As the power of the tanks winds down in summer of 1942, I need to set goals. First, I want to lose 10 lbs by December. Second, I want to rest up the weary infantry, tanks, and bicycle troops for winter offensives. Thirsd, I would like some sort of semblance of lines for the armies.
With that in mind, totally off the cuff and making this up as I go along, I have drawn these lines as the end point for the southern advance in clear weather of 1942.
The Yellow Line is to be the defensive line, somewhat following the Don-Volga. The Tanks in one last great attempt at encirclement will surround and isolate Stalingrad. The infantry will slog up and take up the lines. From north to south: 2nd Army (already on the Don but spread out), the 6th, the 17th, and the 11th (by winter no longer an army as the 11th goes away).
The tanks can pull back to the rails to rest for the winter offensives. The rivers will secure the lines until freeze, and then they will not be in the way as the tanks head for Baku in winter of 1942-43.
Here is the spiffy map.
(note - none of this may have anything to do with reality. I just like making maps and showing off what is brewing in my febrile mind)
