Stalingrad 42 Breakout Group Zhuravlev

[Plain Ian]

Turn 13 Russian



Three assaults here.

A) 371st assaults after decent fire results from the 1/20th  and 3/20th. Enemy unit is pushed back on group C after (NE/-2).

B) After artillery and fire support from the 358th Tank the 166th Motorised attempts an assault. It fails but the enemy takes heavy losses. (-7/-28) The 359th Tank moves up and wins the next assault (NE/-3).

The 364th and 370th maintain pressure on the centre. 

The 196th Division keeps up the firefights on the right. The 2/863rd takes the hits.

Slight progress but I'm sure Mike has everything in hand here.
