WG258 Rebound

WG258: "REBOUND"; Scenario Design by Pete Pollard; REV A

NOVEMBER, 1942: In the previous assault the Germans have nearly exhausted their reserves, however, the Soviet defenders were decimated from the onslaught. Unfortunately for the Germans, a newly formed Russian Army, held in reserve, now presses forward to retake the recently overrun positions. The Germans have not been able to fully consolidate their defenses and any available panzers are presently refueling or rearming when the attack started.

VICTORY CONDITIONS: The Russians must be the last to occupy 4 of the 5 stone buildings on board 3. AFV's, crews, snipers, and leaders do not count toward or against these victory conditions.

BOARD LAYOUT: All board ID# are on the lower left side as shown.
