Norwegian Sea
The Norwegian and British flotillas engaged until then were able to withdraw around the USS George H.W. Bush, where the relief fleets are beginning to regroup, including a second aircraft carrier: the HMS Queen Elizabeth. These reinforcements should make it possible to reverse the balance of power (pic 1). To the east, off Troms and its air base, anti-submarine helicopters are struggling to neutralize Russian assets (pic 2). Russian fighters are less and less present, NATO thinks they are in the process to acquire dominance in the air.
Scandinavia - North
Although the advance from the south is slow (pic 2), it seemed to have halted the Russian offensive towards Troms. NATO takes advantage of this respite to evacuate the Karasjok garrison and protect it with some reinforcements. The Norwegians intend to recover their territories and the losses have already been heavy; every soldier in the area will count. With a probable loss of initiative on the part of the Russians, the interest in holding Karasjok as long as possible has therefore fallen sharply (pic 1).
Finland
After a long siege, the Finns repel the VDV from the vicinity of Kajaani - which marked the northern limit of the Russian axis of advance - thanks to Swedish artillery support (pic 1). West of Jeonsuu, the retreat continues. The British must abandon one of their unit of Challengers II, trapped after the Russian airborne operation (pic 2). It is now needed to establish a line of defense around Tampere, north of Helsinki, then to wait to have enough means to progress frontally towards Saint-Petersburg. In the meantime, the fleet is wearing down the Russian positions with its missile fire (pic 3).
Russia - Northern front
The British are preparing to cross the Narva river thanks to German naval support (pic 1). To the south, the Pskov-Ostrov line still holds, but the Belgian infantry are preparing to blow it up. Although its fate was beyond doubt, its still managed to greatly slow down the Allied pursuit (pic 2).
Road to Moscow
The Germans continue to pursue the fleeing Russians. The latters intend to take shelter behind the Volga before taking refuge around Moscow (pic 1). After crossing the Dnieper River at Smolensk, the Americans have a direct route open to Moscow. Only a panicked rearguard protecting the enemy retreat is currently opposing them (pic 2). The airborne operation east of Gomel was a resounding success: the entire Belarusian column on the run is destroyed. The city itself is captured by the Poles (pic 3). The French, having launched the offensive from Kyiv, reach Kursk and prepar to turn North in order to reach Moscow. With Russian resistance shattered near the Ukrainian capital, the French army is advancing at a good pace (pic 4).
Ukraine
Kharkiv is reached (pic 1) as well as the outskirts of Donbass (pic 2). Russian resistance seems to be firming up there, NATO must regroup before progressing there.
Crimea
What was to be a fortress for the Russians becomes a death trap as the Italian fleet increases missile strikes. Despite the sharp reduction in anti-aircraft assets and the lacks of assets, Russian combat aircrafts continue to defend the skies. NATO loses a few aircrafts while trying to shoot them down (pic 1). The Greek fleet advances towards the Sea of Azov to support a conquest of Donbass (pic 2).
Syria
The French paratroopers retreat to Latakia while the Italians counter-attack thanks to the naval support of the fleet. The Russians must fall back to Tartus. The Greeks land heavy equipment to secure the region.
