Stalingrad 42 Breakout Group Zhuravlev

[Plain Ian]

Turn 11 Russian



Speaking of chess, in the east its looking like check mate here! Never have so many brain cells been killed by so few moves. This was the best I could do and he will probably still find a way to exploit it.
 
I've isolated one of his units but he will probably find a unit to fill the gap. I could not isolate him and yet protect myself from counter isolation. I also had to somehow protect my flanks.

If the disrupted enemy unit to the south  reorganises he has at least 10 units to manoeuvre. I've got 9 at the moment and 3 cut off. I have moved the 378th so that it is available. 

This is not going to end up well here in the east. I guess I should have moved up blasted his front line units to bits. Then halted so I could then move off the map in the last few turns and get some VP's. 

I've limbered up the 1263rd A/T Bn but they are looking at the stream to the south of them and saying.....sorry we can't cross that! Comrade Stalin will not be happy having to make more 76mm A/T guns.

I flew air recon and it confirms that he has a reception for me in Verkne-Buzinovka.
