Black Arrows and Red Guards - The Matrix Games version of East Front II

As Operation Bagration unfolded the Russians dictated where the battle would be fought and when it would be fought. As the smoke cleared in Solan, it became clear to the Russian high command that infantry were not going to make much progress against a crack panzer regiment sitting on the high ridge. The Russian high command also knew the Germans were streched thin. The elite 12th Guards Tank Corp was given the mission of outflanking the German defenses at Solan from the North via Drazna and force the Germans to move their precious armor away from Solan. Faced with the prospect of encirclement, KG Jahns moved North to counter the massive Russian assault. Near Dranza on a hot sunny afternoon the Black Arrows and Red Guards fought for a straight 7 hours and when it was over.. it was a draw. The following day, south of Drazna, the Solan bridgehead collapsed to a massive Russian assault and this time for good. 8. SS Panzer Divsion and KG Jahns withdrew from Drazna the following day and joined the general retreat to the west.
