The situation near Stalingrad becomes increasingly difficult every day.

Voronezh was recaptured.

Stalingrad was lost. We are withdrawing in good order. The enemy lost 12000 men in this sector. Our losses were 3000 men.

Voronezh was lost again.

We are not losing. Last summer was hard for the Soviets. They lost a lot of manpower. Soviet on map forces are only 4,5 million men. We have a total air superiority.

We have not achieved a sudden victory. It was very close in October Check Date. Stalingrad fell a week too late.
Right now, the Soviet offensive is going on and we have had to give some ground. However, it is like last winter. They assault and take a little ground. But it will not change the big picture. We are slowly strangling the Soviet juggernaut to death. In the next summer we are going to be stronger than ever.

Our next chance for sudden victory is April 1st. We have now 723 VPs. We would need Voronezh, Stalingrad and Makhachkala to reach 775 VP. It is not likely.

The last chance for sudden victory is July 1st. Makhachkala and Baku are worth of 80 VP.

If we can’t capture Baku by July, then the war goes on to 1945. I'm sure we are going to take Baku in 1943. I can’t see how the Soviets could recover and reach Berlin by 1945.

this is not quite right, but maybe a bit obscured by the VP display at this stage. The Soviets need to match your HWM by December 1944 as:

"If on 31 December 1944 the Soviets fail to have matched the Axis high water mark score and the Western allies control no German territory, this is an Axis Major Victory"

The other thing in your favour is the initiative shift can only happen if your current VP is at least 10% below the HWM (or on 2 July). So you've around 30 spare against this which may give you a shot at the 1 July test if you can manage a strong spring counter-attack?

yes that is hard-wired, so from where he is now Jukipo has 2 routes to win, meet the sudden victory on 1 July or set such a high HWM that he gets a win at the end of December 44 (or the Berlin conditions but I can't see him losing the December test).

Would you be willing to upload the latest save? I'd be really interested to see how you set up your army, your rails etc. Would help me out a lot, as I'm trying to take in as much information as possible!

Status: offline 		Looking good for Baku before July 1st with all of those mobile units in Daghestan. Should be able to start pulling out infantry from the Caucuses to shore up the Don flank once you capture the remaining Black Sea ports. Soviets in a world of hurt without Baku oil production even if the game goes beyond July 1st. Looking good.

1st Guards Rifle Corps was surrounded near Makhachkala. The enemy seems to be withdrawing on the north flank. We are hoping to surround some units.

Poti was captured on the Black Sea coast.
