Near Monastyrschina, 51km S of Smolensk: Guderian's 2nd Panzer Gruppe had crossed the Dnepr with comparative ease. His plan was to first cut off the city completely and then encircle it. 10th Panzer Division had encountered little resistance as it moved to cut all communications from the southwest. As dawn broke on the 14th of July, a KampfGruppe was pushing east to cut the highway when it encountered an Independent Tank Regiment on its way to join in a counterattack on 10th Pz. This is a small hypothetical scenario designed to assist players to understand the dynamics of a mobile battle with many options. [800 sq Km - 10 Turns]
