THIS IS THE CLOSEST SERIES OF THE SEASON. AS WE ENTER FRAME 5, RED LEADS GOLD BY LESS THAN 100 POINTS (SEE GAME SCORES ON THE S3 WEBSITE FOR ACCURATE TOTALS.)

IN FRAME 4, VVS COMBINED WITH RUSSIAN ARMY GROUND FORCES MADE AN ALL OUT ATTEMPT TO NOT ONLY REGAIN EARLIER LOSSES BUT ALSO TO PUSH HARD AGAINST THE WEHRMACHT'S THRUST AGAINST THE 'BULGE'. HOWEVER, WHILE GOLD LOST GROUND NEAR KURSK, THEY REGAINED A BADLY NEEDED SUPPLY DEPOT AS WELL AS AN AIRBASE CLOSER TO THE FRONT.

THE MAP IS RESET AND READY TO GO FOR FRAME 5. WILL RUSSIAN TROOPS WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE VVS CONTINUE TO DRIVE BACK THE GERMAN FORCES OR WILL THE RESUPPLIED AND REINFORCED WEHRMACHT LEAD BY THE LUFTWAFFE FINALLY CRUSH RUSSIAN RESISTANCE AND SEE VICTORY FOR OPERATION CITADEL? WE SHALL SEE TOMORROW NIGHT.

MARSHAL YOUR FORCES, ONLY YOUR BEST EFFORTS CAN BRING YOU VICTORY FOR YOUR SIDE.

GOOD LUCK
