Date: July 12th, 1943 - Size Campaign - Location: Orel salient
Intended for play as Russian vs. AI or HTH
Designer Notes: This scenario covers a shorter version of the first phase of Operation Kutuzov between July 12th - 25th, 1943, and does not include the fight for the city of Orel.
Scenario Briefing: Operation Kutuzov was one of the planned counterattacks following Operation Zitadelle. STAVKA knew that the German attack would occur on the flanks of the Kursk salient, so the plan was simple: to attrite the attacking AOK.9, especially its armoured units, and to follow this with a concentric attack on the Orel salient.
Three Soviet fronts would participate: the Western Front under Sokolovski's command, the Bryansk Front under Popov's command, and Rokossovsky's Central Front. The objective was elimination of the Model's AOK.9 and PzAOK.2.
Model, anticipating a Soviet counterattack, did not to commit the full potential of his AOK.9 to the Zitadelle operation, holding reinforcements to the north of his main effort.
The Central Front had suffered heavy losses and their counterattack to the south of Orel was delayed until 15 July, giving Model time to confront the Soviet advances north and east of Orel.
Recommended Rules: (Default) Alternative Assault Resolution, Artillery Set Up, Recon Spotting, Virtual Supply Trucks, Low Visibility Air Effects, Quality Fatigue Modifier, Counterbattery Fire, Night Fatigue, Programmed Weather, Limited Air Recon.
