So i squeeze in 3 tank corp and lose a very winnable attack.

Really: over 650 tanks, and the defender not dug in.

This very large attack came up short. Swamp hex is key defense spot in this clear terrain area

Just a bash fest back and forth

First of many attacks to break the pocket

I have 1 tank with over 16 MP (the yellow 11-21)

My other tanks outside the line would only get to this 11-21 hex with 15mp left. Leaving hasty attacks.

Won't attempt to break thru there

The Germans are running out of summer season to inflict pain.

And the Russians have lost very little and will get stronger every month.
