Korsun 44

I'm reading the Nash book at the moment and I didn't get this impression about tank strength. E.g. page 28: "Due to this conservative method, the Red Army estimated that the Germans fielded in the salient over 130,000 men, 1,000 artillery pieces, and 100 tanks, an amount that was twice again as much as what the Germans actually had (in regards to artillery, the Germans had only a quarter of that amount)." His source for this is Glantz. But he also quotes German micro flim in other places, e.g. "At the time of the encirclement it still fielded 50 artillery pieces ..."talking about Rgt.GR 676. He also states in his notes on sources that he relies heavily on German microfilms available in the US National Archives.

I haven't seen the other book, I'm reading Nash as I've just ordered the game. Looking forward to trying V4 when it's ready.
