From HQ 12th Panzer Division
Major @Odin -- bad news. We would have liked to give your troops a bit more time to rest and replenish, but the Russians have broken clean through the neighbouring 491st Grenadier Regiment and are again threatening to outflank us and cut off the retreating forces from Minsk.
Russian tanks and infantry are advancing rapidly towards the area of Postawie Crossroads -- it is imperative you stop them there and give their advancing spearheads a bloody nose or at least slow them down in order to buy us time to redeploy more reserves and Korps artillery assets to stop this advance.
Detailed intelligence on enemy strength is unavailable - looks like at least elements of a Tank Regiment, T-34/85's have been reported.
Flexible defense is called for here -- if the enemy force is too strong, punch them hard and then withdraw if necessary at your own discretion.
