If some of those brigades are newly raised you may want to keep them farther away from the front line, so they raise up to 50 morale a little faster.

[Klydon]

Their moral will be 50 fairly fast. The thing that will lag behind is the experience.

Larry lost a bit of heavy industry and armaments factories; that can happen when there's so much to juggle.  A checklist, whether physical or mental, can cut down on that.

[larryfulkerson]

Hey ....... that's a really good idea.  Thanks.

Here's the T37 front lines before any Soviet movement. Kevin and I are trading the same hexes from one turn to the next. He's gaining
strength in his units again so I guess the main part of the Blizzard is over. I'm going to have to start thinking defensively now again.
In my game with Pelton I've already been rounded up, isolated, and pocketed big time and I expect the same thing to start happening in this game.

I hadn't checked in here in a half dozen turns.  Your counter-offensives with Bryansk and Western fronts are impressive and make me smile.

Any reason you can see why you're generally being a lot more effective in that region?

As you start thinking of defense again, remember to watch where his panzers go toward Spring.  If I were playing Axis, I'd be trying to set you up so I could cut off both Bryansk and Western fronts with a big panzer-pincer from north and south.  To me, that opportunity would be more important than the Crimea, if it was available.

[Tarhunnas]

Can't see many panzers or motorized divisions in the front. Might they be wintering somewhere cozy? In that case they could deliver an offensive fairly quickly in an unexpected place come spring.

Um........for some reason the Axis units facing the Bryansk and Western fronts are weaker than the Axis units in other parts of the front. That's the only thing I can think of to explain the successes in attacking there. Kevin's supply lines must be further away or something to make the units on the line CV=1 and CV=2 in that region. Either that or the places to hide from the effects of winterization must be less or something. I'd have to ask Kevin and / or play the Axis side to know for sure I guess.

[randallw]

I see a few rifle divisions scattered far behind the front; any plans for them?
