Victory points after the Russian turn thriteen.
We have reached the halfway point. The Germans have 899 VP. If I can hold him to this rate per turn I can still get a draw. I would like to slow his VP/turn rate to make sure that is still possible.
Von Nev is making a strong effort to drive down the main road cutting across the board. He pushed back the remnants of the 187th Rifle Division’s recon Bn to reach the only high ground in the area. Guess he wanted a peek behind the Russian lines. I made several artillery attacks and one infantry assault, but could not dislodge the German A/C. I brought over some more units to tighten my grip on his flanking units so he will not have a freedom of movement to exploit this move.
I have tried to position the Soviet troops as best I can to avoid another large stack of “herded” troops here. I hope they can hold or at least not retreat into a pocket. S41 Russians have a very annoying habit of retreating into pockets when assaulted.
