Smolensk 1941
10 July 1941 to 17 September 1941.

Historical Overview:
The Campaign for Smolensk was the first time in 1941 that the Soviets tried to implement a determined coordinated counterattack against a large part of the front. The target was Army Group Centre. By early August, Hitler was looking to divert elements of Army Group Centre to the south to pocket Soviet forces in the vicinity of Kiev.

Scenario Overview:
The Axis player must move fast and strike hard to capture his objectives early. The Soviet player must maximize the use of his start forces and the terrain to slow down and absorb the initial German attacks; then counterattack relentlessly.
