Introduction |
---|
Pulling back again, the 97th Rifle Division now began to waver as German air attacks and German counter-battery fire (directed by unmolested spotter aircraft) took a heavy toll on the division’s artillery and support elements. The German mountain troops pressed their attack, but the Red Army riflemen finally had hope of the long-promised reinforcements. |
Conclusion |
---|
After several days of good performance, 97th Rifle Division collapsed during this battle and it appears that Zakharov was killed in action (at least he disappears from the record and a new commander takes over the division’s remnants). The 81st Mechanized Division fared little better, breaking up into several groups as it attempted to break contact, with most of them being surrounded. |
Additional Notes |
---|
Gebirgsjäger leaders in 49th Mountain Corps, which are taken from Parachutes Over Crete, use conventional named ranks. The library was setup using German rank references. Players not owning Parachutes Over Crete may substitute counters from Edelweiss, Edelweiss Expanded or Edelweiss IV. Players using Edelweiss counters should download the Gebirgs leaders from Avalanche Press. Edelweiss IV is available through the Gold Club portal. |
