Right on the border: the SEC moves east 1 hex. The rifle division moves west one hex. Pocket broken.

I would probably have to reread the manual on who gets control of a hex when it would be disputed like that.

Doesn't that middle hex (soviet controlled in the pic) become axis controlled at the start of the soviet turn since there is not soviet zoc in it - in effect like the large area of the Lvov pocket that switch to axis control at the start of the soviet turn?
 
This makes it harder to breach.

I'm real happy with the latest  and last south plan, I spent the whole evening trying to break it and came 2 hexes short everytime, not saying an expert couldn't do it however. [:)] FWIW those tanks on the edges that look threatening have been knocked around pretty good already.
 

 
 

Yes, the middle hex will change to my control, the armor has a ZOC there and the Soviets do not

Hi Charon, with what did you dislodge the row of soviet defenders infront of Rovno?, there is usally some Soviet armour and i think a mech, cant seem to do both (the pocket and clear these 5 Rovno hexes)

Should have been AGC armor IIRC.

Stange, i get "defence held" when i attack them with armor.

This is my AGS pocket. It activates the southern front, doesn't use any AGC assets, doesn't require splitting divisions, and as far as I can tell, is bombproof. It does result in a smaller pocket than the ones shown above, but I don't want to strip AGC at all.

Please note that I only moved the pocketing units in that screenshot - I didn't move any other units or carry out any other attacks.

Another variant in the south:

You left your RR engineer unprotected.

From where it can be attacked?? It has sure ZOC

If it is from the game vs. me, I didnt see them

The Soviet unit only needs to move next to it. A one hex move is always possible for only one selected unit.

Zero CV units auto displace when an enemy moves adjacent.

I believe it will displace just like an HQ if an enemy unit moves adjacent.

EDIT: I see someone beat me to it.[8D]

When you say bombproof, do you mean the Soviet cannot reconnect?

yes

I Know, but I thought any isolated unit could move to the adjacent hex ... i was lucky

Is that a tank division split up into regiments at Tarnapol?

The Soviets have some powerful Mech/Tank Divisions in the South. They would probably smack a regiment,cos its an easy target. They could also surround your regiments to give ZOC penalties. You would have to move the regiments then rearwards to recombine, spending some of your precious movement points.

I cant tell easily if they are regiments cos of Imageshacks smaller image size.

I made contact with the 2 divisions on Romanian border. And yes they are regiments but I had not enough MP to attack or they held, cannot remember(its a week ago).

Yes, I tried to get the Soviets to break the pocket maybe a dozen times to account for the variable movement allowances and they just can't get through the ZOC. The key is to have one armor unit with enough movement to reach that rail line west of Stanislav.
