Trial of Strength - Turns 16 to 18 - December 1942

Yesterday Richard and I finished the December turn  which saw a bit of excitement with Soviet attack disrupting the siege of Stalingrad.

 Stalingrad has been surrounded,

but a Soviet attack to the west has cut the supply line to much of the besieging Axis forces.

 In the subsequent fighting the Soviets were able to briefly open a resupply path to Stalingrad.

The last turn of the year was quiet as both sides repair lines and build up for the new year.
