While thinking about best use of the Brandenberg unit and then using them to disrupt Soviet supply, one possibility is to try to take out 83,32 and 81,52 by ground assault (you won't need Brandenberg units for this)- that means southern units will have to trace all the way to the map edge by road. Take either of these and Soviet Supply in the respective area halves- from 34 to 17.
You then just (!) need to disrupt supply getting to the Stalingrad front from 60,0 and all units near or south of Stalingrad will have supplies drastically reduced. The Brandenberg unit could come in handy here- one of the bridges would do. That'd be 76,16 or 68,5 though these would probably be 'Ascension Day' missions. This also assumes they aren't garrisoned and engineers aren't available nearby to rebuild. I may do this once with one battalion (i.e. a third) of the unit- hopefully he'll then be forced to garrison sensitive positions while I keep the remainder of the unit as a threat.
On the Northern and Central Fronts there are just too many Soviet Supply Points close to the front lines to make trying anything in these areas worthwhile.
