Introduction

Leontovich, given most of Tenth Army’s cavalry plus some infantry to reinforce his own 3rd Cavalry Division, had no Russian formation to his right – the horsemen stood alone at the end of the Russian line. With a heavy layer of snow on the ground, and more coming down by the hour, the horsemen had lost their mobility advantage and presented no more of an obstacle than lightly-armed infantry. The German Tenth Army therefore threw four infantry divisions at the Russian flank guard.

Conclusion

The Germans had more trouble with the blizzard than with the Russians, despite the intervention of infantry reserves that the Russian Tenth Army’s command had stationed behind the cavalry in case of just such an attack. The German attack slowed, allowing the Russian cavalry division to retreat directly westward.

Additional Notes

Counters and maps from the first edition of August 1914 will work in place of those components of the second edition.

Maps from Eastern Front Deluxe or Panzer Grenadier: The East front may be used in place of those from Fire in the Steppe.

The German Oberleutnants should be a Leutnants.
