Designer Notes: This scenario describes the attack that led to the breakthrough of the German front by the 5th Guards Army.

Scenario Briefing: The 5th Guards Army consisted of seven infantry divisions, two independent tank regiments, an artillery division, an anti-aircraft artillery division and various supporting artillery regiments, deployed along sixteen kilometers of the front. The 5th Guards Army’s mission was to break through the German front by developing an offensive in the direction of Zolochev. The main task was to ensure that both the 1st Guards Tank Army and the 5th Guards Tank Army could advance through the gap they had created. The 5th Guards Army was organized in two echelons, the first of five infantry divisions and the second with two more as reinforcement divisions. The main attack would be carried out by the 33rd Guards Rifle Corps and the 42nd Guards Rifle Corps.

As a Russian time is your biggest enemy. Damn the minefields and take the extra losses that the engineers can save you. Taking a 100 point hex is worth a thousand men in points. You won't get a victory just by eliminating Germans.
