[Guderian]

Scenario description for "A Decision to be Made":
125km W of Smolensk: On July 7th Guderian was faced with a decision. Should he continue his rapid advance and cross the Dnepr with his panzer forces only, or should he break off the advance and wait for the infantry to arrive before launching the battle. The Soviets were just starting to set up a defensive line and were weak. By waiting for the infantry to arrive he risked attacking a well organized defensive position. But, if he attacked now there could be danger to the open flanks of his panzer corps. Since it would take at least 10 days before the first infantry units would arrive Guderian choose to risk a crossing now. This is a medium sized scenario that covers the opening of the battle in the area from Orsha south to Mogilev. (12,800 sq km - 40 Turns, Explicit Supply)

SM = 3

Scenario description for Storming the Land Bridge:
140km NW of Smolensk: On the morning of 8th July, Hoth already had advance elements of the 20th Panzer division across the Dvina River. He was ready to advance on Vitebsk, which would unhinge Timoshenko's defensive line. Two more panzer divisons, the 7th and 12th, were to break through in the "land bridge" area between Vitebsk and Orsha. If these attacks succeeded then the panzers would be free to advance on Smolensk in conjunction with Guderian's Panzergruppe 2. What was needed now, was steel nerves and a quick strike to force the Soviet defenses. This is a medium sized scenario that covers the opening of the battle in the area from Vitebsk south to Orsha. (14,900 sq km - 40 Turns, Explicit Supply)

SM = 3

The separate scenarios cover Panzergruppe 2 and 3's attacks towards Smolensk in the northern and southern sectors (Panzergruppe 3 in the north [Vitebsk] and Panzergruppe 2 in the south [Osrha/Mogilev]). I have not played either scenario before, but as they involve panzergruppes and possibly supporting army groups, I imagine it's at least 3-6 divisions on the German side. Drive to the Dnepr covers the Mogilev sector of Panzergruppe 2's drive in the south. That scenario has two divisions and a regiment for the Germans.
