Victory points after the Russian turn twelve.


Not a bad turn. Victory points were a small gain for the Germans. Losses were 259 Russian and 141 German infantry. Equal in S41 terms. The German advance ground forward only a couple of hexes. The Russian lines are intact. The Russian artillery will be ready for more action soon.
The down side, is 900 Russian troops in three units were surrounded by strong German forces. No chance to get them out. These were the ones in the best condition. So a lesson in what not to do. Spread out those good order units to protect the flanks of any concentration of forces. Unfortunately, with the German firepower, there are no safe places to try and create a good order stack with some hitting power. It is typical to have problems with disrupted and broken units in the front lines. Russian foot units move slow. When fatigued and disrupted it is hard to get them out of the front lines. Those guys are gone. Just have to tighten my belt and pass out more ammunition.
