Some other Romanians fight better further north and force the surrender of Kiev.

Advancing to contact at Kharkov. There is a lot of empty space to take in this area. Kharkov is well defended but the line is not continuous.
A motorized regiment drives completely around Kursk but I don't have enough units to actually pocket it. The defenders can just walk out next turn (should they so choose).

I just have to know.
You changed your picture(Avatar) a little bit ago to Sherman.
Sherman of course took and burned Atlanta and marched to the sea devastating the South.
I just want to make Soviet Georgia howl! Evicting their favorite son from the Kremlin should probably do it.
Got to love this! 100% like the reference.

T8 Moscow

The improvised Soviet screen is not strong enough to cope with the combined forces of PG2 and PG3. Steiner advances through the breach and across the Moskva river, right into Moscow's outskirts. The Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Estonian, Dutch, Belgian and German volunteers take turns looking at the Kremlin's spires through their officers' binoculars.
Small pockets are created at Tula, Vyazma and Naro-Fominsk while the arduous task of clearing the Kaluga pocket begins.

On the Leningrad front AGN advances laboriously against the copious Soviet reinforcements through the thickening mud. One division pocketed, a few ZOC locked. Luga is captured, Pskov surrenders and the Narva line is breached at one point.

Moscow's supply network shattered on turn 8 ! Heinz Guderian would be envious.

Red Army barely fielding 2 million men and less than 2000 AFV's, holy hell if this game last to December I cant see the First Winter being any sought of problem.

Well, this is not "Georgia" but it looks just as bad.

The OOB stats makes it seem like a crushing victory. Well played.

The game is "no early end" with the earliest victory only possible on turn 185, we are not even 10% of the way to that point

As far as I can tell, the Soviets did not disband any units so far in this game.

Unfortunately AGN did not get a break from the rain. The front shifted ever so slightly from the prediction, but just enough to keep up the light mud on the way to Leningrad:
