Part 29

No movement on the northern front, beyond one attack by the SS motorized Divisions to maintain our holdings in the north.







The new year sees our defensive CV's jump a fair amount, but will it be enough to hold off the Russians?



I also make an attack to keep my line from Bulging any more.







You know, I could almost start an offensive in the south now, look at these Cvs!








The Russians hit us with another 65 attacks.



The Voronezh assault continues to expand its territory.



Our advancing SS unit is forced back again.



And we see many attacks around Moscow – in some places we are forced back twenty kilometres.







Our losses are dropping as the bad weather lessens up a little, while the Russians run into our less frozen troops and take twenty thousand more losses. The 230 tanks they have lost this week must be hurting them.



Actual German numbers don't change much, maybe because the Russians now have to pay for their new forces.



Over a hundred thousand men flow back to the front.



Look at all that Fuel in our stores.



Now lets look how we're doing compared to history in regards to smashing the Russian War Machine. The 1942 scenario starts in June, but I'll use it here.
First up, lets look at the factories.



Not all that much difference, except in stores – the first column is the actual sources. But you're really interested in the T-34's, aren't you.
Here is the historical production.



And here is what we're up against.



Even if those two factories upgrade to 75, we have definitely taken out 33% of all the Russian T-34 production.



And here is what we are producing, not all of it of course, but the sexy part. Any questions on production ask now, I have saves for the info.

As much as I worry about some of these attacks, none have advanced more than forty kilometers into our pre-blizzard lines, but our men are tiring, and losses are mounting. The break in the weather cannot come soon enough.
