Kussen, East Prussia, 120km E of Konigsberg: [Best played as Allied] By January 14th, the German 1st Infantry Division at Pillkallen, East of fortress Konigsberg, was methodically being annihilated by assaults of General I. J. Lyudnikov's Soviet 39th Army. In a desperate move to reinforce the defenders, German General Gerhard Matzky ordered the corps reserve, the 22nd Fusilier Regiment, into the battle. The Fusiliers, unable to reach Pillkallen and vastly outnumbered set up defenses at a key road junction at Kussen. There they faced the merciless nightmare onslaught of continual Soviet tank and infantry assaults by the Soviet 94th Motorized Rifle Brigade supported by the 3rd and 18th Guards Tank Battalions. Position after position was lost and things were looking grim for the defending Germans. As the Russian's prepared to launch their final assault, the lead companies of the 10th SS Panzer Regiment arrived on the scene.

Russians have to be aggressive and close with the Germans before the panzers arrive. There should be plenty of opportunity to get in on the flanks in force and position those 45mm anti-tank guns.
