Small update:


Turn 25, December 4th

The Russian winter has finally hit us in force! Temperatures reach as low as -40°C. Men and machines are suffering terribly.

The average combat value of my divisions has dropped to 20-30%. And the Soviet divisions have theirs doubled or tripled.

Except continuing the liquidation of the Westerwald pocket I put all offensive operations on hold. The build-up of Red Army forces in the Moscow sector worries me a lot. In addition to the first two infantry divisions arriving to bolster my lines here I start railing another four infantry divisions to the Moscow area.

All along the front we now await the Red Army. God help us.



Small update due to basically no change in unit disposition and little to report. Next turn will get a regular update again.


@vonKhan: the lack of winter clothing is modelled for the Germans in the winter '41/'42, only the Finns and all mountain troops do not suffer drastic penalties in that year.
