Armee Gruppe Sud - Race for the Don. On June 22nd 1941 the Axis forces invaded the Soviet Union. The inevitable clash of Ideologies took place on a vast scale. Three German Armee Gruppes set out to carve up Western Russia and eliminate the " Bolshevik Threat ", from the face of the Earth. The largest of the three armies was the Southern group. The cities of Kiev, Odessa, Sevastopol, and Kharkov were whithin its Operational sphere. In front of it was the large but under trained soviet army... Ver. 2.0 Tested under 106.0 -------------------- Length: 25 turns Scale : Division , Brigade -------------------- Unit colors : Soviet: Red on Red Red Air force: Green on Dk Red. Axis Ground Units : Black on Grey Luftwaffe : Red on Grey Rumanian : Green on Brown Slovak : Blue on Tan Hungarian : Red on Blue Italian : White on Blue SS :White on Grey Notes : 1) Hex 49,0 MUST stay open for Armeegruppen Guderian to arrive. They will arrive in mid August. 2) After mid September the weather will get progressively worse. 3) Watch your supply lines if you are the Axis. 4) Best played as the Axis forces. The Russians offer a good exercise in strategic retreat though. 5) The Soviets fielded 194 new " divisions " in the second half of 1941. They were little more that bridage sized cadres. They will be represented as brigades in the scenario. Play notes; 1) The German player must maneuver on the Russians to surround isolate and Eat them, by the Army. By mid September, the Russians will start to offer a concerted defence. Good Luck. 2) The Russian player must try not to lose too much ground, or units. As you get deeper into the Fall, your units will start to act as you want them to. In the first couple of months your Command and Control ability is almost non existent. When units are active, try to get them into blocking positions. They might not be active the next week. Good Luck. |
