The Tula Operation - Dec 6th, 1941 - Zhukov's Left Flank.
By December 6th, 1941 Guderian's 2nd Panzergruppe had reached the outskirts of Kashira. It would go no further. The final attempt to isolate Tula had failed with the exhausted troops unable to continue. Guderian unilaterally decided to pull back his extended spearheads just as Zhukov launched Western Front's counteroffensive. Golikov's newly introduced 10th Army was tasked to attack west and trap the eliminate the German forces north of Tula.
(Size, Large)
This scenario finds the German forces spread thinly over a huge area. The German players challenge is to slow the Soviet advance and hold as many victory locations while losing as few men as possible. The Soviet's must take advantage of the new 10th Army to push the Axis forces back as quickly as possible.
They are stretched out and highly
outnumbered.
Objective VP's make retreat impossible.
Stay firm and lose or retreat and lose.
