Operation Case Blue
On June 28th, 1942 the German High Command launched its summer offensive (Case Blue) against the southern lines of the Soviet Union.
2 Army Groups of 10 Armies-nearly 35 Divisions and 2 full Air Corps, were unleashed against the Soviet lines.
It involved a two-pronged attack. One along the Axis right flank driving to the Caucasus and the vital oil fields of Baku,
and the other against the left flank in the direction of Stalingrad and the Volga River.
The battle would rage for 2 months over several hundred square kilometers that would take the German Army to the gates of Stalingrad itself.
Heroes of the Bitter Harvest (previously titled Heroes Road to Stalingrad) is a module for the Lock 'n Load Tactical series.
It features fluid, impulse-based turns, squad-level, and individual heroics, plus lots of armor and
special rules to bring the fight for the southern steppes of Russia to life.
German Landser, Mechanized, and Armored formations clash with Soviet Line, Guards, and NKVD Divisions.
New units never before seen in the Lock 'n Load Tactical series are introduced.
The German Pz IV F and G along with the Marder II and StuG IIIF join the battlefield as well as the
Soviet Tachanka MG wagon, NKVD troops, and the IL2 Sturmovik.
We also introduce a new leader type-the Incompetent Leader.
The scenarios range from the city of Voronezh and through Rostov, as far south as the Caucasus Mountains.
Into the footsteps of the Silk Road at Khulkhuta, up and into the outskirts of Stalingrad itself.
The steppes of southern Russia await you!" |
