Victory points after the German
turn sixteen.


I am still losing ground and VP each turn. I can not change the tide of the attrition.
I have set up the best defense I can to prevent a breakthrough on the western side and in the Russian cavalry zone. The Russian cavalry, could break out to the south since my units there are the weakest. I do not think RickyB is trying to push the cavalry south, thus my current deployment is set to stop a move to the north.

I managed to reduce the Russian armor pocket near the Sulatskiy bridgehead. My 11th PD infantry along the river are now at full fatigue so they can no longer help the engineers in assaults. The Russian artillery protecting the Sulatskiy bridgehead has been very consistent in delivering strikes on my stacks threatening the bridgehead. My infantry attack is now bogging down under from accumulated fatigue. A large part of that fatigue is due to the Russian artillery. I was not expecting such consistent artillery support from the Russians for sixteen turns.

Over all, I am able to inflict the same casualties on the Russians that they inflict on me. At this point in the game that is not good enough as the entire German force is being worn down to the breaking point. It is now a question of when the Germans will break. Maybe I can prevent a break through until turn eighteen and pray for a lucky break.
