WG208 "FLUGPLATZ 51" (BETA)

Scenario Design by Kevin Welsh; Rev B; Updated 121029

SEPTEMBER, 1941 : The German drive east shatters the Russian front opening large gaps between advancing elements and their logistical tail. Captured Soviet airfields are integrated as points of resupply for the German lead formations. As the organized Soviet resistance crumbles , bypassed Soviet remnants of destroyed formations assimilate into ad hoc battlegroups to threaten the security of captured airfields such as Flugplatz 51.

VICTORY CONDITIONS: The Russians win immediately at the end of any player turn in which they have undisputed control of the tower hex (14L5) and any three of the four (4) remaining buildings that are adjacent to the airstrip. To achieve undisputed control of a building your forces must have been the last to occupy any hex of the building when no broken or unbroken enemy unit (squad, crew on foot, or leader) are in the building. AFV’s alone may not control a building. The German wins by avoiding the Russian Victory Conditions at the end of Game Turn 7.
