1201_01a Close Call at Kubinka HTH

[Plain Ian]

German Turn 14 arrived a few days ago. Not much action in it. Two assaults, one of which failed and no real progress. The Germans are still stalled outside the 100 VP hex  north east of Sememychi but have gained a hex towards the 75 hex north of Navaya. It looks like they have ran out of steam?


 
German 7th Division engages in firefights mainly with the undisrupted 1/113th. It takes heavy losses but does not disrupt. However it is just hovering below 200 fatigue like the 3/113th. The 1/322nd is 259 fatigue.

292nd/19th Panzers manage to disrupt the 2/113th and 467th Sappers but they recover. The armour groups hold their ground well and the 2/25th even turn back an assault. It was a valiant attempt as artillery had smashed a tank and inflicted several fatigue hits so there was a chance that the unit had disrupted. Unfortunately it had not.

258th Division did muster a successful assault which threw the 3/774th back on the 2/774th. The 878th AT lost most of its guns and is down to 1 gun and is disrupted. However the 2/774th and 3/774th have recovered so the threat is reduced.  The hero 4th Sapper Bn finally cracked and they disrupted and have not rallied.



At Naro-Fominsk it was relatively quiet. The 1/787th did not rally but was not assaulted. 

VP's and losses



VP's have climbed to 105 but he is a long way from 401 which is what he needs for a draw.
