No orders for the German this turn whereas Allied are compelled to attack.
After the defeat of the Allied invasion last turn, German redeployed his 18th Army from Calais to Dvinsk with the goal to reinforce his weak Army Group North.
In the meantime, Russian prepared an offensive to cross Strait of Kerch trying to liberate Crimea.
| First assault was leaded by Soviet shock Armies with the support of a Mechanized Front. But the combined German-Hungarian forces managed to defeat the attack and almost destroyed Russian Infantry. |  |
 | Soviet decided to commit more troops into the area and the second assault was performed by two full Mechanized Fronts. This time Germans were clearly outnumbered and the remaining of his Panzer Army was forced to retreat to Nikopol liberating the road towards the liberation of Sevastopol. |
The turn then moved into a series of logistics operations, with both sides looking for replacements and some strategic redeployments. Most of the operations were made at the North were Germans and Soviets maneuvered to prepare the new front line.
But, at the very end of the Fall, Allied launched Operation Round-Up and invaded France again at Calais. The experience of the previous year will be very useful to not commit the same errors as in the past.
This time two Mechanized Armies are sent in the first wave of the invasion. However weather conditions are not optimal in Fall for such a landing and in the first attack, Allied were stopped at the beaches.

As second wave, Allied sent a reduced British Army and rebuilt the destroyed American Army.
Map after replacements:

Russian: 4 steps, American: 3
German: 6 steps, Romanian: 2 steps.
VP: +9 VP for Axis (lost Sevastopol this turn).
