Industrial Inferno - The Matrix Games version of East Front II

Dneprodzerzhinsk, Ukraine, a large industrial complex northwest along the Molotov canal which joins it's coalfields, foundries and factories to the Dniepr River. The Russian 602nd Rifle Regt has just fought itself to destruction capturing the ruined factories from the equally shredded I Btn, Mountain Regt 44 and formed a bridgehead over the canal. A pontoon bridge was improvised and some AT guns and mortars were brought across when under a hail of bombs from Luftwaffe stukas the bridge was destroyed and now the russians are struggling to make repairs so that the 602nd can be reinforced with heavy SU guns and infantry. Until then every Russian battery in the sector is providing fire support for the fragile bridgehead. Meanwhile the German Corps command has decided that the bridgehead must be destroyed, and for this purpose has ordered two specialist assault units to recapture the shattered factories littered with destroyed rolling stock and wrecked machinery and the detrius of the previous battle. The units assigned to the attack is a Sturmbatallion Wasinger, a unit comprising assault pioniers and infantry trained in street fighting, and Sturmpanzer Batllion Bertelsmann, an assault gun batallion equipped with the Brummbaer, Sturmpanzer IV and assorted StuG III's and nebelwerfers in support. Delayed, however, by fuel shortages and traffic jams, the assault is running late and as it begins the Russians have managed to repair one of the bridges, and the first reinforcements begin to arrive and cross over into the bridgehead. Under the screeching hail of shells and rockets, a truly hellish battle is about to commence in the outlandish landscape of the bombed-out factories...
