Part 50

Its a mud turn, so there are no attacks, but I do move my German troops south, this is so that I can spread my lines and rely more on the Finns.







I'm a little worried about the heavy concentration of Guards units near Torzhok, the border between AGN and AGC. 9th Army is still good for nothing.



4th Army retreating in one hex where the Russians have massed a lot of tanks, but advance to the north.



We try and eliminate on of the pockets, but the Red Army are dug in, and they hold – I'll get them next week.







Some of the southern pocket is eliminated, but there are some harder sections that will not surrender.



With some deft manoeuvring, I isolate Rostov, and its defending units include the 1st Guards Tank Corps – its going to be a bad time for the Russian tanks soon.



Krasnodar is well defended it seems.



And I know why, the factories are still there. My constant patching seems to have broken the Russian ability to retreat them!







No attacks are mad, its the mud you see.



The ever present mud.....





Even with limited combat, the surrendering Russians still net us a good number or prisoners.



Our numbers jump over three million men, but the Russians are approaching six million far to rapidly.



The reinforcements come in nicely.



As do the supplies.



Next week, I hope to eliminate these pockets!
