Russian Turn 9

Sorry for delay. I went off last week on holiday to get some sun. I only had an hour to play my turn and no time to post anything. Just read my notes and finished the maps. Mikes turn is already back.



My moves for the pocket are shown. 

I  have managed to extract the 3 cut off units in the west using the 2/753rd and the 644th Tank Bn. The 644th actually helps two units escape then manages to move back to its original position.

The 644th is probably going to be needed in the south. Hopefully the 2/40th can fill the gap now even though its Low Fuel.

In the north the 2/88th pulled back but return fire disrupted the 1/88th. Rats. I had to use 3/676th as a fall back support unit. Its at Fatigue 199.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the moves. Probably the best I could do in a rush. The south is still a big problem.
