Soviet Turn 18, end of battle.
After 17 tough turns of battle, the battle is reaching the end, with exhaustion on both sides. The battle is won by this time, the question being how far my Soviets can advance here at the end.
I plan on clearing up the trapped German units along the river, and pushing on the forces in my front. The enemy has pulled back from the cavalry in the east, so they will advance with the more rested units and try to make contact with the enemy that is nearby.
My Soviet troops manage to cause quite a few losses to the German forces this last turn, reaching this final situation. The overall losses are fairly equal, but the German troops are worth more points, and they lost too many objectives to make up for it.
The final score is 63 points, which does not reflect how tough the fighting was throughout the battle.
Dog Soldier and I will follow up with a summary of the battle and thoughts on how it unfolded.
