Several attacks result in kills of expensive Axis units and the wholesale slaughter of weaker Romanians.

Turn 5

Fog

Air : A1 /S5

Lack of air is hurting the Axis. The Soviets advance to the Chir and isolate pockets. In the NW 4/5 Corp Rum are isolated in remnants.  They garner forces around Kalach. In the South they probe for weaknesses.

The Axis make a few weak attacks and pound the forces across the Volga in an effort to keep them either DG’d or unable to DG the Germans holding the two crossings.

They kill 3 steps in 57.20 ( i know… you dont where that is but its in my NOTES!!! 😉 -south of the Stalingrad area.).  They take an aweful loss on a attack losing 2 steps.
