Part 48

Its a mud turn, so no movement of note in the north.







The Russians step back in the south of 9th Armies section of the line, and we advance into the gap.



4th Army moves into the gap created by the Russian pull back, but the advances are not as large as I was hoping.







9th Army also advances forwards, but only a short distance.



After that the 2nd and 3rd Panzer armies, supported by 17th Army secure the advances from last week, cutting off a number of troops – including a tank corps!



With their reduced tank numbers, the loss of this unit could be critical to the Russians.
17th Army eliminates the Russians we surrounded last week.



We get the 9th Panzer Division over the Don, giving me the opportunity to move forwards from here.



We continue to expand out of the Crimea. Krasnodar is now in our sights.







No attacks, but lots of reported movements.



The Tank Corps is still captured, along with three other brigades and a division.



The mud has cleared once more, and we have two mechanized divisions across the Don. I run recon missions now to give people a better idea of how the Russians are deployed.







The Russians take some heavy losses, but nowhere near as heavy as I'd like them to.



There is little change in overall numbers.



Even with replacements going in strong.



The fuel pool recovers well in the week of good weather, and we're ready for more combat manoeuvres.
