Turn Five done. The northern frnt has taken a heck of a pounding, but the germans haven't gotten very much farther in terms of territory. it's the center that worries me; as i was watching the playback of Foo's turn I found myself asking "Where the bloody heck did all those Germans come from?" (The obvious and snarky answer: Germany.) Of course, I knew a lot of troops had disappeared into thre Pripiat marshes where I couldn't see them, but still they hit the center hard. Odessa was finally taken by the Germans. The worrisome thing about the southern front is that my reinforcements will have to get all the way there from Moscow -- which is the same problem i have reinforcing the north, only much, much worse. All the while Dr. Foo assures me I'm doing fine, and that I might actually be winning. And the Germans have such touch victory conditions that he may be right -- that simply slowing down and stopping the assault is enough for a Soviet win in this scenario.
