The USSR officially ends the battle of Gatchina and their invasion of the Baltic Countries. A permanent border is established at the Narva and Luga rivers to the North (see spoiler):
Soviet front in red, border in black The cities of Narva and Ust-Luga are ceded to the Germans. The USSR gains Kingisepp and Slantsy. We establish a defensive line on the Luga and Plyussa rivers. Anti-tank mines, barriers, ditches, anti-air guns, forts, and trenches are built in the buffer regions (will complete on page 90). Our military retreats to Kingisepp and Slantsy. We fully expect the Germans to retreat from the border as well. 50 000 German POWs are being put to work to build these forts. The city of Gatchina has finally been liberated! This was always a thorn in the motherland's side. Now we can free up our resources. Our southern front is defined at highway E95, down to the Belarussian border. We move all our troops in Gatchina to the Belarussian border, and install a reserve force at our front (20 divisions, 500 tanks). Fortifications on our southern front (same as north) will also complete on page 90. Airfields have been built in Gatchina, Luga, Pskov, and Velikiye Luki, with radar and anti-air guns.

Only for Eugene V. Debs , Darth Revan_ I finally ended the battle with German Army Group north, and I've freed up a bunch of infantry and tanks. I now have 30 divisions and 300 tanks in Mandal, and 47 divisions and 1282 tanks (+ 250 planes) in Belarus. The USSR moves enough infantry and tanks to have 30 divisions and 300 tanks at Mandal. The rest of the Gatchina force is sent to the defensive lines in the west and Belarus. A moderate amount of planes are stationed at the Gatchina, Pskov, and Velikiye Luga airfields.

Danish Corps retreats from Denmark, reinstating King Christian X on the Danish throne. Denmark is a completely independent country.
All German troops in France retreat to Germany (as determined by Treaty of Versailles), giving French State led by Phillipe Petain complete independence.
All German troops retreat from Benelux, giving interim governments control of respective countries.

Only for Darth Nihilus, Darth Revan_That's good, but now that a front is closed, (since there's nothing else to do) I think German Army Group North will probably focus either north or on Stalingrad. So Germany Army Group North is now completely free. Isn't that a disadvantage for us? And the plan was cancelled? Because we canceled one of the two fronts.
And what do you think we should do now? The behavior of the Atlantic Wall Army Group is suspicious.

Only for Allies on Western Front: Darth Revan_ , Manfred von Richthofen , Jadimir , Eugene V. Debs : The Germans have evacuated from Denmark and France. I feel like they're trying to lead us into a trap by overextending our fronts. Strengthen your defensive fronts, De Gaulle and I will move into Denmark, and I will send troops to assist Konev. Set your troops so they can lead a counterattack if necessary.
The Germans have left Denmark! Our troops move in from the north sea unopposed. We move into Copenhagen and install anti-submarine nets, underwater torpedo devices, and sea mines on all waterways from Germany to Norway, as well as the Femer Baelt. The rest of our troops move to the German-Danish border and install a front from Rodenas to Flensburg, with a reserve force in Northern Denmark and Southern Norway. Our destroyer is also moved to Copenhagen. Our Air Force is moved to Holstebro, with a small reserve force in Norway. Airfields, radar, and anti-air guns are built in Copenhagen, Holstebro, and Aalborg. We have installed ports in Aalborg which will allow the British fleet to bypass the Skagerrak completely and directly access Copenhagen. Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov , since Germany evacuated their troops from Denmark does that mean I'm allowed to invade it? Or is that not allowed since they're independent now?

And what do you think we should do now? The behavior of the Atlantic Wall Army Group is suspicious. Only for Eugene V. Debs, Darth Revan_I only guaranteed the Germans that I wouldn't invade the Balkans. We can still continue our operation from Belarus, in fact the land that they ceded to us makes this operation easier since we can now use highways to move our troops. I built extensive defensive operations that will make it impossible for them to move deep inside our territory.
I'm going to send reinforcements to Stalingrad to ensure that Konev doesn't get pushed back. We could potentially move south as well and completely isolate the Eastern German Group.
I bet they're setting a trap for us. I'm gonna walk straight into that trap and see if I can spring it. Set up a defensive line behind me so that I can retreat if necessary. We want to lead them out of their defensive shell. I think you can send a very small force to liberate France if you want. Don't send too many though, cause they might counterattack.

Only for Darth Nihilus Good. Also, where do you want the defense line? Only for Eugene V. DebsI don't know. Preferably somewhere north of the German-Danish border, on a narrow stretch of land. Maybe from Esbjerg to Kolding? That way our ports in the north will be behind the rear line.
I think since we captured Denmark, we could potentially do a southward thrust to Hamburg and an eastward thrust from France to surround the Ruhr region, in conjunction with our initial plan. That will cripple the Germans' ability to build forts and transport gas to the front lines. But if we don't have enough soldiers we'll just do the eastern plan.

The USSR has moved 30 divisions and 300 tanks via the North Sea to the Danish-German border. A reserve force of 10 divisions is staying behind in Denmark and Norway. All our planes are also scattered throughout the airfields in Denmark. We have abandoned our previous de-mining operation and will now de-mine a path from Denmark to the North Sea. 20 fighters and 25 bombers are still providing cover.
Edit: Anti-air guns are being built at the Fiensburg line. They will be complete on page 85.

hehe. we liberate stalingrad, killing 12,980 German Troops. Most of the deaths were from Katyusha fire. We have pushed them back to Kallach-na-Donu. We extend the Volga-Caucasus line to the Black Sea Coast. the line isnt breaking yet; so the forts and artillery keep on firing. for Darth Revan_ Pls send half of your tanks (315 of them) to help us push back voroshilov’s army to Ukraine. How can you overrun our fortifications with only 103 divisions against 73? That is just op and unrealistic. Every time I have taken a city, it has taken many turns. ok. Heavy fire from the katyushas make massive holes in the fortifications. While the divisions wait for an opportunity
