For Solo victory conditions please consult the "Kiev-43_Solo-Vic-Cond.pdf" document
Scenario Briefing: This scenario covers the advance by the Russian 60th Army to take Korosten which they did by the close of the 17th. The Allied player will be rewarded if they can take the city by this time. Note: The Air Power for both sides saw limited use during the mid to late days of November. Only by the 22nd did the weather improve enough to fly a large amount of sorties. Thus the airpower for both sides from the 15th through the 21st is limited. Neither side was able to fly sorties on the 24th and 25th.

slow infantry slog
The weather conditions make this one a slow slog, provided the Russian player falls back. The VP are balanced such that the German player will have trouble reaching them despite dominating the field.
Not sure about it being properly tested, you can do absolutely nothing as the Soviet player if the German player does not make any major mistake...you have no chance reaching any of the objectives on time due to the poor weather and the enemy..
There was some negative feedback on this scenario. However, there are a few nuances that make this scenario more enjoyable and exciting than first thought. The German player must play an excellent defense -strategically withdraw and keep his units from being surrounded. However, the German player must also guard against any Russian armor units advancing through the defense lines. If the Russian player can get armor and other mobile units through the enemy lines, it may prove decisive. Excellent German defense tactics coupled with a Russian player who knows how to concentrate his armor and effectively utilize morale D infantry units can make for an interesting game!
