Date: July 15th, 1943 - Size: Medium - Location: South of Orel salient
Intended for play as either side vs. AI or HTH
Designer Notes: This scenario is Rokossovsky’s Central Front counteroffensive.
Scenario Briefing: After the start of Operation Kutuzov to the north and east of Orel, Zitadelle’s operations were paralysed. Model had already prevented a complete Soviet breakthrough and began sending reinforcements to the north. He ordered the AOK.9 divisions to stay on the defensive and retreat to their former positions before Zitadelle. Rokossovsky designed a battle of attrition, with the idea of weakening the spearheads of the AOK.9 during Zitadelle. After the start of Operation Kutuzov, Central Front launched its counterattack against the AOK.9 forming the southern wing of Kutuzov. Central Front could not begin its attack on July 12 due to its heavy losses during Zitadelle, and had to allow its exhausted troops rest and replenish its armoured units. This three day pause allowed Model, now commander of AOK.9 and PzAOK.2, to send the necessary reinforcements north to face the threat of the attacking Bryansk and Western Fronts.
Recommended Rules: (Default)
