Designer Notes: This scenario describes the German counterattack on the Mius front after the arrival of the II.SS PanzerKorps, it is possible to play this scenario in HTH mode, but it has a notable difficulty for the German player.
Scenario Briefing: The situation in the 6.Armee area was deteriorating so quickly that Heeresgruppe Sud decided to send the II.SS PanzerKorps to the Mius Front area. This Corps, which had just fought in Operation Zitadelle, did not arrive in full force, as Hitler ordered the Leibstandarte SS Division to be sent to Italy to confront the Allied landings. Before leaving for the Italian peninsula, it left its armored cars and tanks to the Totenkopf SS Division and the Das Reich SS Division, thus increasing its armored means. To replace the Leibstandarte SS Division, the 3.Panzer Division was added to the II.SS PanzerKorps. On July 27, 1943, the SS armored corps arrived in the Mius area and began to deploy in its assembly areas. The commander of the 6. Armee, Hollidt, planned a counterattack against the Soviet bridgehead on the west bank of the Mius River, this counterattack would add his existing armored corps, the XXIV. PanzerKorps with the 16.PanzerGrenadier Division and the 23.Panzer Division, with the newly arrived II.SS PanzerKorps in order to drive the Soviets behind the Mius River and recapture the fortified line of the Mius Front, the counterattack was unleashed on 30 July 1943.

9 for the German, 2 for the Russian. DR and TOT are runaway Steamrollers just like Kursk '43, they seem a bit overpowered here. I understand that LSSAH gave them their equipment as they headed for sunny Italy, but Ivan has no chance against this onslaught.
