I decided to start with the northern pincer led by Model. It certainly is more infantry/artillery orientated. Came in with a core reinforced but not greatly enhanced (2 Tigers/3 Panthers-rest are IVH, IIIN and IIIM). I spent too much originally on upgrading all my fighters to 190's and my Stuka to 190F I think; would rather have air superiority though. Quite a challenging scenario...I managed to secure a decisive on the last turn but had a couple of headaches caused by unexpected counterattacks. After rebalancing and subsequently defeating these, I was almost to spread out to take the final location. Ended with limited prestige to boot but I have got quite use to this in DLC43. Now off to Olkhovatka...not sure if I have enough infantry for this one but we shall see.
