Ok, processed all the orders -- here is how it all played out.
From North to South
1. Gruppe Mad Mike moves south to map reference P4 -- makes no enemy contact, but does hear enemt tank and vehicle movement off to the west in direction Uborok, but visibility not good enough yet for visual confirmation.
2. Gruppe Mehlsack (plus the 2nd Panther platoon) advances to rendezvous with Gr. Mad Mike but at 04:00 runs into enemy armour moving along the Kurgan road -- a ME battle in the flat, open farmland ensues. The 120mm heavy mortars at Stodanka are ready to fire in support.
3. At 03:30 a frantic call of "Panzer!!" is radioed from the HQ Group of II PzGren Btn which is watching the crossing over the Solchi stream at Zharav'ye NW of Rikonovo: "Enemy tanks and recon infantry are probing the river crossing! Request instructions and immediate artillery fire on the bridge and stream crossing!!"
4. The Pz IV Gruppe (HQ + 1st Platoon) have arrived at Rikonovo. -- (OOB has an error, they have no Wirbelwind Flakpanzers assigned)
5. Hauptmann nathangun has arrived at K( with the PzPionier Platoon.
6. The detached Pz IV platoon assigned to Gruppe Robslion has arrived at the vuillage of Stayki only to discover that the forest terrain at the river crossing is too dense for vehicles.
7. At 04:30 radio intercepts were made that confirm prsence of the 23rd Motor Rifle Brigade in the area between Novoye and Kholkoz 121. Also enemy signals mention heavy mortars and SU assault guns in position.
8. At 05:00 artillery fire falls on the positions of Gruppe Richtig which is soon under attack from both across the Bobr river and from the direction of the Russin bridgehead across from Novoye.
@Dutch Grenadier
So, there are possible battles -- please assign any available artillery support fire and we'll get the battles going as soon as I can get them set up.
