1018_01: Final Push - PzC 14 Moscow '41

Maloyroslavets, 80 kms SW of Moscow, Oct 18th 1941: The 19th Panzer Division had rushed into Maloyroslavets on the main highway to Moscow from the south west. There they had stalled, being held up by stubborn resistance, primarily from the Russian 312th Rifle Division with a few attached units. The main part of 19th Panzer was now being employed clearing the small pockets of resistance around the town. A final push was required to keep the momentum going by clearing the highway to the north east. To perform this task, an advance guard of 19th Panzer was hastily put together, consisting of 19th Panzer Recce with a few tanks and panzer grenadiers. [Size, small]
