Barbarossa Turn 47 Completed and Turn 48 Partial

This session starts with some Soviet attacks in the centre.

Northwest of Moscow.

Southwest of Moscow.

The situation at the end of Turn 47

North - Leningrad.

We are essentially ignoring this front having not appreciated the supply rules

and the off-putting scale change mental gymnastics required for the insert map.

Centre - Moscow.

Axis have broken the Soviet lines, top left-hand corner.

South - Kharkov.

Odessa and Crimea.

Turn 48

The weather for 24 and 25 September is fine across the whole front.

The Axis is widening the breakthrough northwest of Moscow.

The action is reminiscent of the opening days of the campaign.

Maintaining the pressure southwest of Moscow.

Army Group South trying to smash through the Soviet defence line.

Odessa continues to hold out.

The game is now providing resources for the Axis in Crimea, no longer for this spot.

The Axis air force in the south is too weak to contest the Black Sea.

The edge of the map denies the Axis critical attack hexes.

So not expecting this city to fall.

It goes into the Talin too hard basket.
