On the whole our attacks along the front have paid off, numerous new provinces have been captured however we have met some resistance from Soviet troops in certain regions.

indeed, this is going to be even more difficult than the previous campaigns in Germany and Italy.

thanks SnakeIV. The delay has been because of Uni. Im staying on campus and hoi2 is at home [but i go home at weekends]. The reason you didnt get an update last week was because i was very tired.
If i can manage it i will perhaps try and give more than one update but that i cannot gaurantee.
Thanks for everyones continuing support.
We are always behind you Gul. Over a year and still Truckin'
Hope you ha(ve)d fun in Uni

btw, are you planning on modding some bitter peace event for the SU? When I play minors I find it kind of annyoing that I have to march across asia to defeat the SU. (IMHO at least the majors should have BP events for all the other majors. )

Not yet. Im not sure if it would be fair.
thanks boom, the AAR has existed for a long time and im happy for her.
Collapse in Kiev
Our objective is coming closer to completion all along the front, three divisions are ready to be shipped from Britain and the three divisions that saved Portugal are en route to Persia.
The Soviet war machine has been kept on the back foot and despite a growing crisis in Persia we seem to be keeping the Soviets not only at bay but on the back foot also. In Persia we are waiting for reinforcements and for a clear plan to appear- recently the Soviets have defeated the defenders of Tehran and their are currently no plans to try and launch a last ditch attempt to save the city as the last one failed.
The key to our objective was to capture Kiev, the city is vital and would be a strong blow to Soviet morale should it fall. It will make a strong base for Allied operations in the area.
Regardless of the fact that the Soviets are performing poorly we cannot forgot how greatly outnumbered we are and the deeper into Soviet territory we push the thinner our lines will be stretched leaving us vulnerable to being counter attacked and smashed.

Units Battling Into Position- The French Continue Their Advance in the South
Kiev is Soon to be Isolated and Surrounded
In the north we continued to push the Soviets back, feeling the possibility for an encirclement we pushed our tanks and motorized divisions into Smolensk however a Soviet counter into [the later captured] Orsha soon slowed us down.
Smolensk Falls
We then attacked Orsha.....
Orsha Falls
however the Soviets launched a daring counter that would potentialy cut off our priceless troops in Smolensk.
Our troops in Mogliev fought valiantly but it was clear they were destined to be defeated thus the mighty General O'Connor was ordered to break the Soviet divisions supporting the attack in surrounding provinces....he was successful.
Numerous Victories Break the Soviet Assault
These victories allowed us to isolate Kiev, Soviet troops were retreating all over the front. Kiev was assaulted early on the 9th of June and we were victorious!
