Dog Fight - Ostkreig Tournament Round 2

[Dog Soldier]

German turn 18.
14:00 PM December 13, 1942
Snow Conditions


Victory points after the German
turn eighteen.


The Russians continue to collapse the German resistance and slaughter them. German offensive power was gone three turns ago. One more Russian turn is left to pile on the victory points! :whis:
It is probably fitting that the last turn finds the 48th Pz Corps HQ out of command. The general must have shot himself.

The attacks on the Sulatskiy bridgehead can make no more progress this final turn. The Soviets are closing in on the Sulatskiy bridgehead in the north and would soon join the western and Sulatskiy bridgeheads. I would have withdrawn the pzgr and engineers of the 11th PD from the riverbank if this was a longer scenario. As it is, it does not matter so I left them in place to be surrounded.

The Soviet cavalry is moving forward and expanding their bridgehead to the west. This Soviet group can do nothing more. I have contained them with a pretty small commitment of force for the entire game. I am satisfied with this front in the scenario.

I inflicted on the Soviets a loss of 148 vehicles to my loss of 83. That is 78% more vehicles lost for the Soviets than the Axis forces. Infantry losses were about the same. Guns lost were much more on the Axis side. Many of these were the AT guns lost when they were put into the front to stop the Russian T-34s who were the mauling the LW infantry in the southwest.
Equal losses though are not enough for the Axis in this scenario. Too much ground had to be given up and thus the VP difference is from the lost VP hexes.
