I will post some screenshots from turn 13. Quick comment on the game up to that point. I was never able to achieve any major pockets other than the starting ones. My opponent was very good at pulling back when he needed to and I wasted a lot of HQBU's in this game. But I would make pockets every turn, but they would be small and spread out in different places on the front. The strategy of my opponent was to stack the Leningrad defense which started at the Luga river. I arrived there at turn 4, but I dont think I crossed it until around turn 10. My opponent would also when abandoning defensive lines always leave atleast 1 unit in cities or urban hexes, which was easy gains for my infantry. In some cases it was good for him, but most cases I would love to kill more counters. His stacked Leningrad defense took most of his units from the South so it was lightly defended and I made big gains here. Most of his defense would end up being in front of Leningrad and Moscow which made the progress slow here. At the cost of this concentrated defense, I crossed the Dnepr uncontested north of prypiat marshes. In the Area between Gomel, Kursk and Tula (russian steppes?) was almost complety undefended, so I sent 2 infantry corps to clean up the area and they only met rare resistance which was mostly in the cities. (free encirlements) I had little experience with the central battle and the battle for Moscow, but my plan in general was to encircle as many units as possible and hopefully grab Moscow in time. This is also where I sent all my reinforments after turn 2. My opponent made a blunder in Leningrad, where he built forts to late so the Finns were able to capture Osinovets. Considering this and the stacked Luga defense I decided to head east of Lake Ilmen to try to capture as many of the defenders as possible. Following will be pictures of the entire front. I did not take a front wide picture, but I will post smaller pictures that will in total cover the entire front.
