Yes, but not until the next impulse. Its a calculated gamble I know, but they still have a lot of units out of position. One more impulse should seem them at the start lines.

The Germans do not attack the Soviets this turn. They need to get some additional units in place first. With that done - all they can do is pray to the god of weather dice...

Really not too much for the Allies to do. There is only a 20% chance of the Turn ending if they all pass but no reason not to try frankly....

....6 - the turn continues. Worse for the Allies, the weather is a 10 - Fine everywhere!

No, I'm not paying to much attention to the U-boat war (or any attacks on convoys) until the next patch comes out.

Why they declared war on Greece eludes me. Nothing at all for them to gain here. Except trouble and partisan hunting.

All part of my Mediterranean strategy that went hopelessly wrong in Spain, but I thought I'd stick with the Eastern prong.

Just the two attacks this impulse as the Germans seek to punch a hole in the Soviet defences by establishing bridgeheads across the Neman.

Mar/Apr 1942
Impulse: 9

Aircraft are brought into bring both attacks up to 4:1.

For the attack in Lithuania, Fractional Odds bring the combat up to 5:1 with a +3 modifier on the Blitz table....

...the result is a 6(9). The Soviets lose a division and an infantry corps, the second corps is shattered. I convert to retreat.

The second attack is a little more tricky. There are no modifiers and Fractional Odds do not change the 4:1....

...The result is a 1! The Germans lose a unit (no cheap unit either

) and are all disorganised.

The Germans have little choice but to use Manstein to reorganise the disorganised units.

There is a 50% chance of the turn ending if the Allies use just one action. They go for it; the Soviets will move - everyone else will pass.

Mar/Apr 1942
Impulse: 10

Because of the devastating nature of the ground strikes the Soviets are in a bit of a mess in the Baltics. Zhukov completes his rail movement from the Far East to Riga, and a line (of sorts) is formed.

The turn does not end - but General Winter comes to the aid of the Soviets. The die roll is a 1....

The Axis are unable to achieve much that impulse. The turn does not end but the Allies then pass with all powers to guarantee ending of the turn.

The War Appropriations Bill is passed - World War II could be about to start anytime now!
