After penetrating some 37 miles into Soviet territory, they finally run into the Soviet 30th Tank Division at the village of Pruzana. This is part of the 4th Army's 14th Motorized Corps, struggling to form up in response to the German invasion. the battle is joined just as the sun starts to set on the first day of the war. This scenario is based on the original Panzerblitz scenario by James Johnson.
