You all know this is the favorite chart of turn 1!

I've substantially improved my turn 1 air kill rate. Learned to progress a few airbases and then air move forward unused dive bombers and fighters.

Lewis does a good job placing strong tanks divisions and Mot inf divisions to slow push.

They may get bypassed, but the positions will hinder movement until they surrender.

I thus push forward and reseal the pocket

road to Smolensk does not progress far. Believe tanks were low on fuel. Move up infantry.

depending upon supply, we will see how far we go next turn.
