Winter Operations - Kharkov '43: Round 1

[Dog Soldier]

Dog Soldier (Allies) and Partizanka (Axis) completed our game. A Soviet minor victory 969 VP.
Tough going for the poor peasant infantry of the Motherland. They did their duty and made a crack in the German defense. The Cavalry pounded through while the Mechanized brigade and infantry rounded up dazed German prisoners. The SS Police got the worst of it. Death's head is a death sentence on the Eastern front.

Partizanka played a skillful defense. It was not compromised, just caught between the need to defend Kupyansk (successfully) and the exit hex. Calvary Corps was just one turn away for exiting entirely. His defense delayed that outcome well.
