Eastern Front - Bryansk-Orel
Operation Pickaxe
Not a huge update, but I briefly lost control of the two empty hexes south of Orel before retaking them fully this turn. Now, if I can hold them through Ken's counterattacks, I'll have the first solid gains of the offensive. This comes with the gains in the north near Bryansk, two hexes now in Soviet control.
Eastern Front - Rostov-Stalino
Operation Annoyance
The Axis counterattack here last turn did moderate damage to the gains made previously, smashing the tip of the wedge. But with some rested units returning to the front, some of the ground was regained. The 2nd Guards Airborne division was dropped to help shore up a hex gained south of Voroshilovgrad. It was a very low-risk jump, since the last airborne operation was destroyed. The 2. SS Panzer was withdrawn for refitting, eliminating one significant division from the Axis defenses. My forces just didn't have enough gas in the tank to really make a push this turn.
