Nirosi -> RE: Boldairade (Allies) vs Nirosi (Axis). No Boldairade for now (2/6/2022 10:29:49 PM)

November 5th, 1943 (End of Axis turn) In the Soviet Union, the front remained very quiet. Did Stavka morale collapse and lost its will to fight, or is the Red Army preparing something? OKW ordered OKL to send back a fighter group to Germany to help fight Allied bomber incursions. In the Baltic, the German fleet engaged the Soviet one after returning from a mediocre hunting in the Norwegian Sea. The Kirov Group has been reported hit in the long range combat on November 12th, but the exact status of the Soviet fleet is not clear. In the Mediterranean, the Allies seem content for now to cover the Mareth Line but do not seem too eager to assault it. OKW can only speculate that either their troops are at low readiness due to supply overstretch or are needed for something else. For now, local commanders are happy with the situation as the Axis has little reserves, all Italians, in the back of the line should it be breached. In Greece, some tactical bombing occurred on our mountain troops near Athens. Could it be a preparation for an offensive or are the Allies still afraid we might be planning one ourselves? For now, just in case, the XIX Panzer Corps will stays put until the newly mobilised XXI Mountain Corps, just arrived in the area, finishes been equipped with top-of-the-line equipment. When this will be done, three mountain corps will cover the door into the continent from Athens. In the meanwhile, the XIX Panzer Corps will stay put ready to be shipped out at short notice if necessary. In other news, the LI Corps sent to Italy after been severely mauled in early October in the USSR, will not be overhauled. OKW has decided that it will be put to better use by been split into its core divisions (each now at brigade strength in truth) and sent to Baltic ports to act as deterrents against amphibious operations.
