Yelnya, 90 km SW of Vyazma, Oct 1st 1941: After the attacks of Guderian's 2nd Panzer Army in the Briansk Front sector on September 29th, STAVKA believed that the rest of Army Group Center would also be going on the offensive. To disrupt this plan, Stalin ordered a limited counteroffensive to tie down additional German troops and prevent the offensive. The Western Front Commander Konev thought the best place to attack was the stretched German line on the southern flank of AG Center. There were already strong Soviet tank forces in this area, so this would be the place where the German invaders would be made to bleed. [Size, medium] Designer's Note: This is a "What-If" scenario. In this variant, the Germans respond to the attack depicted in scenario #1001_1 by sending two Infantry Divisions to start a counteroffensive towards Yelnya.
