So tell us, is there any indication that tells you the size of the units you got trapped there in a Stalingrad fashion?
In the northwest there is a Panzer division and 7 infantry divisions, all of which (especially the former, the 6th Panzer Division, which was pretty seriously mauled in street fighting in Pskov) are probably under strength to some degree. Each German infantry division seems to consist of about 15,000 men so the whole thing probably has about 100,000 troops and between 200 and 300 AFVs. In the south there are 3 German infantry divisions, 2 Romanian infantry divisions, a Romanian armoured division and 2 Romanian cavalry brigades which are pretty thoroughly trapped as well. I doubt the Axis will be able to break through to these forces. There are more units I have isolated around the map, most notably in the pocket in the southwest near Proskurov, but the Germans could rescue them pretty easily, so they're not in mortal danger at the moment.
