1115_05: The Main Event - Operation Typhoon - PzC 14 Moscow '41

Moscow area, Nov 15th 1941: The main event, or the most serious of all the drives for Moscow was delivered by PzAOK.3 and PzAOK.4 amassed directly in front of Moscow. It was these panzer forces that continued to claw their way forward to the very outskirts of the Soviet capital. The operation was doomed to failure for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which was the weather. However as you will see in this scenario, large amounts of fresh Russian troops were still within the path of the German Army driving for the Kremlin. This scenario is a shortened campaign in this central sector with an end date of 27 November. This date was chosen because the attacking German is heavily outnumbered anyway and after this date the Soviets continue getting more reinforcements leading eventually to the historical outcome where the attacking initiative is lost to the Soviet counter offensive.
