Introduction

On the back side of the German encirclement effort, even the Landwehr divisions that had helped hold the center of the German line during the pincer movement now joined the attack. Tenth Army commander Hermann von Eichhorn had hoped to keep these older, poorly-armed troops out of heavy fighting. But rather than trail along behind the retreating Russians, they attacked.

Conclusion

Pressing the Russians out of the cauldron probably wasn’t in the best interest of the overall German plan, but Lt. Gen. Herman Clausius of 10th Landwehr Division hadn’t returned from retirement to stay out of the fighting. His over-aged reservists had seen action since the first weeks of the war, and they pushed the Russians back through the snowy forest with considerable spirit.

Additional Notes

Counters and maps from the first edition of August 1914 will work in place of those components of the second edition.

Maps from Eastern Front Deluxe or Panzer Grenadier: The East front may be used in place of those from Fire in the Steppe.

The German Oberleutnant should be a Leutnant.
