NOTES: Both the Russian and German commanders had offboard artillery available, subject to the game rules, including; sustained radio contact and forward observer visual contact.

Both the Russian and German commanders had air support missions available subject to the game rules. Unfortunately not one air mission was flown due to the combination of bad weather and the lack of availability (this translates into bad dice rolls).
