My thoughts FWIW:

1. Absolutely crush the Soviets in the 1941 summer and fall; yes - this does hurt them
2.�Force evacuations of as many HI/armament/population centers as possible
3. Do not get emotionally attached to anything in Russia; come the fall = fall back.
4. Fall back, fall back west to jump off positions for the Spring Offensive 1942.
5. Prepare a nice trap for the advancing Soviets come the spring. The real Barbarossa should begin in the Spring of 1942 - the following winters/blizzards are much easier to handle. Unless you can totally win in 1941 (you can't and won't), then it is not productive to destroy the Wehrmacht in 1941 and then try to rebuild it in early 1942.
6. Take Leningrad in 1941 if only disprupt Soviet production; also free up the Finns. Alternatively throw everything at Moscow but this means not doing much in the South or North.
7. Remember: Barbarossa starts in 1942; 1941 is foreplay.

Makes a lot of sense

1 Easy to recommend

2 Priority now should be be to catch a few factories. In my GC my opponent is very Sir Robinovitch so I've destoyed factories in Minsk, Mogilev and Kremenchug and am hoping my reinforced mot div manages to stay next to Dnepropetrovsk in Russian T7. He's vacated almost all Leningrad factories but I think he left some tank or others partly behind which will cut future production but am not sure as it's not my turn and it's a server game.

He's also losing a lot of manpower though no decent pockets sinc T1 has kept losses down but I suspect only temporarily as all my inf now in front line.
