Situation north of Gorky.
Centre
The dance begins again in the air with an attempt to encircle the Red Air Force, but again it is not effective.
Winter is coming, the river will freeze and there will be no problems with the crossing.

Stalingrad
Ferry blocked by Soviet armor.

Black Sea
Baku
In Baku, the task is almost completed.
Our troops are beginning to move to the Iranian border.

At this point in time, the Axis Command believed that it had basically achieved its goals in Russia.
The three targets on which the reinforcement of the Soviets depends are almost captured (Moscow, Leningrad, Baku).
At the same time, Axis began to have a lack of prestige.
Therefore, it was decided to launch an invasion of the Middle East for oil fields. To increase the flow of prestige. Which is required for fighting in the West.
Although of course, this did not come as a surprise to the Allies, since he saw the units in the desert camouflage more than once.

Loss analysis

Previous (t=30) data for comparison http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 40#p771413

We still have big losses in tanks, although the situation is slowly correcting.
And also too high losses in the fleet, even a little worse.
The ratio of casualties in infantry and bombers decreased slightly.

Due to the heavy losses on the Eastern Front, the Сommand decided to merge troops into one Army Group Center.
Perhaps this is only a third of the forces that were involved in Barbarossa.

We stop the attack on Ulyanovsk and seize Saratov.
With the further movement to Kuibyshev to Stalin's bunker.
Which has a spotting = 13.
With such a review, the Soviets can easily see what is happening in the whole theater of operations!

Do you know/remember if you had open slots (or how many)?

Of course, I have free slots.
They appeared I think from the 15th turn.
I immediately bought a second Pioneer unit.
Then I bought the Italian mountain artillery.
Because Germany did not have its own mountain artillery.
And I love to use it.

And now at 36 turn, although I don't have exact data, but I think I already have a lot of free slots.

From the side of Gibraltar and from the side of Egypt.
They also use aviation, an enemy aircraft carrier is seen in the area.

Meanwhile, our ground units at full speed rush to the Kasserine Pass.

Our aviation is striking on the enemy ships.
But the weather makes it difficult to do so effectively.
The British use it.

The area around Malta declared dangerous, all the ships left it.

I was going to take positions on the line of the Kasserine Pass.
And make it faster than the Americans will do.
But then I did not know about the features of the American troops)
