I need a little clarification. See below. Can someone tell me if TF Raz is to continue leaving these units behind or will it halt and end this movement phas e where it is now. All shot up units will be able to start movement again next turn.

I leave the ultimate decision to the Task Force commander but if he needs guidance my guidance is to continue to press on and leave the shot up units to regroup on their own.
Actually, it was not that bad. I conducted it by building a random map. Then all the units were placed on the map at the maximum distances allowed to still be in command. I then gave move orders to cross the map and played out the turns with a hidden German FO way off so that he could not take part and the required number of aircraft purchased by the Germans. Then I just ran the turns untill the air strikes were complete. That one infantry company seemed to be the preferred target with the mortar unit just getting an unlucky hit with it taking out the mortars and leaving the crews behind, almost fully intact. I integrated them back into the infantry company that got beat up to brin their numbers up as the were getting close to the 50% threshhold. I think that the high winds affected the German ability to hit it's targets. A few passes had zero effect.

Russia would like to return the favor - if the weather is good enough for German flying then the Russian Sturmoviks can fly too - unless you are saying that the Germans foolishly purchased airpower in stead of ground units (?). I thought weather in this battle was heavy snow (?)
Commanders, it may be that the Germans purchased a large amount of air power at the expense of purchasing ground units. That air power beat up TF Raz a bit but not decisively - might mean they are scared of him in their rear :)
That might make them vulnerable across the map to attacks.
Try to ascertain the nature of the Germans confronting you on your front and if they appear light - recon and then push them if you can!
Might be we can take the city and cut off all their supply roads as well in a double envelopment kind of battle.

I will go with your suggestion of leaving the disrupted and shot up troops behind, unless I hear otherwise in the next little while. The weather is clear but freezing and very windy.

I understand we had a series of air attacks on task force RAZ. Like all Russian commanders I am sure a good regrouping and kick in the pants will get the troops moving. Will follow all orders that are in effect.

greetings comrades,
I have developed new anti-personnel round. We stuffed our tank barrels with nails, chainS and german belt buckles.
