Overview:

The opening phases of Operation Brabarossa met with spectacular gains. As the surprised Soviet troops were unable to offer an organized resistance. After 3 weeks of fighting, the Germans had reached the Dvina, and then the Dneiper. The Soviet 19th Army was transferred by rail but arrived in Vitebsk just as the Soviet resistance was collapsing under German attacks. In a bold stroke, the Germans pressed forward and made for Smolensk, capturing Soviet units gathered at train stations awaiting transport along the way. Only a few Soviet units were able to mount anything like an effective resistance. . .

2016-01-19(A) Michael Dorosh vs Colin Emerson Russian winPlaytest version. Tried to concentrate force on the west side of the map. Put two infantry guns into the woods and pushed south with halftracks, flame tanks and artillery. Artillery never arrived – 2 or 3 red chit draws and a problem finding Known enemy units for the Observer. Flame tanks marginally effective – Russian MGs knocked one out at point blank range and immobilized another. Did manage to knock out some MG crews. Made a final push on Turn 6-7 to get into the building but too weak in infantry.
