Status: offline 		Start of turn 59, a very deep and dangerous breakthrough by the Panzer troops south of Boguchar. Stavka is very concerned that the German plan is to then drive South to Rostov creating a massive pocket, which would be disastrous for the Red Army, leaving the Caucasus and Stalingrad defenseless.

Status: offline 		Why do you have all those units on the northern side of the Don? Did you just not have the MP needed to get them across the river?

General note: You have quite the impressive force. I am surprised (but pleased) to see the Germans could make such good progress against such a huge army. (I am glad to see that the Germans are still able to conduct an offensive in 1942. It is also interesting that they went with Case Blue, just as they did historically.)

Status: offline 		By the end of turn all the units North of the Don were moved South of the Don, agreed a much better defensive position. The last zoomed out screen shot for Turn 62 was done at the end of the turn showing that all the units set up defensive positions south of the Don.

My opponent Pitaman has concentrated all his Panzer and Motorized divisions into one huge 'Panzerball' - with such a concentration of massive offensive firepower he can breakthrough the Soviet defenses anywhere he wishes - a very effective tactic.

Status: offline 		Another view at the beginning of the turn showing the large Panzer breakthrough just North of Boguchar. My opponent has concentrated all his Panzer and Motorized divisions into one huge offensive force, with this force he can breakthrough anywhere he decides to attack. A very difficult tactic to defend against as a Soviet player, even defenses 4 layers deep cannot stop the breakthrough.

Status: offline 		The Garrison at Sevastopol finally surrenders after a heroic fight. My opponent bombed the Port of Sevastopol to above 95% damage over many turns placing the Soviet units out of normal supply, so that in this final battle when the fortification level had been reduced to under 4 and the odds were greater than 2:1 for the attacker, the units surrendered. If the Port was still functioning, due to the +2 modifier from a major Port, the garrison I think would have only surrendered if the Fortification level was under 2. An excellent tactic by my opponent.
