Please roll at 12L vs 3L.

Axis places 5 Combat markers in any axis ocupied spaces (include. Multi-nationality spaces). +1 DRM for all Ge attack vs. Su this round. Cancels Su Trench No Retreat option & Def 1R effect for entire turn. PREREQ: Play on Turn 1 only. May not play if Von Paulus Pause has been played.

Message from Axis:
Barbarossa as event

[GE1] in Reims, [GE7] in Calais.

Stand Fast markers on Lwow, Kolomya, Kinishev.

Combat markers on Memel, Insterberg, Warsaw, Lublin and Yassi.

1) 3Pz, GE16, GE18 attack Kaunas, 15L+1 vs 3L(+ ?). Losses from GE16.
For a retreat-2 result I assume you retreat to Pskov via Riga, then both inf armies to Kaunas and 3Pz to Dvinsk.
For a retreat-1 result I assume you retreat to Dvinsk, then both inf armies to Kaunas and 3Pz to Vilna.
If you choose another retreat I have to rethink the advance and the following.

2) 4Pz autokill vs Courland, advances to Minsk (convert Vilna if not already done), +1 VP.

3) 1Pz autokill vs Kovel, advances to Kovel. Brest-Litovsk and Bialystock OOS.

4) [GE11] (only) autokill (3L+1) vs Chernovitch. [GE11] advances.

5) 2Pz, GE4, GE9 (not the Warsaw GEc) vs Bialystock, 12L+1 vs 2L. Losses from GE4.
A retreat-2 will eliminate West Front and a SUa from the RB due to the turn 1 retreat restrictions. Advance both inf armies to Bialystock (remove trench) and 2Pz to Kovel.
In case of a retreat-1 I will decide on advances from this attack and what to do with GE6 and the GEc in Warsaw after seeing the results so far.

6) GE6 autokill vs Brest-Litovsk. No advance.
