18th Army takes Tallinn and continues to advance towards the Narva River. 16th Army tries to reduce the pockets while trying to relieve the 4th PG. 4th PG works at reducing the pockets and holding the line.

2nd Army is starting to be the southern flank of AGC. 4th Army is advancing to hold the center. 9th Army is holding the northern flank. 3rd PG and 2nd PG form a pocket in front of Smolensk. 2nd PG has a corps pushing southeast of Gomel threatening to form a pocket north of Kiev.

6th Army is advancing trying to help hold the northern flank. 17th Army is advancing to the Soviet defensive line. 11th Army is taking over the front line. The Rumanians are concentrating for Odessa. 1st PG is bemoaning the one single hex short of a large pocket. There were just too many small units holding the rear to ZOC cost the encirclement so some units heading southeast to enlarge the breakthrough.

Here is the truck information that was requested above. I will start to include this screen on the every fifth turn status report. The trucks are looking good so far with 14K still in the pools and only 26.8K in repair.

Status: offline 		Yes, but do I really need one? Yes I do, but is it worth losing all those trucks? No it is not, at least in my opinion. The Axis truck pool is VERY fragile in 41 and needs all the Tender Loving Care you can give it. Once a truck needs repair it is out of the war for all practical purposes in 41. 42 and later is another story.

Rain. What a pain, but you can see what it does to the supply net in AGC where a few units really have to reach to the rear for supply. And this is just moderate rain - the heavy stuff will be much worse.

The southern supply net is improving but there is a lot of stress on that single double line running east. Which makes it a prime target for the VVS.

I readjust the Recon Directives. It took about two minutes to do the entire eastern front. The bad weather results in some heavy Recon operational losses.

The bad weather shows up in the amount of supplies lost. The units are still getting more than their need at this point. The Air Commands are also getting more than they need which is good too.

18th Army advances towards the Soviet defensive line. 16th Army is holding the southern flank. 4th PG quickly shifts orientation and catches the Soviets flat footed. While the Soviet army defending near Pskov is not surrounded, it is ZOC locked and will not be able to escape easily. It all depends on what reserves the Soviets can bring into the area. Just as I was trying to decide whether to go for Leningrad or not.

9th Armys is working on reducing the pockets. 4th Army is also working on reducing the pockets - the Smolensk pocket is still holding strong with units of several Soviet armies remaining to go. 2nd Army is working on freeing up the 4th Army to shift more forces towards Smolensk. 3rd PG helps reduce some pockets while holding the line with the XXXIX Mot Corps. The LVII Mot Corps is pulled back for refit and CPP recovery at Polotsk. 2nd PG reduces some pockets and holds the front line steady. The XXIV Mot Corps is refitting near Mogilev.

The Soviet AI counterattacked twice in this theater last turn. As their first major counterattacks go off the defending German infantry divisions easily win the contests.

6th Army helps reform the northern pocket and starting to dig in near Kiev. 17th Army works on the northern pocket and advances to the center of the line. 11th Army is holding the southern portion of the line. This frees up the Rumanians who do their first assault on Odessa, reducing the fort level by one while losing 11K men in the process. 1st PG reforms the northern pocket from last turn while forming a new pocket to the south this turn.

Taking a closer look at the double rail lines from Minsk to the land bridge you can see those nasty red stars. These represent Soviet partisan strikes that have placed some interdiction in those hexes. Those hexes are negating strategic movement through those hexes which raises the MP cost for Axis units and, much more important, the cost for trucks and supplies to traverse. So what can we do about them?

The Soviet Union Garrison Theater Box is now in play. As you can see it currently has no garrison requirement (the (0) past the Ground value of 32.98) but that will change. This is where all those RHG Commands have gone this turn from the map. Other units have joined them there such as the 2 Slov Infantry division and the two Rumanian Fortress brigades. I can send additional units to the garrison but I will never be able to recover those units in the game. That is a one-way ticket.

Definite improvement on the supply net here. The Pripyet Marshes are difficult to supply. You can also see the minor port at Ochakov is now supplying the 1st PG in the south.

Improved with the better weather although the Air Command does not get what it needs. I advanced a lot of the AOGs last turn which probably contributed to this. The Panzer Groups are getting plenty of supplies so they are good.

18th Army continues to advance on the Narva River. 16th Army is holding the pockets and the right flank. 4th PG forms pockets around six Soviet divisions while threatening a pocket of another 14 divisions. The Soviets have had to send massive reinforcements to the area.

The Smolensk area was the scene of heavy Soviet counterattacks which successfully opened the pocket to the west of Smolensk.

The 9th Army helps to reform the pocket while taking over front line duties from 3rd PG. 4th Army is creeping further north as the 2nd Army frees up more troops in the southern flank. 3rd PG is almost completely pulled out of the front line and refitting near Vitebsk. 2nd PG blows a hole in the Soviet defensive line and swings north of Smolensk to cut the Smolensk to Moscow rail line.

The Rumanians celebrate as they do two more assaults on Odessa and it falls. The 11th Army is fighting to reduce the southern pocket and help hold the line. The 17th Army reduces the northern pocket and blows a hole in the Soviet line for the 1st PG. 6th Army is working on advancing and pocketing Kiev. The 1st PG is able to exploit the hole from the 17th Army and advance deep into enemy territory grabbing some small bridgeheads over the Dnepr and almost cutting off 14 Soviet divisions.

There is now a Ground garrison requirement of 60. I currently only have 51.4 - or 85% of that. Looking at the garrison detail I note that many of the units are in the mid-90s for TOE%. This shows that I will be able to increase my garrison total as they fill up (they are automatically on REFIT in the theater box) but it may not be enough. I will set some units up to be transferred to the garrison over the next turn or so. This is just making sure that they are on a functioning rail line, more than four hexes from the enemy, and not in ROUTED or DEPLETED status.

not right I'm afraid, refit kicks in/out in the active (as opposed to reserve) theatres at 655:
