Oboyan (PC2)

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

## Briefings

Mein General, Hauptmann Rudel is back from his latest sortie.

I did promise him a meeting with us upon his return... I apologize in advance for what I know is coming, sir.

*Hauptmann Hans-Ulrich Rudel snaps off a quick salute as he approaches.*

Permission to speak freely, Herr General?

*Oberst Wagner looks to you for a moment, before nodding to Hauptmann Rudel.*

What the hell is your army doing? I'm flying almost 20 sorties a day, but every time I look down, it doesn't appear that your forces are even moving.

I should be thankful, I have never had an easier time identifying enemy tanks, because yours are the ones that are stationary!

I heard you knocked out a dozen Soviet tanks, is that right?

*Hauptmann Rudel is surprised by the question, and is silent for a moment.*

In a single day, yes. But it has not been confirmed just yet.

A most impressive accomplishment, wouldn't you agree, Mein General? When this campaign is over, we will start the review process to add swords to your Knight's Cross.

I appreciate that, Herr Oberst, but it is that very campaign that I am most concerned with! Your pace on the ground...

Has been set according to a strict timetable. As you have noted yourself, we face an abundance of enemies that we cannot just recklessly engage. Not all of us can strike as swiftly as your Jabo, Hauptmann.

We have heard your concerns for the pace of the operation, and recognize your outstanding performance. Was there anything else, Hauptmann?

*Hauptmann Rudel still looks displeased, but he only shakes his head.*

No, sir.

Dismissed, Hauptmann.

*Oberst Wagner waits a moment as Rudel walks off to meet with his ground crew.*

I was expecting much worse from that one.

But he has a point, Mein General. This operation has not begun well, and there are fears that it will not end well either.

We must press on as ordered for now, but we should be ready for change. Rudel is right, this pace cannot continue as is.

**Primary Objective: Capture Oboyan.**

**Bonus Objective: Capture all Airfield Secondary Hexes before Oboyan.**

### Debriefing

Yes, sir. I will inform the General immediately.

*Oberst Wagner hangs up his field telephone.*

That was a call from Manstein's HQ. They received an update from 9th Army on the northern side of the salient.

Slow as our progress has been, 9th Army has penetrated into the salient even less. They have only advanced a third as far as we have.

Field Marshal Manstein is on his way to have a meeting with us tomorrow morning.

We had better get what rest we can, I suspect it will not be a cheerful rendezvous.

**Historically, Army Group South's deepest penetration into the Kursk salient would be achieved at Oboyan.**

**But with Army Group South at Oboyan and Army Group North at Olkhovatka, there still remained a 75 mile (120Km) gap between the two German Army Groups.**

**As the German forces slowly ground to a halt in the face of seemingly endless minefields and defensive lines, the Soviets now began to activate their mobile reserve to counterattack...**

## Messages

* Mein General, if I may interrupt our deployment for a moment: we have received an offer of resupply of a very unusual nature. As you may already be aware, we have been field testing some dual fuselage Messerschmitt fighters for a couple years now. I have here a report that the project is being canceled, and so it seems the aircraft will never reach full production.

However, instead of simply scrapping the remaining prototypes, we could use our influence to appropriate them for use in combat operations, for as long as the remaining stockpile of parts will last for. These aircraft boast impressive flying ranges, and perhaps we can find some niche for them in our campaigns.

You have %d Commendation Points.

Would you like to use 3 Commendation Points acquire all remaining prototype Bf109z aircraft?

* You choose to accept the offer. You now have %d Commendation Points.

* You choose to reject the offer. You still have %d Commendation Points

* Bonus Objective to Capture all Airfield Secondary Hexes before Oboyan completed.
Earned Commendation Points: 4.
Total Commendation Points: %d.
