Grozny

**Grozny** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

Our advance through the Caucasus is going very well, Mein General.

The flat terrain of the region is excellent for our Panzers to swiftly advance through.

But there are some terrain obstacles ahead that I feel compelled you warn you of.

**Primary Objective: Capture all Victory Hexes.**

**Bonus Objective: Raid Grozny before securing the final Victory Hex.**

**Bonus Objective: Raid Mt Elbrus before securing the final Victory Hex.**

We are quickly approaching the Terek River, and crossing it may prove to be very problematic.

To the south, the Caucasus Mountains prevent any kind of flanking maneuver.

Though it would make good press back home if we could plant our flag over Mt. Elbrus. I don't personally care about climbing the highest mountain peak in Europe, but I'm sure someone will make a fuss over it.

And to the east, barren desert protects the Soviet right flank.

If we're going to cross the Terek River, I'm afraid it must be done somewhere here.

It is extremely likely the Soviets have massively reinforced this natural barrier to stop our advance through the Caucasus region, so I would not underestimate our enemies in this battle.

To victory, for Germany!

### Debriefing

Another mission, another success, Mein General.

With just one more push, we should be...

*The sudden ringing of a telephone interrupts Oberst Wagner.*

Ja, Caucasus Command, Oberst Wagner speaking.

*The person on the other end of the line is speaking.*

What!?

*The person on the other end of the line is speaking.*

But we are so close to our objective, we only need...

*The person on the other end of the line is speaking.*

Are we really in that much danger?

*The person on the other end of the line is speaking.*

Very well, I shall inform General %playername% immediately.

*Oberst Wagner hangs up the telephone.*

We've been ordered to halt our advance, and prepare for immediate redeployment.

Apparently things are not going well north of us along the Volga River, and if we do not intervene, all our successes here are in danger of being wiped out!

**Historically, while the Germans certainly made impressive gains in their advance through the Caucasus, ultimately they would fall short of reaching their ultimate objectives.**

**As they approached the Caucasus Mountains, the rate of the advance slowly significantly on the difficult terrain.**

**And a determined defense by the Soviets along the Terek River kept the Germans from penetrating deeper into Azerbaijan's oil fields and reaching Baku.**

**With winter approaching, no reinforcements were available to continue the advance. Instead, Germany had become totally pre-occupied by events happening along the Volga River...**

## Messages

* Mein General, as you are well aware, our anti-tank units have been working overtime against the swarms of Soviet tanks we have been fighting against in our campaigns. An offer just came in to field test an improved StuG chassis, and I definitely think we are going to want to get our hands on them. While not as impressive as our prototype heavy tanks, these StuGs are definitely proving to be very effective, relative to their logistical footprint.
