Stalingrad 42 Breakout Group Zhuravlev

[Plain Ian]

Turn 17 Russian 



The assault finally went in at Osinovka. Assaults are my worst game playing feature. I usually agonise over them. I debated about making two assaults then went with the one. It went well enough. 

Same thing at Buzinovka. I picked my best unit 3/893rd then used the 3/884th. I guess I should have used 173rd as it was Low Ammo and more than enough to kill 3 men. This would have got the 173rd over the stream and allowed me to use the 2/893rd to move nw to support the 2/893rd. I have brought over the 397th to help out.

After the assault cleared the town I debated what to do with the 378th. I went with the simple option of just keeping it east of the river and attacking the non disrupted unit. Return fire from the 88's thankfully was weak? Only 4 guns but still enough to cause disruption. Low Ammo?

At Verkne-Buzinovka I've pulled back the disrupted units and made minor attacks. I was expecting the 2/20th 1/20th to take an 88 off of him but nope. 

Hopefully I'll remove the Broken unit next turn.
