THE ROSAVL GAP
Kazaki, 5 August 1941
The German encirclement at Roslavl (actually consisted of three pockets) was having great difficulties. The Soviet forces in the northern part of this trap, reacted by driving Northwest towards the Moscow Highway and the Desna River Crossing. Here at Kazaki, the retreating Soviet Army found the 292.Infantry Division and it's headquarters and overwhelmed them. The 292. was over extended and engaged in heavy defensive fighting to close the encirclement that they failed. The Soviets were pouring through this widening gap -- supplies, infantry, artillery. Guderian in person ordered several units to form up into a battle group at Kazaki. A tank company, self propelled guns and artillery under General Martinek, artillery commander of 7 Corps were ordered to close this gap. But the weather has delayed their arrival.

Historical Introduction
OK
Game Length
I feel it was to Short, perhaps 25+ might have been better
Force Mix
I couldn't understand why the Axis had all those Kublewagens, they weren't armed , Seeing as the Axis were defending really not much use,
What I really liked about this scenario
Can't pass a comment really as we never got to deep into the game
What I really did not like about this scenario
Game to Short

Victory Conditions
I think so, but I believe more turns would have a made a difference
Map & Terrain
map is great. I think that the set up of the Axis is too close to a large Victory flag so not putting pressure on the Axis to make an attack on the other victory flags.
Game Length
maybe a bit too short?
Any other comments
I haven't played as the axis, so I may give that a go first ! maybe get rid of the large Flag near the Axis setup and see how that goes ..?
