Intended for play as Axis vs. AI
Designer Notes: This scenario simulates the German offensive on the northern front of the Kursk salient during Operation Zitadelle. It is included because the subsequent Soviet counterattack on the Orel salient is the chapter following the attack of the AOK.9. (Note that the Germans Gruppe Esebeck is attached to its historically assigned corps. The players are welcome to change this, using the Corps Attachment command.)
Scenario Briefing: Operation Zitadelle was planned as a pincer attack from the north and south base of the Kursk salient, the objective being to eliminate the Soviet units there. The Soviet high command had already identified the Kursk salient as the upcoming German summer offensive. As the Germans were slow to begin their campaign, the Soviet high command had the time it needed to fortify the salient.
The attack on the northern front of the Orel salient, was assigned to Model's AOK.9. The plan was to advance through the dense Soviet defenses and to link up with the German units advancing from the south. The Soviets anticipating this, had prepared a defensive line with the objective of weakening AOK.9, with the intention of later launching a counteroffensive in conjunction with those executed to the north and east of Orel.
Recommended Rules: (Default)
Alternative Assault Resolution, Artillery Set Up, Recon Spotting, Virtual Supply Trucks, Low Visibility Air Effects, Quality Fatigue Modifier, Counterbattery Fire, Night Fatigue, Programmed Weather, Limited Air Recon.
