In the North the Soviets launched an ambitious cavalry counterattack, which threatened to cut off most of Army Group North. Luckily, that worked only almost.

The Soviets are able to push 1st Panzer Division back across the river, although they take heavy casualties doing so.

In the South the small pocket from last week holds. It is decided to pocket the Soviet forces between the two mobile forces.

That is true and doctorking used them always to good effect, even though he spent most of them before the winter. The regiment guarding against this was sitting in the swamp hex, so I thought he would not have the power to move it.

For Army Group Center supply is good for the first time in 3 weeks. Alas, Moscow is now defended strongly. With the end of the Summer Campaign approaching fast and next week supposedly being mud, von Bock decides against a direct assault of Moscow. Instead Kaluga is to be secured to get to a better assault position in the winter.

in the South it is decided to cut Kharkov, which still has much industry present (15 Arm and Su-2), off from the railway. Although the units protecting the southern approaches to Kursk are to be pocketed.
