Trial of Strength - December'44

Richard and I got in another three turns of this epic game today.  With snow freeze now in place there was a bit more action, limited breakthroughs, but some interesting developments.

The beginning of December sees the newly arrived "Leningrad Front"
 open up an offensive on the Black Sea coast.
Note: the hexes with numbered chits 
represent where battles of attrition have been occuring.

The success in the south will have immediate and far reaching consequences.
Reinforcements are also arriving from the now completed Finish front.

Bulgaria has joined the Soviets and Romania has agreed to an armistice!
Supply is a major factor in stopping any rapid exploitation of these developments.
The chits with U open to the right are Soviets, open to the left are Romanian.
Getting supply means repairing/converting the railroads 
and with winter it takes two turns to repair one hex.  
Supply range is only 3 and the mountainous terrain counts as two.  
The railheads are a long way back in the south.
The war of attrition has finally created a breech near Lublin (where the black NKVD counter is )
