One good 50mp tank corp and the whole thing could get cut.

Extended salients are a Germans nightmare during the winter. Hold them at your own pearl.

Status: offline 		Since 9th Gds Cav cannot establish a further ZOC to the north, and any retreating unit from a northern attack will retain it's ZOC, it seems highly unlikely you can close this. The only possibility I see is displace the 6=9 divisions without use of the guards cav division with movement 18. If that division could move into that hex with a win plus one more hex south, you could close the pocket then. With blizzard over next turn, it pains me to say your best bet is not to press your luck, unless you consider a guards cav corps dispensable.

Interesting you prefer the view without shading enemy hexagons?

Too bad it wasn't possible to achieve the same result at Moscow two turns earliers...

Status: offline 		So the answer to 'what should you do' is.

you divide up the Cav Corp and separate to cause German retreats to open lane to hopefully close the pocket.
Some air units routed, maybe an hq

AND THEN the northern pincer weekly offensive begins
