A Railway Too Far - Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

Background: In the late summer 1943 the Soviet Red Army launched an offensive operation in order to capture the city of Smolensk and to encircle German troops in the region. The initial assault against the German 4th Army's sector just some 50 km northeast of the city of Smolensk was commenced by the Soviet 39th Army. The pressure of the attack in German 27th Corps' sector overwhelmed the 256th and 197th infantry division's defenses and the breakthrough was achieved soon. The gap in the front line was quickly exploited by the Soviets and the drive to SSW began. Now the lead elements of the attack are already within a grasp of the routes leading west from Smolensk. Will the Smolensk be encircled or is it a railway too far? Fictional. Made for 2 players. Scenario points: German ~5000 and Soviets ~10000
