The Soviets get their militia boost last turn and soar up to 3.5M. Fortunately they do not tend ot be of any quality. My work continues to push the rock up the hill trying to get the Soviets below 3M.

The Soviets are losing over 200K men per turn but their totals keep climbing. Over 6K AFVs destroyed helps the morale of our panzer forces.

Supplies and Vehicles in units look good. There are 12K trucks in the pool and 21K in repair. That looks about normal but next turn I will dive into the numbers for this game and previous games I have played for more in depth analysis to see what the effect of unit motorization has had.

I am not yet ready to isolate Odessa by land so I stick with just the Recon Air Directives again this turn.

Reduce much of the pocket formed last turn but stiff Soviet defensive forces limit any further advance up the Baltics. The two RAD units from Norway have arrived and are now reassigned to 18th Army. This gives 18th Army 12 (!) RAD units to repair the rail lines for AGN. The PG 4 FBD has aready turned the corner at Daugavpils heading towards Smolensk on the north side of the Dvina River.

9th Army is now entirely north of the Dvina River which allows PG 3 to concentrate to the east. 4th Army is defending the southern flank. 2nd Army is rushing towards Smolensk to help both PG 2 and 3 concentrate better for the push on Moscow. PG 3 is not able to do much other than help eliminate the pockets formed last turn. PG 2 captures Mogilev and continues to push eastward to the south of Smolensk.

Reinforced by the 1st Cav Div, XII Corps actually performs their first attacks and forces their way over the Dnepr south of Mogilev. At this point I am not sure I am benefiting from their motorization and find that you cannot schedule a de-motorization after MPs are used. That makes sense but that means they will cost another 3 APs per division next turn before I can de-motorize them. I don't feel that they are where they need to be to take advantage of their motorization as they will be needed to punch a hole for the rest of PG 2 rather than be the exploitation force at this time. Perhaps I will go with my thoughts of adding another motorized corps to AGS next.

All existing pockets have been eliminated. Additional pockets are formed between 6th Army, 17th Army, and PG 1 actions. It is a real dogfight with the Soviets with a real mix of units and lines. 11th Army and the Rumanians are moving right along in the south. Although Southern Front appears to be making a stand to the north of Odessa I feel the AI will pull back and allow me to isolate Odessa by land next turn as the defensive line does not appear to be anchored on Odessa at all. Another motorized corps down here would be a large help in cutting through the Soviet defensive lines. AGS is definitely well behind both AGC and AGN in advancing.

My first two Flak regiments have reached Norway this turn and have improved the situation. As a reminder, on T02 the ratings for AIR DAY were: Air Day 2.86 (5):57%. Night Fighter at 0, Flak (low) 0.16, and Flak (high) 1.10. You can see that they have improved and now AIR DAY stands at 74%. I have two more flak regiments coming next turn that may send this up over 90% which will hopefully be enough.

Both AGN and AGC are tracing supply from new depots setup after the start of the war. The lines are long at this time but the situation will only improve as the rail heads move closer to the front.

Tarnopol has already become a major supply depot despite only being created last turn. Even the 11th Army and the Rumanians have advanced their supply depots beyond the pre-war boundaries in many cases.

The Soviets are still over 3.4M - so it is dropping but slowly.

The Soviets have lost over 1.1M men so far and 7.6K AFVs. I have to increase their casualties by pocketing more units.

This is one area of the war that the Axis is winning pretty well. The VVS still outnumbers the Axis aircraft by more than 3:1 but these losses should continue at a high rate against the Soviets.

Status: offline 		T05 Production Analysis:

Now look at my 'control' game where I did not motorize any units. So motorization has caused 5.1K more vehicles to be in repair over the first four turns. This is large enough of a difference to rule out minor statistical anomalies and indicates that there is a large increase in truck damage due to the long term motorization of the three infantry divisions.

It is interesting to see that the Supplies Needed are almost equal between the two games but the control game saw about 5K more supplies delivered vs the motorized game.

Unit truck usage is way down this turn as more of the new depots start supplying the front lines. The front line did not move dramatically this last turn so the depots are getting closer.

Time to look at the VPs. I have lost four by events but gained four through enemy events. Most of these are the usual shakedown in the Theaters. I am behind on capturing Pskov and Smolensk but neither are any surprise.

I setup a Naval Patrol air directive to cut off Odessa by sea. I have a panzer corps in the south now to make sure Odessa is cut off on land. I also adjust my Recon directives. Odessa is isolated by sea for the cost of 8 aircraft.

18th Army is marching north through the Baltics by itself now. 16th Army is protecting the eastern flank. PG 4 is working its way around Pskov with one corps while the other is resting on a depot to recover CPP.

9th Army has completed its relief of PG 3 from the northern flank of AGC. This frees up PG 3 to breakthrough the Soviet defensive line and help PG 2 pocket Smolensk and a Soviet Army. 2nd Army is force marching to the front lines while 4th Army has secured AGC's southern flank.

I kept the corps motorized as it shifted to the north as the 4th Army is starting to enter the front lines. It will continue to hold the front line for PG 2 and allow the panzer corps to pull back and recover CPP as 2nd Army reaches the front lines.
