________SCENARIO NOTES:**

In Octobre 1942 the German forces reached the Kaukasus. Malgobek, a relatively small town situated in a valley in the Kaukasus mountains, was a keypoint in the oil pipeline running north to south. And therefore a strategically important place for the Germans as well as for the Russians.**

___HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:**

from "Wiking", by Henk Kistemaker:**

"Nothing good was waiting for us. A General addressed us and explained the situation. Somewhere in the vicinity was a town called Malgobek. This is a Chechen name I will never forget. This town was a keypoint in the oil pipeline running north to south. Whoever took this town would possess the pipeline. The General told us that the Wehrmacht had tried to take the village several times. They were not howver able totake it. We, together with a Finnish battalion, had to finnish this job.**

"From our Kompanie of around 200 fighting troops, thirty had died and 130 were wounded. Only forty men were left."**

_________PLAYER NOTES:**

Take Malgobek and all V-Hexes. You have plenty of hardware available. But be careful. This town is as important to the Russians as it is to you!**
