Summer 1943 - End of Turn
Well - a lot happened - and most of it not good for the Allies. . .
In North Africa, the allies managed to keep their beachhead alive. Rommel recaptured Tunis and then swung through Kaserine and Tebessa to take the port of Algiers, isolating Alexander and his army around Bone in Northeast Algeria. On the positive side, Cunningham's navy drove off the Italian-Vichy fleet with heavy losses. In Libya, Monty took Tripoli after destroying much of the Axis army there and driving its remnants over the border into Tunisia. You also can not see from the picture, but the Allies have also landed a force in Morocco. While Rommel made a very good go of it - the allies are confident that the days of Axis presence in North Africa are coming to an end (finally).
In Southern Russia, Rokossovsky's grand offensive to reach the Sea of Azov did not quite pan out - and he lost a lot of units battering himself up against Model's strong defensive lines around Stalino. On the positive side, his offensive diverted enough Axis attention to enable Zhukov to retake Stalingrad and help Vatutin to liberate more of the Caucasus. While the Germans managed to stop the Soviet offensive, their forces in the South are severely depleted.
In Northern Russia - an even greater failure befell the Soviets. Not only did the Russian fail to encircle the 3rd panzer Army around Novgorod as planned, but they beat themselves against German defenses to the point that the Axis were able to launch an attack on the mechanized phase and drive the weakened and disorganized Russians out of Moscow. . .and they occupied it with Romanians no less. . .
So the end of Summer 1943 leaves the Soviet army severely depleted after their failed master offensives. On the flip side, German forces in Russia are also battered and it looks like the Allies are on the verge of driving the Axis out of North Africa. Time is running out, however. If the Allies do not start taking back Victory Points fast, the Axis are going to win.
