The German invasion of the Soviet Union was a failure.  The tide of war has shifted. 
The once mighty German military is caught in a desperate defense trying to keep
the Russian bear from entering the Fatherland.  Sub-freezing temperatures only add
to the desperation and suffering.  Will the Germans hold?  Will the Russian juggernaut
break through and bring horror to the German defenders? You decide the outcome on
the hell that was the Eastern Front.

Yup, the clipboard is a challenge.  For that matter, so is the map.  Most excellent to really have to focus.  Thanks, Ranger, for yet another outstanding map.

Roger Krusty.  I wanted to see how even the fights played before introducing it to the battle.

Just curious why? From the response I'd expect it to be some super plane, but you've got all the end-of-war VVS planes as well, so there's no balance issues. It served against the VVS in great numbers. [ed: well, as great as can be on a losing front]


It puzzled me, is all.

I added the K-4 the same day that you posted.  The LAs were putting a whoopin' on the Luftwaffe.  It's more even now.  As a brand new set up/scenario, it take a bit of trial & error to get it perfect. :salute
