any troops going to Baku must now book a sea passage.
You have done a good turn. Very interesting turn to watch, thanks to sharing it.
Checking your last map, there are more than 15 high CV German units, which could possibly reach the gate of Makhachkara next turn, so they might be ready for making deliberate attacks at your defense in T56.
If that is the case, then the limit units you ship to Makhachkara the next turn is not likely to hold the line, the question, therefore, is whether you could hold the Axis at the next line at Derbent. I think it is clear that defeat troops is not possible to ward off the next offense, excetially with so many Germany PzD massing there. The situation there can quickly develop into a land slide victory for Germany.
The only reserve troops you could get, is the Karasnoda army. Perhaps you should at least get the troops which are holding the Mountains near Sukhumi on Rail towards Derbent once the Makchchkara line is under heavy pressure. I guess the railing should be available because BAKU is a permanent supply source?
Regarding the Rail cutting, I think that If the AXIS really be careful, it might not be difficult to secure a intact rail line, they are the stronger army and they got an entire new Italy army as reinforcement in T53, which should reach the front in T54 ( but very strangely they are missing in your Map). In fact, I think that if the AXIS just rout out everything on the way, rather than trying to kill some units, he might have secured the intact rail this turn, as many of his units are at wasteful position. He certainly made a big strategy error in T54 and waste a turn.
In short, it looks you are not likely to hold Baku by the shipped units alone, you might need the units at Karasnoda and Sukhumi. By Railing, they may reach the most matter position than the Germany infantry, which in turn bid time for more reinforcement from shipping.
Holding Baku is the most matters, you certainly have much fun in Karasnoda, but that is strategically wrong.
There is a port in Tuapse, which your Karasnoda Army is holding, by shipping some units via the Black Sea to the Batumi port in T55, they could then be Railed to Baku in T56, if the Rail at Tiblist isn't being cut at the time.
