Dog Fight - Ostkreig Tournament Round 2

[Ricky B]

Soviet Turn 17.

The battle is winding down as exhaustion traps both sides. My Soviets are worn out and barely able to hold on by this time, fortunately the Germans are in worse shape. I have decided to give up the river bank to the Germans in my central bridgehead, they are down to about 40 men and 4 T70 tanks, so I will fall back to the bridge hexside itself, relying on the units just south of the riverbank to protect things as that is a relatively strong stack still.

Also, the Germans still present on the river are vulnerable to isolation this turn, and I have units north of the river that can help trap the PanzerGrenadiers in position. This set of moves will end the threat of the Germans to my bridgehead, which had nearly faded away already.



The attacks and moves in the north work to isolate 3 German units, which will prevent them from escaping or threatening my forces at all. It has been a tough battle but one that the brave Soviet soliders have done what was needed to beat the tough, experienced Germans.
