Any one of these new Tank Brigades is currently equipped with about 2-6 tanks, at most. It will take a while until any become operational. Meanwhile, our first Guards Rifle Divisions have been formed from units which were apparently very successful at destroying fascists. Hopefully that should motivate our troops to fight rather than flee at the first sight of a German tank.
There's more mud on the front, particularly in the south. This has unfortunately effected our operations more than the Germans' this time.
Leningrad Front: It has been determined by Stavka that a new name for this formation is absolutely necessary for the war effort. Meanwhile, Finland seems to have halted its attacks this week, probably because their supply lines are overextended.
Northwestern Front: The gap in the German lines has been plugged by the enemy's 21st Infantry Division as well as a couple of new formations, the 339th and 707th Static Divisions. These must be typical fascist lies since they obviously got there somehow.
The 48th Army has successfully assaulted and retaken Pskov from the German 123rd Infantry Division. Further to the south, we've managed to isolate the Totenkopf SS Motorized Division and three other German infantry divisions, but they've managed to withstand all of our attacks. Similarly, the Polizei SS and 86th Infantry Divisions are besieged by our units northeast of Limbazi, near the Gulf of Riga, but mud has prevented us from being able to attack and destroy them. Unfortunately, despite our reinforcement by the Leningrad Front's 23rd Army, the Germans have managed to reopen the supply corridor to several of their other units.
Western Front: Our attacks have managed to reduce the Rudnya salient by a further 20 miles. Rudnya itself has been recaptured in the process, so I'll have to come up with a new name for this section of the front. In the south, Panzer Group 2 and its supporting units have reached the Sozh river, expanding their bridgehead by a considerable amount. We've mounted our usual counterattacks but we haven't really been able to do much to dislodge them.
German units continued to attack Mogilev, which has long since turned into rubble from months of constant combat, but, as always, they've made no progress whatsoever.
Southwestern Front: It appears that my estimates were correct. The German mechanized formations are seemingly immobilized by lack of fuel. As a result, with the exception of a few local attacks, their offensive has largely ground to a halt. Thanks to that, our line is now a bit more organized than the ad-hoc defense we put up last week, and we've isolated the German Panzer Group in four separate pockets. Unfortunately our counter-offensive efforts have been sabotaged by mud, so they'll likely re-open the lines of communication to some of them soon, but I doubt they're going anywhere for a while.
Southern Front: The German 170th Infantry Division was attacked and destroyed by the 9th Army, completing the annihilation of Axis forces in this sector. Unfortunately, muddy conditions have significantly slowed down our exploitation of the breach in the enemy lines, so we haven't made much progress either in Romania or in turning the Axis flank in the north. Despite this, our leading units are now little over 100 miles from Bucharest.
Overall Situation: I'm not particularly pleased with the German advance in some areas but the situation seems stable at the moment.
