T26 9/17/41 This shows the Kharkov front as only a strong point. The Axis is already well across the Dnepr so a solid line is not yet possible. The plan is to slow the Axis into the mud and winter.

T26 9/17/41 Finally Sevastopol is now cut off but in supply at the port. Sevastopol must now hold out a long time.

T29 9/28/41 Leningrad Front shows the Axis trying to envelop Leningrad on the left and the right side of the screen shot. Next month is mud so I think he will be stopped here soon as well as all the fronts.

T29 9/28/41 The Bryansk front shows fighting in the north of the screen but I think mud will come before the Axis can close a large pocket here.

T29 9/28/41 Kharkov is developing into a large battle for a strongpoint. As seen there are other strongpoints that also can turn into pitched battles of delay.

T29 9/28/41 The Zaporozhe front shows more strongpoint activity. The mud and distance will slow the Axis a great deal before the winter.

T29 9/29/41 Sevastopol is not holding very well. It looks like it will be taken shortly by the Axis.

T31 10/5/41 Sevastopol front. The Axis managed to take the only supply port of the Sevastopol pocket and the Soviets were unable to retake it as seen. The two German units holding it were eliminated but the turn ended before any Soviet troops were able to move in. It looks grim from the Soviet side here. The Axis had a blowtorch style attack which could not be stopped.
Mud will arrive on turn 33. That will slow things down considerably. Most other fronts had little change. One more turn of good weather for the Axis next turn.

Here is the big picture on turn32. It shows the Germans attempting a massive pocket. With mud on the next turn we should have a big battle there.

Very exciting, thanks for the screenshots! Looks like the German will advance as historical, plus Sevastopool..
There doesn't seem to be anything on the Soviet southern front?

Turn 33, first turn of mud in October.
Here is a large view of the Southern Front. Only the Kharkov front shows resistance. The Axis went for Sevastopol instead of heading deeper south so there is no need to set up fronts that are not needed. With the mud followed by winter, the fronts will not change much for a while. However, there will be plenty of WWI style fighting.

T33 October 12, 1941. This view shows the battle for the Roslavl Pocket. Since it is now mud, the Germans have lost their boost and movement advantages. This will be followed by winter. Note the rail line right to the front on the east side of the picture that will fuel a mud offensive.
