1201_01a Close Call at Kubinka HTH

[Plain Ian]

Eldar’s turn 15 has come back. It’s another pretty steady turn. Two assaults which failed for some reason and some good shooting from the Germans. His artillery targeted my tanks and I lost 7 in total this turn. 

German 7th Division continued their fire fights with the 32nd Rifle division. Despite heavy losses the 1/113th did not disrupt.

19th Panzer/292nd Div made no assaults but kept up fire. All adjacent infantry units are disrupted but my tanks despite artillery and tank fire losses still stand firm.

258th Division launched two individual assaults on the 4th Sappers which should have succeeded? The hero Sapper Bn is down to about 300+ men but this probably still dwarfs the German assaulting Bn’s? They both disrupted and subsequently then failed to take the hex.

The rest of the 258th concentrated mainly on the 2/774th and 3/774th which are about to become red fatigued.

At Naro-Fominsk the Guards were out shot. In fact they disrupted after the first loss of 9 men. If he had assaulted at that point he would have gained the hex. The Guards have rallied though at the end of the turn.

And that was the 2nd December Dusk turn.

I will do my turn tomorrow. I can’t see me moving anything although all the red fatigued units should be pulled back and much of my defences could be left to my tanks. The 100 VP hex looks safe but the 75 VP hex probably should be reinforced.
