Decisive Campaigns Case Blue: 1st Panzer Retreats
I returned to the "short game" for Operation Uranus today for the 1st time in over a year. I started this game in 2012 and have been playing it periodically since then.
I've done a lot of reading about the Eastern Front recently and it's opened my mind to the strategic difficulties facing the Germans and given me a deeper appreciation for the operations represented in this game.
This morning I've been focused on trying to extricate 1st Panzer Army from the southern oilfields. They are hundreds of miles away from the center of Army Group South and find themselves retreating back across a series of rivers with hordes of Russian formations nipping at their flanks.
