Victory points after the German
turn
Russian T-34s assaulted the state farm and took it. Only 9 men escaped. The T34s in the west ravage my units at will. I can not inflict more damage on the Russians than they do on me.
I have rounded up the isolated Russian armor in my center into one hex. Next turn I can deal them a crippling blow.
The Pzgr infantry of the 11th PD took Ostrovskiy village this turn. I am now adjacent to the Russian 250 VP hex. The rubble in the village and trenches will shelter my troops for the final push. There are Russian units stuffed in all the remaining hexes of the bridgehead. I may not be strong enough or have enough time to liquidate them. I can only try.
The Soviet cavalry are beginning to breakout. I have managed to disrupt half of the cavalry units. The rate of the breakout will be determined by how many of these units rally.
I think the game is lost to a total Russian victory. The math is against me. I will try to harvest the Sulatskiy bridgehead by repositioning what units I have left to try and take Russian prisoners there with the 250 VP hex. There is no longer any reason to hold ground anywhere else.
