Dog Fight - Ostkreig Tournament Round 2

[Ricky B]

Soviet Turn 10. Midnight turn.

Time to resupply and fuel up for the day, and this turn, unlike the prior one, resulted in relatively poor supply this turn, as shown below. In addition to what shows in the command report, I have 13 units low on fuel, so they will have to be careful. My plan for the turn is to keep pushing forward in the west. I can't see any German troops so the turn will begin with short moves to identify th enemy positions and then try to formulate a plan to take advantage of any weaknesses found.

In the center, my bridgehead is weakening but some units are getting rested and slightly rebuilt - they will have to return to action soon to prevent a collapse of the bridgehead. The mobile units were trapped again this turn, but to their north the infantry unit holding them in position is disrupted so I will assault with my wandering T34 to enlarge the pocket to 3 hexes and thus buy some time.

In the east, one stack of 2 cavalry units are all disrupted, so I will switch those units out with others behind them, preparing to resume the attack in the morning, while the other cavalry stack in the front line pressure the stack holding them in place.



The western push sees the only significant action of the turn, and sees much better results than I had expected. One T-34 unit is able to push back a German recon vehicle unit and almost open up a hole. More importanly, just north of the 250 pt objective at the State Farm, my 3 T-34 units are able to push the Germans back quite a distance and force a deep wedge in their lines. These 2 attacks to each side of the objective should result in its quick fall.

In the east the cavalry do disrupt another German unit so of the 4 units they face 2 are disrupted, so the attack should really gain momentum in the morning.
