Prussia in Peril - East Prussia '14 Central Powers AAR - major victory turn 114

[ComradeP]

Turn 108 12:00 2nd of September 1914




The Landwehr continue to retreat in good order.



Russian reservists and three cavalry divisions steadily increase the pressure on the Landwehr east of Damerau.

The rivers turn the approach to Wehlau into a funnel of sorts and the compressed 3. Reserve Division is quite capable of trading blows with the Russians in these conditions.

Festung Koenigsberg artillery on the north bank of the Pregel starts to fire over open sights on the Russian 28th Infantry Division units south of the river. Cavalry and engineer companies move hex, the artillery fires, and the companies move back in to keep the artillery out of Russian LOS.



1. Reserve Division continues to move towards the Alle crossing at Friedland. A thin Pionier screen keeps an eye on the Russians that are now crossing the Alle south of Wehlau.



The line of 36. Reserve Division grows ever thinner. I'm trading space for time as the reinforcements from the Western Front are slowly moving into position.



Disrupted units highlighted.

The 2nd Army pocket continues to be rolled up from the west and north. The Russian forces holding the southern tip have not been heavily engaged yet.
