Like the game but need help

[Vease101]

Once you get used to the idea of checking each unit in a stack rather than the stack itself it Isn't too hard to get to grips with, however I am having trouble using units efficiently. I have played the Voronezh scenario three times now as the German side and have ended up with a Soviet Minor Victory each time. I cannot find a way to exploit breakthroughs in the initial Soviet line. What happens is that any armoured or motorised units that bust out into the rear areas just get cut off and destroyed. If I restrict the movement after a breakthrough then the Soviets just plug the hole and set up a new line and even though I can annihilate the Soviet units eventually I run out of time to reach the objectives, Voronezh in particular.

Can anybody explain to me what the correct way to exploit the initial breakthrough is?

I broke out on a three hex frontage and had enough follow up troops to fill the hole. You have a couple of divisions in the rear. Like you I am new to this game but am enjoying. Also if the hole is big enough the soviets will retreat.

I find that scenario to be far the hardest to win as the Germans, so don´t be too discouraged if you cannot win it yet. Try some of the other small scenarios or perhaps the campaign. You can always return later

Historically the Soviets made some big mistakes here not properly defending Voronezh and its hard to replicate the historical result against a Soviet opponent that uses his wit.
