Glussk, 40 kms SW of Bobruysk, June 24th 1944: The 28th Army sector was located on the left flank of the 1st Byelorussian Army. The offensive in this sector began, by design, a day later than the northern attack on June 24th. While the 65th Army, to the right of this sector, was assigned the mission of driving for Bobruysk, the 28th Army was tasked to bypass the city. Striking northwest for Glussk, before turning west for Starrye Dorogi, Slutsk, and then Minsk itself. [Size, medium] Designer Note: This scenario has been optimized for HTH play.

Russian enjoys overwhelming numbers in armor, infantry and artillery units, and controls the tempo of the scenario. Once the Russian Pliev Cav-Mech Group Reserves release, the German will be hard pressed to slow the Russian steamroller offensive. The German better quality morale units, distance to the major objectives and difficult movement limiting terrain (marsh, swamp, forest) will help slow, but can't stop the Russian bear. The German must trade territory for time and then make a final stand east of the major objectives; Gardi, Goduny, and Kurin (150 pts each) and Molseyevka and Oktyrbrsky (200 pts each). Between equal skilled players, a Russian Minor Victory is achievable and a Major Victory is reachable dependent on how quickly the German defense lines collapse. Still, the Bobruysk Bypass is an exciting and fast paced scenario that reflects the desperate titanic East Front battles of 1944 with the Russian Army ascension and the once proud German forces in decline. A recommended Minsk '44 scenario!
