Target: Leningrad - Solo - Unclear outcome

Description provided by Nathan Wailes Gaming on YouTube:

Strategic conclusions I've come to: - The Soviets should keep a strong garrison in Leningrad from the beginning of the game because 1) they get a special unit with a powerful defense ability that can *only* come into Leningrad and *only* on a particular turn, and 2) Soviet units can receive replacements in Leningrad while the city is surrounded, which is unlike every other hex on the map where they need to be able to trace a path free of enemy zones of control to the eastern board edge. So if Leningrad is held and strongly defended, it could be far harder for the Germans to take it than any other hex in the game. - The Soviet player should probably keep the Baltic Sea Fleet in Riga and then retreat it to Leningrad. Riga because it's a chokepoint for advancing German units, and Leningrad because that's going to be where the Soviets will have the best chance of making a stand that the Germans can't overcome (because of the special rules for Leningrad, the defensive terrain bonus, etc.). - The Germans should try to keep their infantry moving forward each turn, use their armor to get around behind enemy units that the infantry are attacking in order to cut off the path of retreat, and maybe use their armor to attack bypassed units to allow infantry to keep moving forward. - I don't think that the German armor by itself can do much to stop Soviet replacements and reinforcements, because the Line of Communication requirement for creating new Soviet replacement units in Soviet-controlled cities can go through any terrain (like, through swamps and forest) when tracing a path to the eastern map edge, in other words the LoC doesn't need to stick to the rail-line in a way that the German armor could easily cut off with their ZOCs, so rushing the German armor well forward of the German infantry doesn't seem like a productive use of the armor unless you think you can take a lightly-defended Leningrad.
