No Room for Fear*
*
Date: October 6, 1943*
*
Battle Location: Nevel Region, Russia*
*
Battle Type: Germany delay vs USSR advance*
*
Description: In early October 1943 the Soviets exploited the weak boundary between the German army groups North and Centre. Catching the Germans unprepared a massive attack tore into the unlucky German 2. Luftwaffe Feld Division.*
*
Poorly equipped and trained the Luftwaffe ground troops were unable to stop the Soviets. About a month later all of the Luftwaffe Field Divisions were to be transferred to army control.*
*
In this battle a weak Luftwaffe battalion holding the line is confronted with a heavy Soviet force. If they are to make it through there can be no room for fear.*
*
Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the German side.*
