Here's the T18 front lines:

Here's a news string I got in T19:

Here's the front lines in T19 before anybody has moved yet.

It looks like Dan has pulled out to the west in the southern edge of the front lines. I wonder if I can take advantage of that somehow.

[larryfulkerson]

This is what the front lines look like after I've moved everybody. This is the end-of-turn view.

Here's the T20 front lines before anybody has moved:

Here's the T21 front lines:

[larryfulkerson]

I just now repaired the last major bridge between me and Kharkov. But it might be for nothing, since Dan has 90% of his forces there
already. Well, maybe that's a slight overstatement but he's got stacks of equipment sitting there. I may be in serious trouble.

[larryfulkerson]

I did an attack on the north edge of the front lines and got pretty good results:

Here's the T22 front lines before anybody has moved:

Here's the T23 front lines:

[larryfulkerson]

I'm approaching the bottom edge of the map. When I get there I guess I'll turn to the west and drive on.

[larryfulkerson]

New turn new picture.

T25's front lines before anybody has moved:

[larryfulkerson]

Here's a view of Kharkov itself. Dan has fortified the city but I outnumber him and can probably surround the city with some heroic
effort. There's only about 24 moves left and the supply level is too low to support operations and so this game will probably end as a
draw.

T26's front lines. I've caught up w/ the westward moving German units and they are starting to stand and fight. This game is starting to
get exciting.

[larryfulkerson]

Dan tried to sneak some units into my rear areas in the northern part of the lines but I did some readjusting of the units nearby and it
looks like I may have sealed off both the river crossings that could be enemy avenues of approach.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's a view of Kharkov now. I managed to outflank and surround some German units and that was a surprise even for me because
I didn't think it was possible what w/ the low movement rates through the ice and snow and all.

[larryfulkerson]

And this area further south from the previous one......I'm trying to get a couple of surrounds going here too.

[larryfulkerson]

And here's the south edge of the map. I'm thinking of swinging the front lines south and east to finish the surround on that southernmost
German grouping. That would leave my lines wide open however and is relatively risky. I need some recon units to screen for me so I
can swing those guys down and over.
