Minsk, June 23rd 1944: In the historical Bagration operation the Germans had been duped into believing that no major offensive would occur in the AGC area. This was mainly due to a very effective Soviet disinformation campaign which built upon the German feeling that the terrain in the area was easily defensible. This scenario assumes that the Germans considered a major offensive in Byelorussia a distinct possibility (but not a certainty). The German OOB has been augmented and the wait for reinforcements shortened. Fixing of units in the Vitebsk area has also been removed. 5th panzer and SS Totenkopf have several optional placements and SS Wiking may be pulled from rebuilding to participate. In addition, SS Nordland may optionally arrive as a reinforcement for AGN. All Soviet mobile forces (corps sized and above) have optional placements to add some fog of war.

This scenario was built upon the work of Saunders & Blackie for the original stock campaign and Ed Williams' ALT scenarios and artwork -- kudos to them! Designer Note: This scenario has been optimized for HTH play. See design notes for more discussion.

I like this scenario but have a question. There is an HQ unit that comes on with one of the SS divisions, Viking I think. It is labeled 'for attachment' yet it does not appear in the attachment screen. Any idea what the purpose of the HQ unit is?

James,
I don't have Minsk to be able to answer this question and i doubt if Dave will check this thread anytime soon, if you really want an answer i suggest you PM Dave (SgtFury) and ask him direct. :)

Thanks.
