 5 sides by the USSR. The units cut off in the north is the target of USSR attacks, and we lose quite a few since northern Germany is not connected with Denmark here [:D].
28 USSR attacks meant 18 helds, 2 scouted, 7 retreats and 1 surrender.

Losses
USSR : 68.000 troops, 777 guns, 267 AFVs, 644 AC.
Axis : 48.000 troops, 677 guns, 64 AFVs, 46 AC.

Axis units destroyed
117th Jager Division, 76th Inf.Div, 227th Inf.Div, 904th StuG Brigade, 46th Pioneer Battalion, 50th Pioneer Battalion, 5/46th SP Flak Company..

German units disbanded
1 Fortified Zone, 563rd Volksgrenadier Division, and the 92nd Motorized Brigade. We also merged the 15th Inf.Div, 153rd Inf.Div, 75th Volksgrenadier Division into other divisions.

From the manual in regards of victory conditions;
Major Soviet Victory - If Germany surrenders between 1/1/45 and 5/31/45. 
Minor Soviet Victory - If Germany surrenders between 6/30/45 and 9/30/45.

What happens if I surrender between 6/1/45 and 6/29/45 (or 1/6/45 and 29/6/45 which ofc makes more sense for us Europeans [:D]).
Do I win? [:D]
