Flashing Sword of Retribution

[Ivan]

Just a quick update. I've warned the Germans if they don't abandon Izyum I will reduce it to rubble with them in it. Else where, as Pablo says, he's ambushed a column heading for Volchansk which is inconvenient. The rest of the front is slowly being pushed to the west, with pockets of Germans either getting, or in danger of, being cut off. Everytime I seem to bag a large number, a lot of them seem to slip through the net. Their progress is slow as many are broken and disrupted from non stop combat. The German panzers are proving at times to be almost indestructable, often the only way to stop them is to cut them off from their suppy lines when they eventually start to disrupt and break in the face of much greater numbers of red army units.

Situation Izyum, 3rd of Feb. Will they run, open lines indicated in black.
