Battle Description: HYPOTHETICAL - As Berlin falls and the Reich collapses, Germany has withdrawn its newest and most secret weapons to a factory complex beyond the Elbe, intent on surrendering to the Americans.  Comrade Stalin, however, does not wish to see these new weapons (which reportedly include super heavy tanks, jet aircraft, and some sort of contraption that can fly vertically) fall into the hands of his future enemy.  He thus orders Zhukov to form an elite force (consisting of some of Russia's newest weapons as well) to advance beyond the Elbe and capture the factory complex before the Americans.*
*
It is now a race between the Russians and Americans.  The Germans are determined to use the new weapons, if necessary, to hold off the Russians until the Americans can arrive.
*
Notes: This scenario was designed for PBEM / human versus human play.  If played against the AI, it is probably best played with the human player as the German / American side.  For preferences, breakdowns should be turned on.*
