SPECIAL SCENARIO RULES:
- SEP 203.1: TERRAIN: Movement along the forest
path (10F4) cost infantry 1MF/ Calvary 2 MP but has no other affect. The rowhouse
status of buildings on board 10 are ignored (10AA5) . Treat as level 1 connected
stone buildings.
- SEP 203.2: Prior to the start of the game,
the German player secretly chooses if his OBA module is 4 missions of 80 mm,
3 missions of 100 mm, 2 missions of 120 mm, or 1 mission of 150 mm.
- SEP 203.3: Russian tanks do not have compete
freedom of movement due to lack of wireless equipment. The Russian player
must roll one die during his Rally Phase for every multiple of six (or fraction
thereof) remaining mobile AFVs. The resulting number is the number of AFVs
that may move that turn. AFVs already on board are not prevented from firing,
pivoting, or changing their turret covered arc within the hex they already
occupy. Russian AFVs are exempt from this restriction only if they are unbuttoned
(commander in CE position) and in the LOS of the designated command AFV (also
unbuttoned at the start of the Movement Phase. AFVs entering from off board
meet these requirement only if they enter unbuttoned and in the same hex using
sequential movement. If the designate command AFV (initially the KVI) is eliminated
or immobilized, another AFV may be so designated at the start of the following
Rally Phase.
AFTERMATH:
Despite heavy losses, the Russians pressed the attack, but a
fanatical defense eventually forced a withdrawal. The next day the drive on
Moscow continued.
