From Don to Dnepr

Just finished reading an excellent account of the third and fourth battles of Kharkov. Glantz provides a simple and well paced account of these two battles.

A game of A Victory Lost against David "Manstein" was just completed last weekend. The Russians aka myself failed to take Kharkov even, negating the simple need for the the German Backhand Blow. The German held the river lines well as the Soviets failed repeatedly to push them backwards and form bridgeheads.


Here's a map of the area.

Now on towards reading the Battle for Leningrad and maybe try out Barbarossa: Army Group North solitaire.
