Fighter reinforcements are arriving every turn, and every turn they are getting blown out of the sky.

The British launch another big port attack on Brest. With only one defending fighter, and a weak Me-210 at that, they figure they have a chance this time. Their target is the German aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin, about to be joined by a sister ship, the Peter Strasser. The British can't allow the Germans to have two carriers running around. They get the surprise points and the Me-210 is aborted. The AA fire is desultory and has little effect. The Beauforts dive down on to their target...

Status: offline 		With no useful defensive terrain available any more the Soviets decide to create more 'Hero Cities' and will try to keep the southern Urals pocket as a fortress pair of cities. Trouble is that if Novosibirsk falls, far to the east but much harder to defend, the Soviet Union will surrender. This means that the Germans can run for Novosibirsk and virtually ignore this group of units if they want.

Note that in this image the strange supply issue - Manstein is clearly in supply but for some reason the units near him don't think he's any use. As soon as I move him it recalculates and they're in supply again. Strange.

Status: offline 		Desperate to keep Sverdlovsk at least for one more turn to give Novosibirsk a chance, the Soviets plead for all Allies to pass. It didn't work before but maybe it will this time? A 40% chance - mmmn might be worth taking. They decide to go for it - after all there's no moves that they're going to miss out on making, in fact there are hardly any units worth moving at all. They hit the button...
