Date: July 25th, 1943 - Size: Small - Location: East of Orel
Intended for play as Axis or Russian vs. AI or HTH
Designer Notes: This scenario covers 12.Panzer Divisions defense of Orel.
Scenario Briefing: After the fall of Bolkhov, it was obvious that Soviet efforts would focus on the liberation of the city of Orel. The town was an important logistics center and communications hub that fed and redirected the German effort to hold onto the Orel salient. By mid-July, the situation was rapidly deteriorating after the fall of Bolkhov for the retreating German forces. General Model ordered the defense of the city, which had been heavily fortified. The objective was to gain time to allow his forces to withdraw and to consolidate the defenses further east. For this, he transferred the 12th Panzer Division from the northern sector of the salient, to protect the approaches to the east of the city, the most threatened, with the order to contain the Soviet troops advancing towards it.
Recommended Rules: (Default)
Alternative Assault Resolution, Artillery Set Up, Recon Spotitng, Virtual Supply Trucks, Low Visibility Air Effects, Quality Fatigue Modifier, Counterbattery Fire, Night Fatigue, Programmed Weather, Limited Air Recon.
