Game Verson: SPWAW H2Hfr
Author's Name: M4 Jess
Scenario Title: Hill .621
Scenario Date: July 7, 1944
Size: Large
Forces Involved: Russian Assault vs. German Defend
Scenario Version: Based on ASL Scenario #5
Scenario Slot: 222
Description: In late June 1944, The Soviets began what would eventually be known as "Destruction of Army Group Center." The key to this offensive was the city of Minsk. Should it be captured, numerous German units would be hopelessly cut off. One of the key routes for the Germans retreat was via Stolbtsky Highway which ran behind a series of low ridges and then crossed the Berezina River south of Minsk. On July 1st, the much overworked and understrength German 170th Infantry Division, in reality a large Battalion, was overwhelmed by elements of Rotmistroves Fifth Guards Army. The survivors took to their heels and attempted patch together a defence along the last line of ridges overlooking the vital escape route to Minsk. Russians, using Penal units, in probing for a weakness in the German line, have managed to over run the German rear guard and are now boiling out towards the key series of ridges that overlook the German lines of communication in this sector. Hurriedly gathered German units converge in an attempt to patch up the line and hold Hill .621 which is the key to the German defence in this sector.
