Designer Notes: This scenario covers the capture of the important towns of Khotynets and Karachev and the pursuit of the retreating German Orel group of forces.
Scenario Briefing: As the offensive towards Orel developed in late July, the Germans counterattacked north of the railway line and paved road linking Bryansk with Orel. The objective was to keep this important communication channel open, since it was the only one through which the group of forces defending Orel could withdraw. Bryansk Front had the aspiration not only to recapture the city of Orel, but also encircle the German defenders. This necessitated an attack on the cities of Khotymets and Karachev, which were halfway along the road linking Bryansk and Orel. The objective was twofold, firstly, it was to cut off the access from the west to Orel, both by road and by rail, which could lead to the retreat of the German units defending the city. The second objective was to have a suitable place to continue the advance to the west with the idea of liberating the city of Bryansk, another important German logistics center that now supported the German forces in the Orel salient. The German command, aware of the great importance of this route to the rear of Orel, intensely prepared the towns of Khotynets and Karachev with the aim of keeping this route open through which to evacuate the city of Orel. The Soviet attack would be carried out by General Bagramyan's 11th Guards Army, this unit had been reinforced with two armored corps, the 1st Tank Corps and the 25th Tank Corps. The 11th Guards Army was ordered to break through in its advance to the south with the objective of capturing Kothynets and Karachev. The Bryansk Front also added the 4th Tank Army, this mechanized army would advance through the gap that the 11th Guards Army had to create in the advance to the south. After the capture of the two population centers, the rest of the Bryansk Front, the 11th, 61st, and 3rd Armies as well as the 63rd Army of the Central Front, would join the offensive with the aim of destroying the group of German forces that defended the area around and beyond Orel.
