German Turn 10 - Dawn



The Dawn turn begins and the Germans resume their advance. The German 7th continues its battle with my 32nd Division. The 2/17th disrupts but so does a German Bn. His losses still exceed mine.

The 19th Panzer Division finally appears. A Motorised Bn is in the woods and his armour faces off against my T-60 Bn. He loses 2 tanks and I lose none in the battle. However German artillery pounds the Russian armour in revenge and knocks out 2.

The Command Report brings good news. The 33rd Tank Bde is now released and the 1/25th recovered a BT-5 tank. 



At Navaya the 258th resumes its advance. German infantry plod forward in the deep snow. The movement cost of Storm is so high that they now cannot move into a woods hex and fire. They take light casualties from my opportunity fire. German artillery does its best to support the advance.

Despite the cost and slowness of his advance, Eldars email is still optomistic that he can make an advance on the 250 VP hex.
