My first plan of attack is simple. Encircle the enemy with my panzers, clearing the way first with my infantry as far as possible. I need to get into the hex north of Voronezh as soon as possible so that I’m not stuck attacking across a river later on. I do an HQ build up to ensure my panzergrenadiers in the north have enough fuel to achieve these objectives the next turn.

I assign support levels of my HQs and have the AI do recon and bomb airfields. I assign pioneer battalions to infantry units attacking across the rivers in the south and to my panzergrenadiers who I’ll be using to take cities later on. I want to attack the objectives with my mechanized infantry. They can get to the objectivies quick enough and don’t take penalties for fighting in urban hexes like panzers.

I execute my plan and finish the turn.
