TAHGC 17 "Debacle at Korosten"

Updated 051206; rev 0

ALONG THE KIEV ROAD, August 30, 1941: As the front spread with each German success, vast gaps were left in the main line. These gaps proved to be perfect avenues of approach for the far ranging Russian cavalry. Once such daring group, the 1st Regiment, 2nd Cavalry Division, rode deep behind German lines to the map depot of the 6th Army, near the town of Korosten. Waiting until twilight, they drew their sabers and came sweeping across the steppes like the Cossacks of old.
RULE LIMITATIONS: All rules through 93.

VICTORY CONDITIONS: The Russians win by eliminating any 11 German squads/crews which start the game on board 3, and exiting at least 5 mounted calvary units permanently off the south of board 5. The Germans win by avoiding the Russian victory conditions.

AFTERMATH: The German rear echelon troops were totally stunned, and many were indeed dispatched by the sword. Desperate calls for help to the nearby 16th Motorized Division succeeded in saving only a few dazed survivors, all that remained of the map depot by the time help arrived.
