Leningrad and Sevastopol fall.
Germans halt their offense, time to get ready for a counter, I will wait until the winter becomes severe, time to build more units first.

The Siberian divisions are now available and Moscow is looking like it has enough forces to last at least until mid-1942 but doubtful they can hold against a prolonged assault.
We are producing enough units, mainly Corps now, so that a line from Moscow south can be formed as far as the Caucuses, but it will likely have a few gaps around Voronezh.
In the Med we are planning to strike in Spring of 1942 once the US forces become available, an invasion of Vichy France might be possible.

Continuing to build defences, 3 more Corps are deployed and 4 GAR units to fill in some gaps.
I am considering deploying my armour around Voronezh to strike towards Rostov as a counter to see if I can trap the Germans at Stalingrad.
UK and USA are stockpiling PP as not sure what we will need, hopefully enough DDs to at least escort the US forces to Europe!

Murmansk cut off.
The US invasion will launch next turn - probably go for the Med as stiff German forces in the N Atlantic, the UK forces may have to launch a diversionary operation.
Russian build up continues.

The Atlantic is going to be running red soon as the Germans have 2 SUBS just off the US coast and a large fleet of 2 BBs and at least 3 DDs near the central North Atlantic. The US are escorting a large convoy with 3 DDs as a bluff to draw the German forces north whilst a single transport is testing the waters to the south of the Azores, with just a single DD.
The British have sent all 6 of their DDs to help out but it's going to be a hard fight.
The British are not really strong enough to try for Overlord yet but it may be possible soon. If the Germans have committed everything to the Atlantic we can try next turn perhaps.
Kursk is retaken and the Russians drive on Karkhov, although it is more heavily defended and the winter will end soon so we may have to halt. The Russians should have launched their counter offensives earlier in the winter.
