Introduction
|
|
The two-part Soviet offensive into Ukraine in winter and spring 1944 cleared the Germans and their allies out of almost all pre-war Soviet territory. The leading spearheads even forced their way across the Dnestr River into Bessarabia, Romania's eastern province. Several times the Soviets launched attacks from their bridgehead at Tiraspol' toward Kishinev, the province's capital. The German command ordered the bridgehead eliminated and the Red Army pushed back into Ukraine.

Conclusion
|
|
The 320th Rifle Division had taken the bridgehead in April while part of 5th Shock Army, but had been transferred to 46th Army in the interim and the new command doesn't seem to have been as quick to lend support. With only one river crossing under Soviet control, which the Germans soon brought under machine-gun fire, the Soviets found themselves forced back into a smaller and smaller perimeter. "The heroes literally fought to the last bullet," the army command staff reported, "Major General I.I. Svygin, the division commander, together with other members of the division's command group, died valiantly on the field of battle while inspiring his soldiers."

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)
- Assault Gun: if closed-top, provide the +1 Assault bonus, when applicable
