You have been able to wipe out the formidable defensive curtain of Ponyri, at last. Unfortunately the Americans and the British have just launched the invasion of Sicily, so the offensive in the south of the salient has been cancelled, due to the need of armoured troops to defend Italy. Even the situation in the north is precarious, because the Soviets have immediately launched a strong counterattack. You could not bear it, commander. Retire for a while to rest and refit.
