North Africa - Egypt.
Disaster! The 5th U.S. Infantry Division has been destroyed while in transport ships bound for Egypt. This was a major blow to the Allied hopes for a counterattack on this front and will likely add many weeks to the preparations. As of right now, the northern flank is held by the Nile. A big risk if the Axis have ferry units available. But I have to roll the dice there. The supply line from Suez is now reopened, and that should start paying off next turn. If my front line divisions can regain some strength, they'll easily be able to handle anything Ken throws my way here. In two months time, the U.S. forces in England will be ready for a landing in the Mediterranean.
Eastern Front - Leningrad
Operation Tuning Fork
It was a good try, but this operation is dying quickly. I'll try to hold the bridgehead across the Volkhov River, as it would be a great launch point for future offensive operations in this sector.
Eastern Front - Karelia South
My guess here is that the situation on the border here will settle down for the winter. The terrain won't be suitable for offensive operations and Ken will want to pull his divisions back over the canal to ensure supply isn't interrupted.
