Kanev 922_01s scenario question...

[Dog Soldier]

There maybe a historical reason why this was included in the new version of the Kanev September 1944 battles in the stock Korsun 44 game. I nver read such a bridge existed in the Dnepr bend.

However, with the bridge there intact on the first turn, the 8th Mech Corps and the 6th Guards Tanks Corps no longer needs to push south for Kanev bridge. These two armored Corps can cross the Dnepr River quickly with dry feet across the bridge at (45,14) in two turns. The German reece force is no match for such a crossing so early in the scenario.

The only problem for the Russians will be traffic control as 8th Mech Corps and 6th Guards Tank Corps vie for the right of way to cross the Dnepr at (45,14) without the need to use the engineers with boats to establish a bridgehead to protect engineers building a bridge across the Dnepr River.

This seems to completely unbalance some fine scenarios in the K44 game which are very different than the winter battles.
