Winter
1942 turn:
One British RAF unit is in range of Berlin, but, since the Germans aren't slated to get
any replacements this winter, the British don't bother to bomb. The British haven't lost
any units, so the German U-boats hold their torpedoes. The USSR has lost four units, and
is scheduled to receive exactly four replacements. The Germans have two air units within
range of Moscow (and the Soviets have no air force to defend it) and they both conduct
strategic bombing attacks, eliminating one Soviet replacement.
The USSR gets 4-1=3 replacements. They rebuild both fronts and the air unit they lost in
1941, placing all three units in Moscow. *
Strangely, Spain decides to join the Axis.
Comments: On the eastern front, the Russian bear has his back to the wall, nearly broken.
But the Bolsheviks catch a break as they replace almost all the units they lost in 1941
and cram them all into the capital, making it nearly impossible for the Germans to take
Moscow in the Spring of 1942. This is critical, as America is about to enter the war and
the Germans have precious little time as it is to finish things in the east before they
must pull units out of the USSR to face an Allied threat from the west. And the British,
with three armies and two naval units in the Mediterranean, are about to rip into the soft
spaghetti underbelly of Europe. 1942 will decide the course of the rest of the war.
