Center
Remains of the Mogilev pocket are still alive. Other than reducing the pocket, only limited German advance in the center sector. This time I have rather retreated behind next river because I can not afford to lose more units now.

New pocket in the south and another 7 rifle divisions will be doomed next turn in Kiev. I decided to not retreat from Kiev because Panzers would have been able to cut them next turn anyway. In Kiev they can at least survive for few turns.

Kiev still not isolated, Odessa firmly in Soviet hands, the situation in south is not that bad but many units have been lost and I have very limited replacements now.

One river line broken, order of the day retreat behind next river. Center sector is gaining from the missing Panzer Korps that were moved to south. Thus the south is another story.

Kiev finally isolated, will try to keep it alive as long as possible via air supply. Unfortunately Panzers were able to cross two river line. On the bright side the second river is still in Soviet hands.

Nice squeeze West of Poltava. I would be doing more of this, his flanks are loose.

It may look so but the opposite is true. I am loosing to many troops. OOB is around 4-4.2M.
Yes his flank security is nearly non-existent but I failed miserably to exploit it.
We are currently on T14 and few more disasters did happen. I am really afraid what I will see on T14.

Grinding continues but I underestimated the digging capacity. Leningrad is lost case.

Another pocket, this one was really unexpected. Southern sector is close to collapse. Dnepropetrovsk abandoned as I can't afford to loose any more divisions. At least I was lucky with weather and next week will be mud.

I was once again surprised by the Panzers. With the clear weather back my line was broken and I lost Shliselburg. This early it means there is no hope for Leningrad.

Germans advanced little bit just to reach my lines. West of Tula, Panzers made little bridgehead across Oka but I've been able to seal this small breach.

The pocket has been cleared in one turn and immediately followed new catastrophe. 2 complete Armies were encircled. This time I fought back. Around half of the 1. Panzer Gruppe is isolated and/or their supply lines are contest with ZOC. If it will not work the South Front will collapse.

This turn I was again lucky with mud in north weather zone. Unfortunately I don't have strength to destroy that 2 IDs surrounded in previous week. At least they will suffer from attrition and morale hit.

Zaporozhye pocket reopened once again. I took the risk only because forecast for next week in south is mud. I have been probably very lucky with mud 3 weeks in a row.
