Designer Notes: This scenario simulates the fight for the eastern part of the city of Orel and the control of the bridges over the Oka River.

Scenario Briefing: The commander of the 63rd Army, General Kolpakchi, in coordination with the left wing of the 3rd Army, prepared a plan to encircle the city of Orel from the south-east while pressing a frontal attack towards the city through the defenses of the 12.Panzer Division. For this attack, he had two divisions of the 3rd Army's 41st Rifle Corps and Bryansk Fronts 250th and 287th Rifle Divisions, with the 63rd Army's 397th Rifle Division as their operational reserve. General Rendulic, the German commander of XXXV.AK, needed to delay the Soviet advance with a forceful defense, in order to buy time to evacuate the city of Orel. The city was a large German logistics center that, at the time, was full of wounded awaiting transfer to the rear.
