Kruglovka, 16km NW of Yelnia: [Best Played versus Human Opponent]: On August 18th 263. Infantry Division relieved the Grossdeutschland Regiment that was holding the northern sector of the Yelnia salient. To greet them was elements of the 91st Rifle Division as they attacked continuously and frantically along the frontline. The II Battalion, 463rd Infantry Regiment alone suffered 37 attacks in 10 days. This, in the early hours of the 19th of August, is one of those. The II Battalion, waiting in their trenches could hear the screams of "Urra, Urra!" as the Russians swooped down on them. Artillery battering the positions, Maxim machine guns plastering the trenches, the sound of the "crash-boom" 7.62cm guns firing at close range was all unnerving. The 263. Infantry Division was to experience the hell of what nine other divisions passed through at Yelnia. [2.04 UPDATE]
