H2H, HISB. 7 July 1941, West of Orsha. Marshall Timoshenko's Western Front was ordered by STAVKA to prevent the German XXXXVII Mot Corps from advancing to the Dnpr River. Spearheading this attack were the 5 and 7 Mech Corps. Gen Alekseenko's 5 Mech Corps's objective was the town of Lipel'. On his way there, he ran into the 17 and 18 Panzer Divisions. Can you fight the 5 Mech to its objective? Or, as the Germans, stop the 5 Mech.

I really enjoyed this scenario. The map is huge, simple, and rough, just like Russia. The Reds have two tank and a motorized division against at least two panzer divisions. The time frame makes the Russians very competitive. Their plethora of tanks, and of boy do they have a long, can give the German 1941 panzers a run for their money. This is an operational battle best suited for experienced players who can handle divisions and corps.
Well-balanced, epic scenario with a multitude of options for both sides.
This is an excellent battle with a huge map and large order of battle for both sides. The Soviets have large numbers of weapons, but most of them are inferior, whereas the Germans have the better quality troops and tanks (for the most part). Game allows both sides to make various strategic decisions throughout the match. The final victory points are slightly in favor of the Axis based on our match, but regardless a very fun game. Recon very important for both sides.
After playing Germans, this is still one of my favorite scenarios. A bit more challenging as Axis. Dealing with the swarms of Russian tanks is a daunting task. The more aggressive the Russian player is, the more difficult it will be for the German player to cope.
