HI! Just wanted to say that you're doing an amazing job and congratulations to The Great Patriotic War for one year !
The border is so close....
The grim slaughter of January and February - that sounds very encouraging. Onwards Soviet Guards! As Bogdanov told his Guards tankists, Soviet Guards do not surrender, do not die, but conquer! (having been a Guard in both the Imperial army pre-Revolution and a Soviet Guard.... like Rokosovsky, he was also imprisoned during the Purges)
The difference between the effectiveness of the German response in the Balkans and in the Baltics is striking: in the south, they threw you off balance and had you contemplating abandoning liberated Bulgaria. In the north, you kind of brushed them aside and now they're spent - and you're just getting started.
I imagine we'll see Königsberg burn soon. The assault into the Reich proper is getting underway...

I think you will take Berlin BEFORE you take budapest, if the current pattern continue
I don't think you'll get a big pocket in Kurland out of this. There just aren't many axis forces in the area. Otherwise, more hard infantry fighting. With the Wehrmacht putting panzer divisions in the front line, they're certainly in trouble. Not that they weren't before, but that's the worst use they can make of their main offensive arm, especially since they'll be exposed to the opening artillery barrages of an offensive. Which brings to mind, do I see an Artillery Division in one screenshot? How does that work out?
My god, is that a huge pocket I'm about to see forming north of Konigsberg? Goldap being hit could REALLY hurt them.
But, do you have the reserves to be able to strengthen the walls of the pocket there?
When do you relase poland as a people's republic?
Yeah, Semper Fi did supply mostly right. In the FTM, most of the front would be completely out of supply by now.
You're tantalizingly close to Budapest - just one province! Of course, you're also out of supply. D'oh.
The battle of Rimavska Sobota is a a sight to behold: three tank divisions (including Guards!) and a light armor/mechanized division tearing into one sad, little German Panzer division. Such might - and then you're held up by supply problems. It's very promising, though, to see just how badly you can outclass the Germans if you can A) concentrate and B) sort your supply situation. I'm looking forward to seeing some precipitious German collapse here or there. It can't be long, anymore.
More stalemate on the southern sector? You've conquered a few more provinces though - little by little...
Just noticed where Stuyvesant is - I'll be there in two months myself...
1944 was to see the destruction of the Axis powers in Europe and the escalation of the war to a truely global scale.
