Gorodok near Schlusselburg, 45km E of Leningrad: [Best played against Human opponent or as Axis] On January 11, 1943, a urgent radio request came from the German 283rd Panzer Grenadier Regiment holding a portion of the line near the power station at Gorodok. The Soviet 61st Tank Brigade and elements of the 13th Rifle Division were making an attack on their lines across the frozen Neva River. With no tank support of their own, the infantry units were being split apart and their bunkers overrun. It was a job for the Mark VI Tiger tanks of the 502nd Heavy Tank Battalion, new to the Eastern Front, to respond to the call. Their mission was to act as a "Fire Brigade" and plug any gaps in the line.

A wonderful fast paced scenario that is a must play for all EF2 fans....

A real challenge for the Axis player and a lot hangs on when the reinforcements arrive.
Good Hunting,

If Allied opponent is familiar with the scenario it may not be a fair game for the Axis player.

For a better PBEM balance: more turns need to be added to this scenario (to give the Tigers more time in the game).

Good design. Scenario was intense at times and held my interest.

Strange scenario. The Russians can win if the German Tigers don't arrive as reinforcements. They have a 50% chance of arrival. If the Tigers arrive it is almost certain to be a German victory.

Great scenario....Russians need to hammer the Germans hard with the artillery and hope the Tigers arrive late.
