Introduction
|
|
Twelfth Tank Division, like the rest of VIII Mechanized Corps, had spent the first several days of the Great Patriotic War wandering behind the Soviet lines as various levels of the high command issued and countermanded new attack plans. Finally drawn up for battle, having left behind many tanks along the roads thanks to breakdowns and German air attacks, the once-proud divisions prepared to punish the Hitlerite invaders. The attack began with the code phrase "Seven seven seven seven."

Conclusion
|
|
Despite a number of inept tactical errors and a lack of artillery support - German air attacks had destroyed the artillery regiment's prime movers - the Soviets managed to fight their way across the Slonovka and establish a bridgehead on its north bank. Slowly they brought their tanks across the rickety repaired bridge and cleared German anti-tank positions from the nearby areas. The advance could continue despite a number of tank losses and the reluctance of some tank crews to move their machines into the open.

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