The Germans never really got going. Due to the relatively small order of battle compared to the Soviets, exiting units wasn’t a goal.The Soviets held Verhopenie on map 40, and it took a while to secure that town, while trying to get. A good grip on the ridge on map 41. The Soviet arty was effective while the germans we’re multitasking, causing a good deal of disruption. The Soviet arty continued to cause problems as both sides got air, which caused some damage on both sides. The Germans never got the edge, and did not gain a single objective.
