This is the B.B.C., and here is the 6 o’clock news.
On the Eastern Front, the massive offensive by German forces continues.
The Soviet defensive line in the north has held thus far with the Red Army’s 8th Guards, 193rd Rifle Division, and 181st Tank Brigade holding the line against initial German probing attacks by the Wehrmacht's 20th Panzergrenadier and the 11th SS Divisions.
In the south, an early capture of Sector XI by 2nd SS and 9th SS Panzer Divisions was achieved by a successful assault against the Soviet 3rd Shock Army at the city of Danzig.
An immediate Red Army counter-offensive to reclaim Sector XI and to cross the frontier into German Sectors II and III was repulsed with heavy losses. Attacks by the 8th Guards, 193rd Rifle Division, and 3rd Shock Army to cross the frontier failed to reach their objectives against a determined defense by the 11th SS Division at Rakowice and the 20th Panzergrenadier Division at Danzig. At the village of Barashka, a forward element of the 181st Tank Brigade was ambushed and completely destroyed in a well-prepared defense conducted by 2nd and 9th SS Panzer Divisions.
The German units in the north continue to threaten Sector XIII of the Soviet’s defensive line. From Sector II, a spoiling attack by the 11th SS Division into Ogledow was repulsed with heavy losses by the 181st Tank Brigade, but from Sector III the 20th PanzerGrenadier Division is attacking the Tankrider Infantry of the 181st in the Snowy Forest Tactical region and a German formation newly arrived in Sector II, the 3rd SS Division, is following up 11th SS’s attack with a continued assault on mechanized elements of 181st Tank still located at Ogledow.
In the south, the German 5th Gebirgsjager Division is attacking east from Sector XI. The Soviet 8th Guards and 193rd Rifle Division report contact near the village of Lazur in Sector XIV and battle is imminent. Further to the east, the German 2nd SS Panzer Division has moved through the Crimea and is attempting to flank the Soviet defenses. A hastily assembled mobile task force of the 181st Tank Brigade has arrived in Sector XXI and reports the Germans are advancing on Rakowice.
The Soviet 3rd Shock Army is in a reserve position in Sector XII to block enemy penetrations of the front. The German 9th SS Panzer, in Sector VII in a mobile reserve role to respond to an expected Red Army counter-attack, has been joined by a newly arrived Axis unit, the 369th Croatian Infantry. The 11th SS Division is reportedly moving west into Germany in response to a recall order to refit and reconstitute for operations on the Western Front.

"This is the B.B.C., and here is the 6 o’clock news...."
On the Eastern Front, the 2nd SS Panzer's expected attack from Sector XI into Rakowice in Sector XXI failed to materialize. It was determined to be a deception plan supporting an attack that was carried out in the north by 3rd SS Panzer Division. This fresh Axis unit was committed to a renewed assault on Ogledow, defended by Tank elements of the Soviet 181st Tank Brigade, and in a highly skilled assault Sector XII was captured by the Axis forces.
Sector XIII, however, remained firmly in Soviet hands as the Tankrider Infantry and Recon Scouts of 181st Tank turned back a determined attack at Snowy Forest by 20th Panzergrenadier Division. 8th Guards / 193rd Rifle's successful defense of Lazur against the attacking 5th Gebirgsjager Division kept Sector XIV secure as well.
The Soviet High Command, alarmed at having lost a second sector, have immediately committed 181st Tank Brigade to an all out two-pronged assault from Sector XIII. One task force is reported to be driving in a counter-attack on Sector XII against 20th Panzergrenadier forces at the village of Arad. The remainder of 181st Tank is pushing west to cross the frontier and capture Sector III from 5th SS Panzer Division who are digging in at Bondarevo.
The Soviet 3rd Shock Army have moved to Sector XXI and are preparing to attack 5th Gebirgsjager Division who are holding the city of Budapest. Should Budapest fall, the key Sector XI will return to Red Army control.
The 8th Guards/193rd Rifle Division remain in reserve, but are expected to join the all out attack in the north, repositioning to Sector XIII and crossing the frontier into Axis Sector II. The Germans are preparing to contain these Soviet assaults as their powerful 2nd and 9th SS Panzer Divisions have been withdrawn to reserve. The victorious 3rd SS Panzer Division has also been pulled back into reserve with the 369th Croatian Infantry to re-fit and re-constitute after their capture of Ogledow.
The Axis command has been joined by a newly arrived German unit, the 1st SS Panzer Division's Panzergrenadier Regiment.

yes but we're losing again Good to see that history is repeating itself in terms of the numbers of units on each side............. More Russian needed please
Of course the hastily cobbled together force of 8GA and 193rd are standing strong against the fascist hordes, must be something to do with our superior tactics and lengthy preparation

Updated 1/24 to show 3rd Shock Army's challenge to attack Budapest in Sector XI accepted by 5th Gebirgsjager Division.
8th Guards / 193rd Rifle's attack challenge remains pending. Hopefully we'll see them joining 181st Tank's offensive from Lucky Sector XIII and assault Sector II.
There are several German units still itching for a fight, we'll get to all of you.
GO RED HORDE! Now's the time to turn this thing around in this Soviet attack phase.
ON TO BERLIN!
