German Turn 16 - Night

Night falls but the firing continues. Two German units appear to have rallied, including one that was disrupted in last turns assaults. 

I've stopped separating artillery and direct losses on the map and will just show hexes which received artillery and total losses. I won't show enemy counter battery fire either.



3 front line Russian units were disrupted this turn and none recovered or rallied. The 2/25th managed to repair a T-60 and now have 28. (2 short of full complement) The 1/22nd and 1/25th are down to 19/20 tanks each and the 2/22nd has 24. The 33rd Tank Bde (off map) is still in reserve and has 59 runners. (1 lost to breakdown when it moved)

Russian armour lost 5 tanks this turn all BT-5's. These have a lower defense strength (4) than the T-60 (8) so are easy targets. The 1/25th lost its tanks to artillery fire and actually disrupted with the first barrage. The 1/22nd lost its tanks in a duel with the Pz 38's of 19th Panzer. They score nothing in return......

Losses to Russian infantry were quite heavy and return fire pretty desultory due to Disruption and high fatigue. Amazingly the 1/113th of 32nd Rifle Division remained un disrupted and is the only non disrupted infantry unit in the front line.



Not much action at Naro. The 2/1st Gds have gone yellow fatigue but this area is really a side show now.

Eldar hasn't advanced and we have 3 turns left after this one.
