After a heavy Russian counterattack which started on 5. december 1941, Model's 9th Army had stabilized its positions to the west of Moscow, although there was still a danger of encirclement. The Russians were attacking from all sides that winter, well into 1942.

You are in command of General Rauss' Kampfgruppe, reinforced by 3 battalions of the 6th Panzer division. Your mission is to keep the roads toward Vyazma and Rzhev free of the enemy. You are also ordered to take and hold the two small airports of Frfotalowka and Prepelichewo, both of which are suspected to be enemy strong points. Attack slowly and cautiously.

You need to occupy points A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J with at least one unit. You cannot lose, unless all your units are lost. Occasionally, the High command will send you some reinforecements if you lose too many units, so there is no real reason for defetism and panic. The Fuhrer and the Army high-command have full confidence in you! (See the annotated map for graphical info).

This mission is dedicated to all the Russian and German soldiers who fought and died on the Eastern front during WW-2.
