[i]DB, can you give me a briefing on the current situation? [/i]

The battlezone is close to the Soviet landing areas, around a factory.

[i]What units are in contact?[/i]
[i]Strength of friendly/enemy forces in AO?[/i]
Very little has been decided. Just our characters and their entourage.

[i]Rate of replenishments from Soviet side?[/i]
Faster than you can say "Mass mobilisation". We're a block or two away from their landing zones so what they get in practically arrives.

[i]What sort of Panzers are in the AO?[/i]
3 and 4.

[i]Are the Soviets pushing T-34s off the assembly line and into the fight[/i]
This is why I want this to be another factory, but this will happen as soon as a block around it is captured.

[i]If so, are they equipped properly and are the crews trained properly[/i]
Would that happen, I wouldn't say so. They've got munitions and the crew knows what to do, but they're all green.

[i]What sorts of logistics support can I expect from the Wehrmacht[/i]
Logistics are generally working as expected. Winter hasn't fallen. Yet.

[i]Is the back door cut off yet? Are we encircled?[/i]
No. We're in September, which IIRC was the low point for the Red Army's struggle for the city.

[i]If Major von Kuchen asks for Panzerfausts, will he get them?[/i]
Not many, but some.

[i]Indirect fire support?[/i]
All he needs and more.

[i]Any Pioneer units in the area for breaching and or building survivability positions?[/i]
In all likelyhood, da.
