Attention Axis Commanders:

TO THE COMMANDER OF II Panzer Korps (Gen Alexandra)

You will be in charge of the main thrust in the center.

You have the most powerful SS panzer divisions (1 SS LAH, 2 SS DR and 3 SS).

Two IDs are also available (167 ID and 168 ID).

Also are included some interesting assets from II Panzer Korps.

The intel services say that the soviets have powerful defenses in front of Stroitel. You need to breach these defenses the first day of operations (1st to 4th turn). It will be a difficult task, because we don't have enough engineers units. But we will have strong support from the Luftwaffe.

You have to decide what is the best way to breach these defenses. Please evaluate your forces to see in your forces are strong enough to acomplish this task.

Since the first turn only will enable us to approach the minefields, we will not need to discuss the assets needed for this turn. After this turn we will have to negotiate the assets needed (I mean air and other special assets) for every Korps Commander.

If you don't have any more questions you can start the advance of your forces now. If you have some question you can post it in this thread. If you need to share ultra sensitive information and want more privacy or avoid Lucy spies please pm me.

After this turn I will publish a map with the main routes of advance.

Here is the file to start.
