In the Panzers Path*
*
Date: June 29, 1941*
*
Battle Location: Siniawka region, USSR*
*
Battle Type: USSR delay vs Germany advance*
*
Description: Operation Barbarossa has caught the Red Army unprepared. While the Soviet armies on the frontier attempt to hold the line strong German Panzer spearheads have sliced through the defences and are moving deep into the Soviet hinterland.*
*
In the Siniawka region on the approaches to Sluzsk one Soviet rifle battalion is positioned in the path of the onrushing German Panzers. There has been no time for adequate defensive measures; the troops will have to fight where they stand. Adequate anti-tank weapons are also missing, but two howitzer batteries are being towed into position. The Soviet commander has a choice of using these in their intended role or as improvised anti-tank guns. A Soviet tank company is also reported enroute to help shore up the defence. Will it be enough to slow down the irresistible Panzers?*
