0707_05 Smolensk Campaign - Extra Forces - PzC 01 Smolensk '41

West of Smolensk along the frontier: It is July 7th, 1941. Facing the German Army Group Center was the Soviet Western Front defending along the Dnepr River. Elements of 13th Army are holding the line from Orsha to south of Mogilev. North of Orsha, the 20th Army held the river line up to Vitebsk, while the 19th Army was at Vitebsk and to the north, with the 25th Rifle Corps in reserve. Most of the Russian divisions were reserve divisions, with shortages of men and equipment, not to mention training. PanzerGruppes 2 and 3 stand poised to leap the Dnepr and seize Smolensk, and drive to the gateway to Moscow. This is a campaign game variation with extra forces added to both sides. The battle covers a period of two and a half weeks. [over 75,000 sq Km - 170 Turns]
