DB, can you give me a briefing on the current situation? 
What units are in contact?
Strength of friendly/enemy forces in Area of Operations (AO)?
Rate of replenishments from Soviet side?
I see we are fighting the Red October tractor works.
What sort of Panzers are in the AO?
Are the Soviets pushing T-34s off the assembly line and right into the fight?
If so, are they equipped properly and are the crews trained properly?
What sort of logistics support can I expect from the Wehrmacht?
Is the back door cut off yet? Are we encircled?
If Major von Kuchen asks for Panzerfausts, will he get them?
Indirect fire support?
Any Pioneer units in the area for breaching and or building survivability positions?
