Designer Notes: This scenario covers the attack of the 3rd and 63rd Armies of the Bryansk Front against the XXXV.AK defending the Oskol River east of Orel.

Scenario Briefing: The Bryansk Front of General Popov oversaw the attack east of the Orel salient, for which he employed the 61st, 3rd and 63rd Army. Both the 11th Guards Army of the Western Front and the 48th Army of the Central Front assisted in the broader assault. The 3rd and 63rd Army had to launch a frontal attack to breach the solid fortifications of General Rendulic’s XXXV.AK. Once they cleared the German positions sited on the Oskol River, they had to advance westward towards the city of Orel, their main target. The 63rd Army devised its attack in two echelons, with Bryansk Front’s 25th Rifle Corps in reserve, to be committed the following day. General Gorbatov in command of the 3rd Army would employ the 41st Rifle Corps for the main thrust of his army and would be supported by 1st Guards Tank Corps.
