40 km NE of Smolensk, Oct 2nd 1941: The whole of Army Group Center is going to attack the new Russian defense line along the Vop river. The Plan: Encircle the Russian forces at Bryansk and Vyazma, then destroy them. If successful, proceed and take Moscow before "General Winter" arrives. This scenario covers the initial phase of "Operation Typhoon" in the northern and central sectors of Army Group Center, around the city of Vyazma from Oct 2nd until Oct 12th. [Size, large] Designer Note: There are German reinforcements arriving on the southern edge of the Map with PROTECTED entry hexes, starting on the Oct 4th. Therefore hexes on the southern edge of the map should be avoided by the Russian Player.

This scenario needs some simple fixes as the Russian side is simply overwhelmed; that's why the game has been out for 15 years and nobody plays it. Russian supply is so low c.30 that Russian units are almost always out of ammo and artillery can seldom shoot. Up Russian supply to 75 and give them a fighting chance.
There doesn't seem to be much sense in scheduling at night, low morale, high fatigue Russian reinforcements on the south edge of the map where they are easily over-run. The Germans are all A & B rated and will win anyway but at least give the Reds some chance.
