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

[ComradeP]

Turn 81 06:00 30th of August 1914



The first cautious cavalry probes were beaten off with assaults at Mehlauten.



3. Reserve Division needs to pull back more rapidly than would normally be the case in the good defensive terrain as 1. Reserve Division south of it has to move west each turn.



36. Reserve Division pulled back to the southern banks of the Omert aside from a screen between Nordenburg and Drengfurth to slow down Russian attempts.



With the bridge at Chorzele secured, the line I need to hold to keep the Russians in the pocket isolated is shortened considerably.

Hauptreserve Graudenz and Hauptreserve Thorn will move in from the west.

XX Armeekorps will move to the area north of Krzynowloga Mala. The marshes and streams in the area will slow it down, but there's no good defensive terrain beyond those few hexes.

I Armeekorps will continue to shift east slowly.

XVII Armeekorps will move in from the east, though with only 35. ID. The brigade of 36. ID that's in the area will move south-east to form a screen against relief attempts from that direction.
