Turn 10 - Ground (Sept. 26, 1942)
Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2022 8:55 pm
NOTES:
Army Group A
XXXXIV Corps (97th and 101st Jaeger Div., 297 and 370th Inf. Div. and 454th Sec. Div.), DA that Soviet corps and caused it a lot of casualties and to be routed. CPP ranges from 79 to 20, so need to see what the AI does and will respond to that, but would like to push east.
1st Panzer Army
V Corps (9th, 125th and 298th Inf. Div.), attached the newly arrived 801st N. Caucasus Btln and put it on refit The 298th ID is withdrawing next turn so that leaves a hole in my line, both of the other two divisions have full CPP for next turn. Will need to attach and move the 2nd Rum. Mtn. Div. into its area.
III Pz Corps (13th and 23rd Panzer. Div., along with 198th Inf. Div. and 203rd Stug Btln.) conducted both DA and cleared the way for the LVII Pz Corps. CPP from 46 to 59
LVII Pz Corps (3rd Panzer Div., Wiking SS Mot. Div. and 16th Mot. Div.), I could have did more with this corps, initially the two motorized divisions went due east and found no easy picking so I swung them north to help the III Pz Corps and the Wiking SS Mot. Div. cleared out and made a hole for next turn.
XXXX Pz Corps (1st SL Mob. Div. with attached 191st and 210th Stug Btlns. and 6 artillery Btlns), moved the single division in the corps for the upcoming assault on Novorossiysk.
17th Army
XXXXIX Mtn Corps (73rd Inf. Div., 1st Mountain and Bergmann Ost Mtn Rgt.), still feel not strong enough yet to assault the 394th Rifle Division, but time is running out and will need to attack soon.
LII Corps (46th and 111th Inf. Div. and 4th Mountain Div.), now that the 1st Slovak Mobile is present with Stug and hopefully plenty of artillery the assaults on Novorossiysk can be begin soon. Hope NP can be a bit more effective.
3rd Rumanian Army
Cav RM Corps (5th, 6th and 9th Cav. Div., and 6 artillery Btlns), still refitting.
VII Rum. Corps (19th Rum. Inf. Div. and 3rd Rum. Mtn. Div.), newly arrived 8th Cav. Div. all units refitting.
