Eek… With the pull back by the Soviets the German Armor races forward where it can. We leave weaker units adjacent where possible to add the plus 2 to exit a ZOC also. I have over used this neat little trick as he is cleaning my clock with MASSIVE losses in the dead pile.

The advance during eight was not as fast as I thought he could have done. Instead he used some time to clean up my stragglers and form up to take on the outer ring of Rostov and look for ideal attacks in the open center.

Turn 9 Late July the German armour powers along. He moves more forces South and reinforces the effort. His forces from Stalino connect wit the main thrust. In the South Shakty will likely fall in a turn or two.
