Germans Lost the Town |
---|
Was the town Rovno? Probably not. Rovno had a population of over 200,000. The strategy of the Soviets was to take the town as quickly as a and cause the Germans to retake the town. This move would be necessary because the scenario hinged o nn control of the town. Or did it? I was confused about victory conditions. Does road control only mean the east-west road? Or does it mean the much more daunting task of total road control. A bit of research shows that Rovno was captured on 6/28/41 indicating the area was under German control three days to the west of Rovno and the Soviet counterattack. The counterattack was bloody for the Soviets shmm it accomplished its purpose.It threw the Germans into disarray enough for them to call their attack off and withdraw from the town by turn 11. O8 |
