Dry again….


The Axis take on 12 ASP, but can only accept 10.


Germans gather formations, and press forward heedless of supply. As they approach Slutsk below, they deploy for combat!


The Axis in the North cover the threat from Molodechno. 12 Pzr presses up , and 7th & 20th Pzr attack units in and around Minsk. They conduct a 4:1 attack which results in a 2/1 result!!! Ouch!

In the Center/East 4th Panzer crosses the Neman River and enters Stolbtsy be forcing the retreat of the 27th tank. 900 Leah move towards Gorodeva a battle rages around the defensive line of couple. With 3rd Panzer reinforcing and the batted 17th cent a West the Germans conduct a number of clean up attacks which end up being expensive and inconclusive .

In the center West and to the South German forces attack across the Shara R. 90 Leah 3rd Pzr clear the river line.

In the motorized phase not much was achieved. Instead forces consolidated around Minks in order to prevent being cut off,any further.

For the Soviets we realize the importance of certain towns they begin to reinforce Minsk further and the surrounding areas,in fact the Germans on now close to being surrounded and may well have a hard time finding their way either into or out of the areas around Minsk the 10th army HQ and forces surrender and other divisional scale units infantry and care of also surrender
