Snorri Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 titel: Fridericus Fiction type: axis advance; semi-fictiv date: Mid-May 1942 location:Izjum (?Isjum->German) - corner [Doneskij] region: south weather: good terrain: wet(dries) turns: 10 battle 45+ turns (so you have the time to game a real assault, but it is quiet likely, you won`t have use it..! pc-friendly -> NO-1-GIG-NEEDED!! recommended play: axis-ai,2player-russian side is expected to be more tricky... backround: "Timoschenkow"s armies(6.&57.) head west, marching onto charkow. The bridgehead their advance`s southern part started from, earned in the winter-fighting, was planned to be attacked by the germans. This should start at the 18th of may, at the 12th, the soviet march began.. the german operation "fridericus", had two main parts. the northern wing->6th army ,and it`s southern->1.Pz(Tank),17th army. The northern part was under heavy pressure, at many places, more they could take..as they also had to stop the sovjet`s northern forces; While Timoschenkows 9th Army guarded the donez-river, the two moving to charkow, saw their supply-lines and flanks become longer and longer. At the morning of the 17thMay, fieldmarshall Bock ordered the southern wing(v.Kleist), to attack north. thereby they followed close to the early plan, but thistime not to seize the bridgehead, but strangle the russian armoured fist. A "Dürnkirchen" was in the air.. and there you are, taking command over one, of the three battlegroups from the 16.Pz.(tank) Division heading north, aware of the russian bridgehead`s defence, you`ll have to hurry to repell the desperate armoured attemps, you have to encounter with. anyway your the one in advance, your the hunter, not the prey... you`ll sure like it. email to: digutschH@aol.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
