Dynamic Campaign: Volunteers Wanted

[Ts4EVER]

One question though: How much do you plan ahead? Do you only have a rough outline or do you prepare for different "cases"?

The Russians were driven out of the village and routed completely. Decisive victory by turn 35.

I decided to let the support units do the heavy lifting at the beginning. With support of my StuGs they were to push the weakened Russians out of the town and take up defensive positions at the outskirts. I then wanted to move up my core infantry to deal with the Russian counter attack/reinforcements I expected. However, neither did materialize, so all that was left was mopping up at the end.

Some of my core infantry and scout troops lost some people and one StuG got heavily damaged and lost some crew members (ironically the brand new one).

Gut gemacht!

Your KG is withdrawn to preserve combat power. In your sector, and along the entire Div.-Gruppe 137 zone the line is holding but further south the Soviets are gaining ground. And they are advancing rapidly.

News of trouble in Berlin reach the front but you are much too busy to pay any greater amount of attention to it. It looks as if you could be encircled as the Soviets are trying to seal off the entire BREST-LITOWSK.

During the last days of July BREST-LITOWSK is declared to be a Fortress. The troops are depressed as it is considered a veritable death sentence, but then the order is revoked. Instead a breakout to the west is ordered to start before the Soviet ring becomes solid.

You are to spearhead the effort...

I don't really plan ahead too much - your 'campaign story' is based on the actual history of Divisions-Gruppe 137/Korps-Abeilung E but with some liberties taken...
