high own losses, stupid production setup for Baku area
and only limited attacks (mostly artillery and air) in my own turn.

Baku will die and there is nothing i can do against. At least things look good near Helsinki.

Reorganized the Riga front (not sure, but it might be a complete new front)

Need staff support and artillery for my attack on Riga and my Leningrad front HQ is still
busy at Helsinki.

Stalingrad looks good, but it´s depressing to look at the dying Baku.
Will i lose it after all the hard fights over more than a year ?

As the situation in Finland turns from bad to hopeless, all eyes of the German High Command are focused on the South. If successful there, this war might still be fought to a stalemate. If not, then defeat is certain, only the time-frame will then be left to speculate about.

The Russians moves all their artillery towards Helsinki so that city is doomed, but at least it means they aren't already shifting their heavy weapons towards Riga.

Status: offline 		The Central section of the front is a scene from Paradise. The last battles have taken place over half a year ago and the civilian population is slowly getting used to German rule. However, for those being able to get some news on the fighting in the East, the loss of Stalingrad to the Russians is a dark omen for the future.

In the Crimea, fighting now erupts in earnest as an SS division is directed into the area in order to break the deadlock.

Status: offline 		With the eyes of all Germany upon them, the Romanians (how ironic) execute Operation "Citadel", the largest set-piece battle of this war. Russian resistance unexpectedly collapses quickly under the weight of the attacks and these are then immediately exploited by mobile forces. Within a week, the once-proud Maikop Front is torn up into pieces fighting for survival. The fall of Baku is now a certainty, but will it be in time to save the German army in Russia? Or has their production capacity already created a gap too great to close?

And why hasn't AG South moved its planes out of harm's way? A mistake with potential catastrophic consequences...

This is probably the most important one for the Russians !
It was not only the Fall of Helsinki....

The production.

All defenders are now dead or POW.

Now i´ll focus at getting Riga. The artillery from Helsinki is on their way as well as
several new guns. And i keep my planes in the area to protect these valuable
assets.

At this time i also already thought about moving forward with my center forces, but i had
no clear picture for the strength of german center troops. And i had a lot of respect
looking at the masses of fortifications....

But then there would be no way for this game to last 60 turns is it? Nope, scratch this one ... :_(

Just as I thought I was slowly getting in control of the situation, I screwed up. Seille destroyed the air base shattering all hopes of a possible victory in this match.

Things are a lot easier now mentally, as I only need to enjoy the coming 20 turns without embarrassing myself too much. Perhaps Seille will make a monumental mistake as well, although, having come to know his playing style, this is very unlikely.

In the Crimea I start squeezing the defenders into the "corner".

Status: offline 		As AG South starts pulling back across the Donetz, its position in front of Rostov is heavily fortified so the supply lines into the Caucasus remain intact.

The Romanians finally take Baku and start worrying about a potential new Russian Front building up to take back Baku from the North.

Seems that you and Seille are making a great AAR-generator!

I'm reading it like a novel. Great work!

A quiet one from my side. Only some little attacks in front of Riga.
In the south mostly artillery and air activity.
After the loss of Baku i have to build up a new defense north of Baku to protect
the flank of my Stalingrad front and later recapture Baku.
But this will be a hard piece of work since the romanian army group
is the strongest the germans have. The only with strong air and artillery support left.

Started my attack on Riga with attacking the fortifivations first.
Riga is well defended, but my attackers are well prepared.
Enought artillery and air support available now.
