Stalingrad 42 Breakout Group Zhuravlev

[Plain Ian]

Mikes turn back this morning. 



Losses



The Russians took major losses this turn as expected. 11 guns lost. I think 5 of these were artillery losses from the 298th Artillery Rgt which was left behind in the pocket and the other 6 look to be anti tank guns from the 415th in the south of the pocket. Will check things when I run the replay.

So its finally daylight on the second day and here is the Command report.



The good news is colour coded green. Some good news isn't that great. The air unit available is only a recon unit. 3 units recovered disruption this turn which is helpful. The best news is that the 5th Gds Rocket Rgt is available this turn to help the 13th Tank Corps/1st Tank Army  in the south.

The bad news is that I have a new group of units isolated. Its not in the pocket, its units in the east from 4th Tank Army........rats.

Maps shortly after I watch replay.
