Designer Notes: This scenario explores the possibility that the 23.Panzer Division will not be sent to the Mius River to reinforce the 6.Armee.
Scenario Briefing: On July 17, 1943, the troops of the Southwest Front of General Malinovsky began an offensive operation near Izyum. According to the plan, both General Kuznetsov's 1st Guards Army and General Chuikov's 8th Guards Army would launch an attack across the Severnyy Donets, with the aim of creating and strengthening a bridgehead on the west bank of the river and then advancing over the rear of part of the 1.Panzerarmee and German 6.armee, the latter on the Mius River. The Germans, aware of the Soviet movements, concentrated the only armoured units in the area, the XXIV.Panzerkorps, behind the units defending the Severnyy Donets. These troops had had months to fortify the river. The XXIV.Panzerkorps counterattacks were one of the most violent operations of the war, with a high rate of casualties on both sides.
