So my assessment is that the German's are doing pretty well. It's not the supercharged air-dropped fuel exploit that brings the Wehrmacht to Gorky on turn 10, but they're still in with a good chance of taking Leningrad and Moscow before the mud. My grand strategy, as I may have mentioned last go, is to cut it as fine as possible in the north and centre and overprotect the south. The reasoning is simple, and possibly simplistic: in the north the defensive terrain is better, and the urban hexes of Moscow are so formidable that a defence naturally has an anchor. Then there are all those rivers and marshes and forests and canals and reservoirs to help out with the line. In the south, there are only a series of minor river lines, which are labour intensive to defend. I would like to tempt my opponent into a complex battle of encirclement and counter encirclement, with enough forces to keep it going for four or five turns, after which there won't be enough time to get much beyond Kharkov, nor transfer mechanised unit to the centre. This plan has worked before, and we are in a fairly good position to try it again.
