Tank Graveyard at Minsk-AAR

[Cole]

Russian final move.

Each side has battled to a stalemate. Neither side came close to capturing the other's assigned VP hex but the Germans hold a 2:1 advantage in strength point losses inflicted.

I was able to turn back the only German assault but was not able to cross the open fields west of the hill.

The screen shot below is a copy of the turn where I made the wrong decision. I should not of attacked to the south but after clearing out the threat to the north should of cleared out and secured the paved road inside the woods just south of the hill (marked German Interior Lines). The side that controls that road splits the map. Only then should I have advanced in force towards the enemy HQ. I would of suffered serious losses due to nice open LOS avenues between the woods but I would of had nothing to fear from the north and any German move to flank me to the south could be dealt with easily from any force left on the hill.

Great game and thanks to all those that were interested in our AAR.
