Operation Nordlight

**Operation Nordlight** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

This is a pleasant surprise. I had not expected to see you again quite so soon, General %playername%.

I suppose it is only logical though. After our success in taking Sevastopol, we would naturally be called upon to end the protracted siege of Leningrad.

The bulk of my 11th Army infantry are already moving into positions, and combined with your...

*The sudden ringing of a field telephone interrupts Field Marshal von Manstein.*

Nordlicht Command here, Oberst Wagner speaking.

*An expression of surprise covers Wagner's face as the voice on the line barks instructions.*

Yes of course, I shall inform him immediately.

*The person on the other end of the line immediately hangs up, and then Wagner hangs up his telephone.*

Herr Field Marshal, that was a call straight from High Command. Effective immediately, you are to halt your planned assault on Leningrad.

What could possibly justify abandoning my plans so suddenly?

The Soviets are attacking us!

**Primary Objective: Defend all 4 Victory Hexes.**

**Bonus Objective: Destroy 6 4th Guards Corps Units.**

**Bonus Objective: Destroy 14 2nd Shock Army Units.**

More confirmation is coming in quickly, but our picket lines have made contact with powerful Soviet forces in this sector.

We must have missed something... How could we miss such a large build up right under our noses?

*Manstein pauses to think for a moment.*

If this situation is as urgent as it is appearing to sound, the Soviets can only have one goal in mind: to breakthrough our siege of Leningrad.

General %playername%, you must stop them. If I am right, my 11th Army will be needed to contain the Soviets in Leningrad who will be attempting to link up with this new offensive.

Assemble the best forces you can on such short notice, and do not let the Soviets reach the Neva River or the entire siege will unravel before our eyes!

To victory, for Germany!

### Debriefing

Repulsing such powerful Soviet forces on such short notice is commendable, Herr General.

If only our entire German Army was as capable as your veterans...

But this fight is not over yet. It is clear that we must respond to this unexpected attack decisively or risk giving our enemies time to learn and recover from the setback you have dealt to them.

There is also... another matter that I hesitate to bring up. But for now, let us take a short recess to properly review our situation.

**Historically, the Soviet offensive to break the German stranglehold on Leningrad preempted a new German initiative to take the city by mere days.**

**Amazingly, neither side was aware of the other having built up additional forces in the region for their respective operations.**

**This double blind effect could easily be attributed to most focus being pulled towards other events happening in the far distant Caucasus...**
