Seelow Heights:
4/14/45. Your mission is to gain control of the Seelow Heights so the
assault on Berlin can proceed. Victory depends on your success.
1. Russian tanks and assault guns have advanced from the Oder, over the
defenses of the northern part of the Seelow Heights and have captured
the town of Seelow, but due to the speed of the assault have left their supporting
infantry, air defense and artillery behind. Meanwhile, German tanks, a
Brummbaer and other units are threatening to push Russian infantry back
to the Oder. |
|
2. German tanks and the
Brummbaer, ignoring the Russian infantry (who are still under artillery
fire from the Seelow Heights), attack the Seelow bridgehead from the
south in an attempt to cut the Russian armour from the rest of the army.
An intrepid infantry unit attacks Russian artillery from the north. Russian artillery is mostly out of ammunition, so cannot provide much support. |

3. The Russian armour
holds at Seelow! Russian auxillary infantry, in a heroic massed attack (and at
great cost), helps neutralise a powerful Panther brigade. The German tanks are destroyed, isolated or have retreated.
However some Russian forces in the area of Seelow are now very exposed
and a German counterattack could wreak havoc.
