Gpig Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 I was reading in Stalingrad (by Beevor) about the launch of operation Typhoon. The renewed push to capture Moscow. The book quickly breezes over a seemingly dramatic bit where it states the Russian general Yemerenko (sp?) had narrowly avoided capture by German tanks while Russian units were being encircled. Also, he was wounded and had to be flown out of the combat area. This could be a fun little scenario to create in CM:BB and I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to point me to a worthy tome that could shed some light on the aforementioned incident. Forces involved, OOB's, etc. YEMERENKO's ESCAPE! heh heh. Thanks, Gpig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flesh Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 Hi, I did a quick search of the web to see what I could come up with. I couldn't find anything on your general. Maybe you got the spelling of his name wrong? Anyway, I found a site with some nice maps for Operation Typhoon: http://www.serpukhov.su/dima/war/eng/ebattle.htm Also, I found a page with an interesting bibliography on the battle for Moscow: http://members.tripod.com/~LCoat/mosatdes.htm Also, check the home page of that last site - it offers free WW2 boardgames that you can download and print out...
