Status: offline 		This is just after the first round of combat in turn 4. Just a couple ( few ) places left to mop-up and the rest of Riga to capture. There's
about 14 Soviet armoured cars still alive in that Soviet recon unit and I'm pretty sure if I fire one round short and one round long then
they might just surrender. Otherwise we'll have to overrun them, everybody moving all at once toward their position. Sure they will get
a couple of us but they will die just the same.

looking for danger.

Status: offline 		Here's an action shot from just south of the marshes. I've finally supressed the Soviet road block and my recon is zooming east and
he's followed by an armoured column. I've got three RR engineers on the upper left corner there and they are ALMOST keeping up
with the front lines which is a good thing. I can't get too far away from an active rail or I run out of supply and the attacking has to stop.
I've done an end run around the north end of the Stalin Line and I intend to wrap around it and spread out and grab for territory and
look for Reds.

EDIT: I see Soviet armour in this image. That means that Dan is sacraficing his armour to buy some time. He's going to get a boat-load
of tanks later I know, it just seems like such a waste having to use them on the defensive mode. Their best attribute is their speed and
ability to dash into opportunities quickly. They aren't being used to their best advantage when you have to use them defensively.

I'm flowing like water into the least resistance area, surrounding Soviet units.

I did get an exact list of what Soviet equipment is there. I'm going to have to bomb that place for a long time to whittle it down enough
to attack it with the land combat units ( LCU's ) .

Status: offline 		Dan has floated some Soviet CD's to Finland soil and I have no troops handy to fight them off. They can move 1 hex per day when they
move and I don't worry so much of an invasion or anything like that. I need some Axis ships up here to bombard them for a couple of
months. Soften them up a bit. THEN attack. I got the muddy end of the stick in this attack. I think I might re-think my tactics here for
a couple of turns. See if there's a better way to go about this. Maybe use the airplanes on them.

Status: offline 		Here's the air war display after the end of round two's combat phase. I've been doing a lot of ground strikes and it's bumped my
losses up considerably. That was to be expected but I'm wondering if it's getting too expensive to do anymore this turn.

positions but it was too big to post. Lemme monkey w/ it and I'll see what I can get to post.

beginning of T5 before anybody has moved.

Status: offline 		I've grabbed and repaired the two bridges in the yellow circles below and w/ Riga that makes at least three working bridges across the
river. It's about time......it's turn 5 already and I'm only just now getting bridges in place. I'm going to have to rail some RR engineers
up to this part of the theater to help catch up w/ the front lines here. The front line is way ahead of where the railhead is now.

happen to get to them all yet. I won the race this time and now I'm across two rivers and next stop is the Soviet rear areas.

Status: offline 		I did one of those bridge-too-far things just north of Kiev. I dropped paratroopers at or near the bridges I'm going to need to get to the
river that passes through Kiev. There's another river to the east of that one and there isn't a whole lot of maneuvoring room there to
go around. I'm really going to need the bridges to make the best speed. I'm bumping up against a Soviet roadblock and therefore I'm
going to have to take the high road and meanwhile do something about the roadblock.

the wall. I'm going to have to find a good stopping point for the front line and give my boys a breather. It's a long war. The Soviets
will still be there when I get back from my day off.

Status: offline 		This must be my lucky day. I've stumbled upon an intact bridge w/o any roadblocks and everything. It's ready to be used to get across
the river. I might not be able to hold the position very long however, since the unit holding it is just AA guns.

the Soviet front lines in this area in two parts. Now if I only had some units to pour through the gap.

As soon as I hit the Soviet lines I'll have to hold things up and refit just a tiny bit. My guys are getting tired and they need a break.

Status: offline 		I went to the kitchen to get another cup of coffee and when I came back I saw an incipient disaster. I've gotten overconfident or
something because I've let my recon units get way to far out ahead of the direct combat units and therefore they are w/o support.
I'm going to have make changes.

Status: offline 		Here's the south end of the front lines, well not quite all the way south, mostly south of the marshes though. Anyway, I've made my
way around the north end of the Stalin Line and I've swamped the south end of the Stalin Line and so it's surrounded and we're going
to continue the advance if possible.

Status: offline 		Here's a particularly severe thorn in my side. Dan has gotten some of those Fort things on my beach near Kotka. Their movement
rate is 1 per turn so I'm not especially worried about an invasion but they do need to go. I'm going to see if I can't round up some
Finn infantry to lend to this project.

Status: offline 		Here's a shot of the Gomel area. This is the site of a confluence of rivers and there's plenty of crossings and some of them are not
broken yet. I was all excited getting across two separate rivers in one spot and then I come to another broken bridge and the parade
has to stop. I don't have any engineer units up front so the advance is delayed for a while until I can get that bridge repaired. This
reminds me of the time the Americans almost got to the Grave bridge in "A Bridge Too Far" and were so close they could see it as it
was blown up by the Germans. D'oh.
