Barbarossa - Vassal - Madness - Turn 9

The storms in the north develop into rain producing mud, but in the centre the weather clears to a nice dry July 8/9.  Will the rain be too late to save Daugavpils?  Conversely will the dry weather allow the Axis to cut off the Soviets as they escape from Minsk?

AGC sends six Luftwaffe units to AGN.  This will take a few days, but there seemed to be an imbalance in air asset allocation between the Army Groups.

AGN struggle in the mud to try and capture Daugavpils ,

they failed this time.

AGC tries to surround Minsk as the Soviets slip away.

Situation at the end of the turn.

It is hard to tell from these images, but the Soviets are strong in the north around Pskov, but weak in the centre.  However significant reinforcements are on their way.
