They counter attack at Minsk – They still have the ability to mass for counter attacks. The forces near Kiev also see some counter attacks. We are pushed back of course. Owch, this is a heavy hit. They also move in the south. Our gains are reversed. I need more troops to advance here, but it's a secondary front, so they are on pause. More troops lost, but not to many so tanks. They have retreated again. I expand into the gap. I even get a depot on a major rail line going! They have pulled back near Minsk. I of course advance with everything I've got. The advances near Kiev are slow. But at least they are happening. I do find a weak spot to the south. And we get a breakthrough. Moving south, I pick on a Panzer unit. They have retreated in the south, and I'm able to sneak a unit over the border into Romania. This will hopefully cause a surrender – if so, that will be a major coup! This is a nice looking map.
