Historical Background:*
On the morning of 13 January 1945 the Third White Russian Front started its offensive against Eastprussia with a two hour long artillery bombardment from more than 350 batteries north of the road from Ebenrode to Gumbinnen. Around the town of Schlossberg lots of defensive battles raged. On 15 January strong Russian forces broke through south of Schlossberg. The city was lost.**
SCENARIONOTES:*
Hold the line south of Schlossberg at all costs! The Oberkommando counts on you to hold back Iwan!.**
DESIGNER NOTES*
As the German Kommandant, you have to defend your defensive line as long as possible. Though the Oberkommando counts on you to hold the line, I count on your good common sense to decide if the situation asks for the ultimate gift to your Fatherland or not. For that reason, around the end of the scenario an exit hex will appear.**
