** Grossman's Holiday
21 August, 1943
Gotha, NE of Kharkov: [Version-2.0][H2H][HISB) [EA][N VV] Immediately
after Kursk the Soviets attacked along the front to exploit the
exhaustion of their enemy and maintain the initiative. Operation
"Rumantsyev" was launched to take Belgorod and Kharkov while
enlarging the Kursk bridgehead. This would also allow their armor
to drive deep to threaten Army Group South. Von Manstein knew
he had to slap back at each enemy breakthrough, while his forces
withdrew to shortened defensive positions. Eventually the Ukraine
would have to be abandoned. But, von Manstein was going to make
it a step at a time. The Soviets advanced with thoughts of victory.
The Germans retreated in hopes of keeping their units cohesive
until they could find a place to counterattack. In this spot
two years before the Germans rushed to Gotha in hopes of gaining
a "holiday". There they met T-34's instead and fought to just
have a few few hours rest. Today there may be no rest for the
weary of either side. No holiday again for Oberst Grossman.

** Pferd und Schmetterling
15 August, 1943
"Horse and Butterfly" Petrishcheva, 35km N of Smolensk: [Version
2.0][H2H](Hypo-HISB) [EA or not][N VV]As Kursk proved a grinding
yard that reduced the power of the Germans to command the field.
The Soviets became empowered and began to launch attacks along
the front. Scraping together reserve units Zhukov put together
strange combinations to just drive deep into the German lines
as he prepared the coming onslaught from his careful calculations.
This is one such battle. A Soviet task force has driven deep
behind German lines to set up hasty blocks to slow a German retreat.
The Germans rushed units forward and tried to form "fists" that
could punch through these Soviet blockades. The Soviets must
hold. The Germans must breakthrough to fight another day. Russian
paratroops were often thought of as "butterflies". On this field
they will be trampled by German horses and armor. Or, they will
hold and capture the fleeing cavalrymen?

Both of these scenarios have been uploaded to the scenario dBASE. It was determined that they were too long in H2H testing without reaching final approval. Although these scenarios were close to final approval "technical issues" causing the removal were in some testers not finishing the games to a final rating.

Testers, please do not sign up to rate scenarios if you may encounter real life issues. Or, if you do, please contact the H2H custodians or scenario designer to have your names removed from testing.
Designers, please keep up with the testing process and communicate with the testers and H2H custodians.

I will soon be uploading a couple more scenarios to H2H testing and I hope that some members will sign on and see them through to completion. :smoke:
