The Kharkov '43 Grand Campaign - Vasili.I.Chuikov - 12-21-2019 The Kharkov '43 Grand Campaign Turn 76 of 449, February 9, 4:00 p.m. Brief Soviet report: Bad news for STAVKA, day 9 dawned with sun and good weather and a plague of Germans in a swimsuit next to the river Sukhoy Torets next to the city of Slavyansk, the chains of their tanks are greased with sunscreen and increase the temperature of the Battle and game dramatically. But before continuing we make a small review of the three parts of the front, without deepening too much and sending the greatest number of information manipulated from our literature propaganda machinery Gazeta. North Front: The city of Belgorod is occupied by the enemy, it is estimated that the enemy is carrying out major fortification and trenches with the objective of carrying out a defense line that allows him to keep his back to the city itself and the units that protect the Severnyy river Donets throughout your journey.  The work of slowing down the German units on the main road that leads to this city continues and the progress becomes a slow, leisurely and calm advance. An advanced group discovers a position of control and security in the city of Cherkasskoye and eliminates it. Central Front: The German units crossed the bridge over the Staryy Saltov river a few hours ago, this front is completely static until the relocation of its units. He had to fight to cross this river, the German player has turned it into a barrier of bunkers, it is clear that blood will spill throughout this river. South Front: The city of Andreyevka was conquered without opposition. Continue the advance of the units taking positions on the Severnyy Donets River, we continue to find entrenched enemy units and testing their positions. With the beginning of the day Slavyansk the good weather arrived and an authentic avalanche of German troops and tanks began, the Soviet positions were fortified with Bunkers on the outskirts of the city. The Bunker line was not finished and therefore it was a weak line, it took a little more time to finish it. Gradually they were disorganizing the defenders and managed to penetrate the line of bunkers baptized as Javierov in honor of the commander of this game, the Soviet player tried to make a manual defense, not even a step back! to avoid the recoil of the first front line the result of a success, the German player does not advance a single centimeter at the cost of 1500 glorious casualties of the 195 Division of the rifle, the objective is clear, get as much time as possible to be able to go back and save as much as possible. The battle and its progress continues, but a very disorganized backward defense of the Soviet style is being made and that for the moment is paying off, the 195 Th is working hard and giving the full life of the division in order to get them to back the largest number of troops to safer areas behind the river, we will continue to report this battle that will surely bring many casualties to our glorious side that is sacrificing itself for a greater good in this glorious game. Suggestions: Maybe the German is too strong to start an offensive so soon in the south of Slavyansk, maybe the stage designer should consider leaving the fixed units to avoid something non-historical. We have a weather forecast for 2h, one last not having a forecast for the next day's weather. A pity that when a unit dies cannot return to the game with replacements, incomplete divisions remain. Or that these same incomplete divisions can be dismantled to make new or complete divisions. I put an image of turn 17, you can see how the game is evolving, with some time delay but STAVKA does not want to reveal our positions. I can not put the image that facilitates the game, it tells me that it weighs a lot. Any suggestions a greeting
