Really Rumbling on the Mius

[Dog Soldier]

Turn 9


Again the rocket artillery comes through. After another turn of pounding Gustafel’d into rubble, the rocket artillery in the bunker hex north of Petopolye (8,9) disrupts the village defenders. The long suffering assault engineers assisted by two battalions of the 347th ID clear the village of Germans. One of the engineers is disrupted. Sixteen men are lost to 39 Germans in the assault.

Repeated artillery barrages, direct fire attacks and assaults against the 336th ID unit in center at hex (8,7) failed to dislodge it. The same for the “iron men” hex on hill 164. The infantry of the 294th ID held. This limited my attack on the summit 150 VP location hex ((6,4). Direct fire from the rocket artillery and the assaulting battalions of the 387th ID coming up the eastern slope did not disrupt the 294th ID regimental HQ. A final last gasp assault by the KV tanks caused even more casualties to the German HQ unit. The HQ still held its ground.

As it is I have 410 VP, a major Russian victory.


In the German half of the last turn, the AI only added one VP to my total bringing the final game result to 411. The AI did not attack to retake any VP locations.
