Staryy Saltov, 30km ENE of Kharkov, May 12th, 1942: The Russian Kharkov offensive in the Spring of 1942 consisted of two parts: a northern and southern thrust. This scenario depicts the northern thrust, which saw the 28th and 38th Armies attack to encircle Kharkov from the right. The attack began on May 12th with infantry divisions augmented by tank brigades hitting the thin German defenses on a ridge overlooking the town of Starry Saltov. By the end of the first day, the Russian forces would advance 10km and stretch the German defenses to the breaking point. [1000 sq Km - 6 Turns]

Very hard to get to the VP areas in the timescale - only 6 turns - and through a fortified (bunkers and mined) area to boot!
Russians need a couple of more turns to get the job done.
