Personal take you defense of the South picture is a disaster waiting to happen..you have a massive amount of troops way west of the German advance...and another army to the far west for Grozny, completely out of position and in an area frankly no German player has an interest in going. All those units should be on the river line to the east of Grozny which you left basically open. That alone would have prevents the one turn disaster on the coast you suffered as it would have taken MP and attacks to shift even weak units all away from that river line east of Grozny.

Additionally....you have about 2 entire armies of wasted manpower hanging out still by the crimea defending real estate that is basically worthless if the German advance keeps making progress east and to the south....as they can screen all those troops off with italians and romanians and a couple weak German infantry divisions. Which are useless for taking ground anyway.

Those awesome mountain divisions= much better units not hanging out screening Romanians......Those are key units to key defense spots, not chilling out as a holding action.

Getting the tank corps to powerful units is a long crawl. The slow increase in national moral for 1942 and 1943 means the corps morale can bump up here and there, which should help MPs. Up to three support units can be directly attached to the corps, helping the CV a bit.
