Prussia in Peril - East Prussia '14 Central Powers AAR - major victory turn 114

[ComradeP]

Turn 49 06:00 26th of August 1914



Not much action by 1st Army yesterday, I think it was only released for 1 turn if was released at all. Units from Hauptreserve Koenigsberg are more or less where I left them after the 06:00 turn on the previous day.



The same goes for the men of I Reservekorps, though their peaceful moments of contemplation will soon be disturbed.



The rail line allows 35. ID to move right up to Willenberg. Note that division's field artillery and some MG units are still near Ortelsburg, as I still wasn't entirely sure if the Russians wouldn't make a push in the area. The area between Ortelsburg and Willenberg doesn't offer that many good fields of fire, so instead of having to move them to the front and back, I kept them on a ridge until I was sure the Russians were not coming.

The main body of 36. ID is slowly moving through the woods and swamp.



The Russians are slowly pulling back from the XX Armeekorps area north of Neidenburg, but at least 1 corps is still in position.



Hauptreserve Thorn moves into the area between Soldau and Mlawa and will form the link between I Armeekorps and Hauptreserve Graudenz. 

1. Kavallerie Division can't find any other units from 15th Cavalry Division and will stop looking for them.
