Bolshoy, Nov 19th 1942: The "Blow at Bolshoy" followed the first strike at Kletskaya,(see scenario #1119_13), by half an hour. Here the 5th Tank Army shattered the defenses of the Rumanian II Corps As they were at Kletskaya, the Romanian Infantry were ill-equipped to face the challenge, and by midday, the 9th and 14th Rumanian Infantry Divisions were disintegrating and streaming back in panic. The Soviets thrusts followed right on there heels, as they streamed south and southwest to the Chir River, but more importantly, to the southeast for the big prize - the Bridge at Kalach on the Don River. [Size, small] Designer Note: This scenario is intended to depict the first day's fighting as the hole was opened on the flank. Players who wish to explore the effect of the arrival of the 22.Pz Division are referred to scenario 1119_12 that covers a slightly larger area for two days of fighting.
