In my "advanced" campaign, the original game's only scenario, Germany completely overran Western Russia by mid-January, sending what remained of the shattered Red Army east over the hills and taking every city on the map by the end of March.
My "expert" campaign aftermath was... strange. I still managed to take almost all of the cities, including Stalingrad, but only through some sneaky shenanigans where I sent some of my weakest, nearly combat-ineffective units around the back to mark them as "taken." Leningrad was ignored for expediency and lack of strategic value, and Dnepropetrovsk was briefly taken and then forfeit. But my own lines were unstable, with the bulk of my remaining muster holding a tenuous grip on Moscow and Smolensk. Russia would realistically have no trouble taking back Stalingrad, Kharkov, and the territory between within a month or two, and their forces already in Ukraine could continue pushing what little remains of my own back to Poland.

End state of the expert campaign |
Historically, Operation Barbarossa was a strategic failure that strained Axis resources and morale past a horizon it would never recover from, despite initial summer victories. The northern group swiftly cut through the Baltic and besieged Leningrad, which would go on for years and end 1.5 million lives before it was over. The southern group, supported by Romanian and Italian armies, would advance through Ukraine, occupying Kiev, Kharkov, and the Crimean peninsula. The central group, tasked with the crucial target of Moscow and assigned more men and armor than any other, defeated heavy Soviet resistance in Belarus but failed to conquer Moscow, thwarted by the deadly chill of Russian weather, the determined city defenders under Zhukov's resourceful leadership, and a massive counter-offense by elite Siberian winter soldiers.
Russia suffered terribly, not just in terms of military, territory, and economic losses, but in human life. Millions starved to death under Nazi Germany's scorched earth policy, and widespread crimes against humanity committed against soldier and civilian alike. But Germany's own losses were irrecoverable, and after failures in Britain, Africa, the formal declaration of war against the United States, and the looming threat of a western front, could no longer afford to commit as much to subsequent eastern offenses in the years to come.

The World at War: "Stalingrad," by Thames Television Ltd. |
By the summer of 1942, Germany's Sixth Army, the former spearhead of Barbarossa's southern group, and the Fourth Panzers of the northern group, were mobilized again. Their target - oil fields in the Caucus region.

Beginning state of the 1942 scenario |
To be honest I'm not sure how historically accurate Crawford's 1942 scenario is. Another would be designed by one William Ted Farmer and distributed through APX, but I have no plans to play through it. Here, the line is continuous from Leningrad to Rostov, the Soviets aren't especially weak anywhere, and your line isn't especially strong anywhere. Your primary objectives remain the same - Moscow, Leningrad, and Stalingrad, but now you begin with a 131 point deficit and with the line being farther east than it was in 1941, secondary objectives including Smolensk and Kharkov are already taken and cannot contribute to your score further. The manual's scenario description mentions none of the historical context, only that the units are the same - 47 Axis units against 119 Soviets, and that most of your points will be awarded for destruction rather than mileage. Ominously, it warns:
You are surrounded and on the defensive. Only a fool would fight on....
All 47 Axis units are present from the start and will receive no reinforcements. At all. On average they have 80% of their 1941 strength values, though this fluctuates wildly - many are unchanged at all, and my Panzers and Fliegerkorps are particularly weakened. 1 Flieger Corps, for instance, has been reduced from 219 to 102. The Soviets begin with 67 units and are on average 30% stronger, though I have learned since my expert campaign to be mindful of fog of war which can give you completely wrong numbers. Overall, I bring approximately 5,400 muster strength, the Soviets bring nearly 8,000, and more is on its way.
On the plus side, we get four more weeks of summer than we do in the 1941 scenario.
Let's look at the order of battle. The divisions are largely arbitrary.

A maximally strong militia group defends Leningrad. Discounting the inert Finnish units I am outnumbered 2:1 and outpowered tit-for-tat on nearly every matchup, I have no air support here, and many of my units fight in the river at a further disadvantage. Still, Russian armies are pushed around more easily than German ones, but they must be damaged or encircled first. I cannot assume that my own pushes will always be successful any more.

The Soviets are stronger closer to Smolensk, I am stronger closer to Kharkov, though once again, some of my own units are in the river.

A difficult situation to read! Near Kharkov, units stare at each other across the Donets river, and fog of war obscures the Soviets' true strength. Near Rostov, I seem to hold the power advantage. Both ends have air support.

The militia around Leningrad do not budge, and two of my infantry remain trapped and seem impossible to rescue. In the parallel to Rzhev, the 10th infantry pushes itself right into a pincer it can't escape from and dies, and I have no idea what happened to 2 Infantry; on June 14th it is there on the southwest cluster, trying to push northward and by the end of the week it's gone.
There is much chaos and destruction to the Soviets, but whatever I can't destroy in the next few weeks will likely recover, and every assault comes at the risk of permanent muster loss. 8th and 9th Infantries, who are on the west edge of the middle cluster near Leningrad's swampland, illustrate this well; despite fighting from a terrain advantage, they've suffered major muster damage from engaging superior Soviets entrenched in the river, though they've dealt out much of their own.

The militia around Leningrad budge a little bit, and it frees 6 Infantry, but it's not nearly enough for a shot at freeing 5 Infantry from the semicircle trap or releasing the Finns. I think Leningrad is a lost cause.
6 and 7 Infantries, joined by 26 Infantry who got separated from the Rzhev group, have gained a bit of ground, but are still cut off from supplies and can't really move away from the situation until either of the Soviet tank units does thanks to the way ZOC works.
8 and 9 Infantry just aren't able to do very much at all. I'm really not sure why they took so much damage so quickly.
1 Infantry took a chance trying to crush a target of opportunity against 8/9, but the Soviets crushed them against said target instead. Whoopsie.

It's nice to be in control of the situation for once. I can finish off the Soviets here and let my supply-depleted units regain their strength. But after that, do I move north to provide relief to Rzhev and possibly go for Moscow, or do I first engage the incoming Soviet reinforcements to the east while the flat terrain and summer conditions still favor me?

Rostov is all but finished and the region nearly mine. I've already begun to send five of the units here up north where they will be put to better use. One of the Soviet units here slipped out from a four-way pincer trap, but it won't get far. Rostov itself may cost me muster strength, being defended by a pretty strong militia group.

Up north, it's getting very difficult to do damage to the Soviets, partly because their cavalry and tanks keep rolling out of my attempts to pincer attack with the infantry I've got available.
Down south, west of Rzhev, a desperate mid-July gambit takes out three infantry with the aid of some air support and moves the fight further up north, but the Soviets take out the airbase, one Panzer Corps, and severely damage another. Still, I may be in a position to take back control here.

Well, I was in control of the situation here, but the Soviets just aren't dropping as easily as I'd like them to, and reinforcements from the east, and from the northwest at Rzhev, are coming in faster than I'd like them to. I estimate things are going to get a lot worse here, real soon.

It's a similar story here as destroying anything with my depleted units just seems to take forever, and can come at major loss to my own muster strength for seemingly no reason.
Rostov itself is mine, though, and I am sending 35 Infantry southward to fight the mighty Sevastopol militia, who have been playing football with the Italians all summer.
