Normal Conditions
Visibility 4km.

Dig, dig, dig. With the Russian army fixed and no Germans seen, not much else to do. The way the game handles fixed units may seem strange. German air recon spotted Russian artillery in Mogilev and attacked the unit destroying eight guns and disrupting the unit in hex (26,28). The guns are still fixed! Same for the AT guns attacked south of the city along the river. Just one of the features that a defending player has to live with.

It is also a good example of how poor the command and control system of the 1941 Russian army was three weeks into the war on the eastern front. Stalin's purges had done the work for the invaders.
