updated 061014

The scenario is credited to the Scenario Exchange Program (SEP), with the specific author not specified. This scenario was published in ON ALL FRONTS number 30. Extensive clarifications and modification have been made to the original scenario and modified by Bill Thomson for tournament purposes. Further scenario playtest development by Phil Grasha and Bill Thomson


NEAR THE TOWN OF PUZANA: June 22, 1941: The Russians were in a total upheaval as the Panzers poured across the border. Ill-trained, ill equipped troops reinforced by the available tanks attempted to stem the onslaught. For General Guderian's' tankers, this was the first battle of the campaign.

VICTORY CONDITIONS: Victory is determined by the most units destroyed. AFV's eliminated with their crews count as two units destroyed. AFVs lost without crews, leaders (infantry or armor), squads and crews count as one unit destroyed. Captured units count as double value. To win, the Germans must have a greater number of victory points AND occupy two multihex buildings on board 3 with an unbroken infantry unit (leader, squad or crew). The occupying unit may not be in melee and no Russian infantry units may be in any hex of the same building. The Russians win by avoiding a German victory.

AFTERMATH: The poorly trained Russian tankers were confused throughout the battle and lumbered into the fire of the experienced German gunners. The few surviving Russians scattered with fifty tanks knocked out. It had been a hopelessly uneven battle and the triumphant Panzers rode on.
