Introduction
|
|
After a week of slogging up to the Soviet border from their stations in Norway, two German mountain divisions began an attack along the Arctic coastline with the goal of seizing Murmansk. The Austrians of the 137th Mountain Regiment (formerly the "Erzherzog Rainier" Regiment of the old Imperial Army) ran into fierce resistance from the very start but had a secret weapon ready for such circumstances.
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
The Salzburgers cleared the bunker line with the help of their engineers, but not without heavy fighting and significant casualties. The divisional history hints that they did so using poison gas, but does not specify the type and this may have been a field expedient. With the first barrier broken, the Austrians believed the road to Murmansk lay open. They were mistaken.

Display Relevant AFV Rules
| AFV Rules Pertaining to this Scenario's Order of Battle |
- Vulnerable to results on the Assault Combat Chart (7.25, 7.63, ACC), and may be attacked by Anti-Tank fire (11.2, DFT). Anti-Tank fire only affects the individual unit fired upon (7.62, 11.0).
- AFV's are activated by tank leaders (3.2, 3.3, 5.42, 6.8).
They may also be activated as part of an initial activating stack, but if activated in this way would need a tank
leader in order to carry out combat movement.
- AFV's do not block Direct Fire (10.1).
- Full-strength AFV's with "armor efficiency" may make two anti-tank (AT) fire attacks per turn
(either in their action segment or during opportunity fire) if they have AT fire values of 0 or more
(11.2).
- Each unit with an AT fire value of 2 or more may fire at targets at a distance of between 100% and 150% of its
printed AT range. It does so at half its AT fire value. (11.3)
- Efficient and non-efficient AFV's may conduct two opportunity fires per turn if using direct fire
(7.44, 7.64).
Units with both Direct and AT Fire values may use either type of fire in the same turn as their opportunity fire,
but not both (7.22, 13.0).
Units which can take opportunity fire twice per turn do not have to target the same unit both times (13.0).
- Demoralized AFV's are not required to flee from units that do not have AT fire values (14.3).
- Place a Wreck marker when an AFV is eliminated in a bridge or town hex (16.3).
- AFV's do not benefit from Entrenchments (16.42).
- AFV's may Dig In (16.2).
- Closed-top AFV's: Immune to M, M1 and M2 results on Direct and Bombardment Fire Tables. Do not take step losses from Direct or Bombardment Fire. If X or #X result on Fire Table, make M morale check instead (7.25, 7.41, 7.61, BT, DFT).
- Closed-top AFV's: Provide the +1 modifier on the Assault Table when combined with infantry. (Modifier only applies to Germans in all scenarios; Soviet Guards in scenarios taking place after 1942; Polish, US and Commonwealth in scenarios taking place after 1943.) (ACC)
- Tank: all are closed-top and provide the +1 Assault bonus, when applicable

Soviet Union Order of Battle
| 5 Errata Items |
|
The Anti-Tank Fire value is 2-4. It was misprinted in Edelweiss.
|
|
The reduced direct fire value in Kursk: Burning Tigers is 4-4.
|
|
Kommissars never get morale or combat modifiers. Ignore misprints.
|
|
Strongpoints are single step units and can be eliminated with X results like any other single step unit.
|
|
|
Strongpoints are affected by the terrain in their hex just like any other unit.
Even though they can't move, they can attack using Assault Combat if an enemy unit moves into their hex.
They may not dig in or benefit from entrenchments.
