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

[ComradeP]

Turn 68 12:00 28th of August 1914



Instead of making a temporary stand west of Insterburg, I decided to move 3. Reserve Division west a bit into more favourable terrain where the Russians are funnelled into a narrow path, more suitable for a delaying action.



The steamroller is heading for I. Reservekorps, but thus far it can be held at bay.



Russian forces move against the feint at Zareby as the rest of XVII Armeekorps quietly sneaks across the Omulew, with lead elements approaching the Orzuc river.



The divisional frontage is widened to make sure units or ZOCs block a line of supply.

There are still no Russian units in front of 1. Kavallerie Division, 2nd Army has been outflanked.



Another overview screenshot. The 2nd Army pocket will be big, but no Russian units are in a position to block my units closing the pocket.
