Tula, November 19th 1941: Guderian ordered XXIVth Panzer Korps to take Tula from both east and west. 17th Panzer Division was to advance ahead of the main attack to Kashira. The purpose of this move was to capture the Oka river bridges, thus preventing the arrival on the battlefield of any reinforcements sent south from Moscow. [Size, medium] Designer Note: This is a "What If" scenario based on the historical attack, but has been shortened, and some units added or moved. The actual attack started on November 18th and continued until November 30th. This scenario uses a custom Parameter or PDT file for automatically blowing bridges as the Axis player advances. Manual bridge destruction is therefore not possible.

Germans have a loooong way to go in the snow and cold and then a storm. This playing seemed way out of balance in favor of the Russians.
Hard to say if the German objectives were really achievable - in the end once the cavalry rushed to help and reinforce south, it was already unnecessary.
