Here's what happened at 137,68 [ I sunk a Soviet battleship ]:

Here's what happened at 144,90:

Here's what happened at 145,85:

Okay, that's the results of the 64 combats in round 1. Now to do the moving etc. for
round two.

Oh, here's the air report for the aircraft losses in round 1:

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the total losses from round 1. They are higher than I was expecting.

I finally decided where to move the 5th Brandenburg unit. I divided it into 3 seperate
units and dropped them on the east side of some Soviet units to finish the surround on
them.

[larryfulkerson]

I decided that the 2/37 arty needed to be repositioned for the next push.

[larryfulkerson]

I decided to move the 51st Nebel Werfer as shown so as to lend a hand in opening a path
along the road. I sorta need that road for my Panzers to advance.

[larryfulkerson]

It might be prudent to move the 70th NW up along the road to add it's punch to the next
push.

[larryfulkerson]

It's almost a no-brainer to put the 53rd NW between those two Soviet units.

[larryfulkerson]

I need the road junction that Soviet division is sitting on to get my Panzers moving so I
thought maybe the 52nd NW could help destroy that guy.

[larryfulkerson]

The 1st Bautrupp decided to jump on that broken railroad and fix it.

[larryfulkerson]

I have two anti-tank units sitting within range of some Soviet armour but I have decided
to forgo moving them into attack mode. I've heard that anti-tank units don't fair all that
well on offensive operations and for sure we don't need high losses in the anti-tank units.

[larryfulkerson]

Next to move is the 251st Inf Div. Only one of the regiments has enough movement
points to attack in the second round and it's set to attack at min. losses.

[larryfulkerson]

Next to move is the 207th Sec Div. One of the batallions moves
north to help herd the Soviet MP unit and one regiment and one
batallion are set to attack the Soviet stack in the woods at min.
losses.

[larryfulkerson]

Next to move is the 285th Sec Div. The HQ unit moves into a position to share it's arty tubes. One of the regiments executes an RBC attack on the Soviet MP unit. Another of the regiments moves to the SE side of the Soviet MP unit.

[larryfulkerson]

Next to move is the 32nd Inf Div. The HQ unit moves to share its arty tubes better. The three regiments move onto the road hex. Then one of the regiments executes an RBC on the Soviet AT gun and then another regiment does the same thing. The next thing you know the Soviet AT gun is destroyed.

[larryfulkerson]

There's no moving involved for the 121st Inf Div. All three regiments are set to attack at
min. losses.

[larryfulkerson]

Next to move is the 123rd Inf Div. The HQ unit moves to share its arty tubes better. The 28th Korps moves to help surround the two Soviet MP units. One of the 123rd regiments moves to the east side of the two MP units and the remaining regiment moves one hex north to join in the attack.

[larryfulkerson]

The next mover is the 18th HQ unit which moves to the NE side of the Soviet division. I'm thinking that the Axis aircraft will become part of the surround on that Soviet division so that moving up a combat unit on the NW side will complete the surround.
