Turn 17 OoB: [image]https://i.imgur.com/d9OUE4z.png[/image] Air Losses: [image]https://i.imgur.com/SyEycOR.png[/image] In the Donbass the Germans have completed another encirclement from 1st Panzer Group's bridgehead. [image]https://i.imgur.com/asCpa73.png[/image] Overall situation map at the beginning of the turn: [image]https://i.imgur.com/832FWMn.jpg[/image] AGN hits the Leningrad outskirts again, but also continues to make the push eastward to isolate the city from overland supply. Closer to Novgorod Northwest Front, which has been commanded by Zhukov for several weeks, makes another successful counter attack. [image]https://i.imgur.com/zDkq3zD.jpg[/image] At the Gomel salient the Germans have muscled some breathing space and restored LOC to their isolated units. [image]https://i.imgur.com/XaQt0on.png[/image] Air recon uncovers the weakness of the salient can be found at the Gomel bridgehead. Cavalry storm forward and scatter a German corps HQ back across the river. [image]https://i.imgur.com/SxpgJnZ.png[/image] General Malinovsky's 50th Army (Bryansk Front) is bolstered with a 104th Tank Div and overpowers the 167th Infantry Div, severing the Gomel salient. [image]https://i.imgur.com/EWtn91X.png[/image] STAVKA orders cavalry reserve into the breech and establish once again the Gomel Pocket. [image]https://i.imgur.com/hZcS6Ju.png[/image] General Kuznetsov's 3rd Army (Western Front) leads the assault against the Infantry Div holding the tail of the Gomel Pocket in the swamps. This is a critical position to gain if we're to hold his pocket in the rains and liquidate 2nd Panzer Group. [image]https://i.imgur.com/rl9944B.png[/image] Cavalry move into the swamps to provide a solid cordon isolating 2nd Panzer Group in the Gomel Pocket. On the Dnepr a cavalry and tank division help fill the line. [image]https://i.imgur.com/4T7PGaE.png[/image] Again Gen. Kuznetsov's 3rd Army (Western Front) leads elements of 10th Army and STAVKA reserves in attacking the 3rd Panzer Div 'thorn' on the line. [image]https://i.imgur.com/zv6kB4h.png[/image] 19th Army, acting as STAVKA's local reserve blocking the further eastern advance of the Gomel salient, leads an attack on another 'thorn', this one possessed by 18th Panzer Div. General Konev, a decorated commander from the recent efforts defending Kiev, overwhelms the German defenders and further collapse the Gomel Pocket. [image]https://i.imgur.com/ERFU9Q2.png[/image] Additional reserves fill in and squeeze the walls of the Gomel Pocket. In the bag: 24th Pzr Korps 4th Pzr Div 34th Inf Div 3rd Pzr Div 18th Pzr Div 29th Mot Div 267th Inf Div LAH SS Mot Div 17th Pzr Div 31st Inf Div [image]https://i.imgur.com/wQuMqtn.png[/image] Farther south AGS has solidified their bridgehead over the Dnepr and formed the Poltava Pocket. [image]https://i.imgur.com/mq4Ba2s.png[/image] With the success at Gomel STAVKA doesn't feel the need to pull anymore reserves south of Kursk and orders a full scale counter attack to rescue the units trapped on the banks of the Dnepr. General Dmitry Onuprienko's 33rd Army (STAVKA) leads elements of 49th Army (Caucasus Front) against the Das Reich SS Motorized Division. The propaganda component of this contest isn't lost on the General, and he rallies his troops sufficiently to break the pocket. [image]https://i.imgur.com/Mceg0hB.png[/image] 32nd Army (Southern Front) organizes a counter attack against a new German bridgehead of the Dnepr. They're able to send the Germans back to the western banks.
