Victory points after the German turn one.


I begin the withdrawal from German Chir river bridgehead. The mines and terrain should slow any Russian pursuit. The LW troops in the west fall back to avoid Russian infantry fire when the Russians there become mobile and lose their fixed status in turn two. The LW infantry is slow. The hill to the south is steep. That is why they have to abandon their positions and move on this first turn.
The 11th PD attacks destroying one T-34 unit and forcing back the Russian mechanized infantry. The red arrow shows the assault. Other 11th PD and 338th ID units make contact. The Germans rake the Russians in the Sulatskiy bridgehead with direct and artillery fire attempting to disrupt Russian units slowing their movement in their turn.
In the southeast, 250 motorcyclists of the 11th PD move into the village next to where the Soviet cavalry will cross. An additional 465 men of Alarm Btl Heilmann move up to enter the village next turn. Their HQ occupies their hex to preserve the TRENCH there for later use.
