#a0717_01a Götterdämmerung : Moskau (Axis Human) - PzC 21 Moscow 42

Moscow - Jul 17th, 1942 to Jul 22nd, 1942. With the Kubinka defensive line breached, 4th Panzerarmee's XXIV & XXXXVIII Panzer Korp's drove on towards the final prize - Moscow. Bloodied by over two weeks of heavy fighting, the still formidable Panzer Divisions planned to sweep away the remaining Soviet defenders. For the Soviets, the hour of reckoning was approaching. Elite paratroopers were positioned in the city and tasked to hold every building irrespective of losses. With the hated Germans so close, Comrade Stalin decided to stay and direct the defence of the Capital personally. (Size, Medium) On the end of long supply lines, the Axis player is in a position to take Moscow. With a number of mobile divisions, the Axis could choose to try and isolate the city or alternatively assault it head on. Whichever course is chosen, the infantry divisions of 2nd Armee's LV Korp will be critical for clearing the city. For the Soviets, the Moscow Defence Zone has moved a range of troops in to hold the city at all costs including 4th Airborne Corp and the 119th Heavy Tank Brigade. The Soviets are both fresh and well supplied and this combined with patriotic zeal may be just enough to hold the capital.
