Russian Turn One
Dawn, 06:00 22 January 1942 Visibility 1km - Frozen Conditions
Frozen conditions will be the norm for this entire scenario.
Russian units begin redeploying from strung out positions to a more concentrated area for each of the 322nd and 323rd rifle divisions. I do not want these organizations divided and destroyed piecemeal by the Germans. Every Russian unit still in the game on day two will tie up a greater sized German formation. The idea is to threaten enough with a force in being to keep the Germans from concentrating on day two against my cavalry.
I am lucky near Sukhinichi. A German panzer unit stayed in contact to sniff out my initial positions. An assault is ordered. The tanks are destroyed and a German column of Pzgr in trucks is found. My artillery opens up on the hapless grenadiers to welcome them.
