Dog Fight - Ostkreig Tournament Round 2

[Ricky B]

Soviet Turn 16.

Both sides appear battered, most of my units are well into yellow or red fatigue, and losses have been heavy. My trapped units were assaulted and nearly destroyed, they gave their lives for Mother Russia. I am pushing south to try and exit a few units, although not needed for the win, it appears. Brian commented this turn that my artillery has done most of the damage, and that he is surprised how much they have fired, without apparent ammo problems. But about 1/3 of the artillery, on average, has been unavailable each turn.

As can be seen in the command report, 8 of 23 artillery units are unavailable this turn, along with many units being low ammo. A large portion of my army is disrupted also, leaving them incapable of offensive action.



The cavalry continues their advance in the east, and I finally commit more light armor to holding the important defensive positions along the river bank.

And in the west, I manage to reach some of the few remaining artillery units. I believe we are both at the point of mutual exhaustion.
