The attack on Stalingrad from the south (via Astrakhan) made some initial progress but then lost momentum because of supply issues even along the Stalingrad railroad.

The Germans also made an effort to create good positions in front of Moscow for the upcoming summer campaign. We could take Kaluga.

Strong Russian elements (amongst them at least one full strength Lvl 3 Russian tank corps) threaten Voronezh from the north. We needed to dispatch a few units that were freed up from the Caucasus to help some Axis minor units to defend the city.

Progress southwest of Moscow. The encirclement around Orel was actually initially larger 2 turns back.

Moscow and Stalingrad in dire straights. The Allies push hard in Africa but their progress has slowed down after some losses of UK and US carriers in the Med. (sunk by aircraft based in Sicily).

Gary has played the Allies much better than I did in our previous game. I was impressed with how the British (later with American help) rolled up the Italians back into Tunesia. In the end it did not help. I think that with the current settings (hard for all majors) the game is still somewhat unbalanced and only a careless over-aggressive Axis side can loose.

There is a key event early in the game (German war weariness). I decided to pay up and take the PP hit right away. This was a two sided sword since it threw the Germans back in armor production and research being at negative PPs for many month.Not sure if I would do that again.

I have seen a few Russian full strength Lvl 3 tank corps. Not sure if it would have made a big difference investing solely into infantry. Maybe the Russians would have hold out longer and thereby giving the Allies a chance to invade later. Counterattacking (at these reduced major countries PP settings) seems not to be an option for the Red Army in any case.

It also turned out that the Russian attack on Finland was fortunate for the Germans/Axis. Mostly because it got Germany into the war while the Russians were engaged elsewhere. Later the Fins could harass the Russians with many weak units in the far north, soaking up quite some Russian units while also a Karelian front had to be manned against the Germans in Finland.

I enjoyed both games tremendously. Maybe to be repeated in a newer version of ToF. In the meanwhile we may switch to the Pacific and dig up SoP once more.
