Battle of Moscow (PC2)

**Battle of Moscow** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

Herr General, High Command has set their sights on Moscow itself.

**Primary Objective: Hold at least 5 Victory Hexes at the end of the Battle.**

**Challenge Objective: Raid the Kremlin.**

The reports on the weather are worrisome. Although the problem with the muddy ground has subsided, the dropping temperature and snowfall have created new problems for our aircraft.

I have managed to temporarily increase our supply, so you can bring more units out of reserve for this final push. But we are definitely at the end of our tether.

There is one positive thing to report though. Intelligence shows the Soviets have long run out of reserves, so I guess we should only expect some weak static defenses to block our advance.

Good luck, Herr General.

### Debriefing

Herr General, it seems that I have been terribly mistaken.

The arrival of so many fresh Soviet reinforcements was completely unexpected, and it has put us in a serious situation.

With no more supply moving up to us, we cannot possibly hold our positions.

The Army Group Commanders have authorized an immediate withdrawal, and we will be expected to take up defensive positions to ride out the winter.

I apologize for the failure of my intelligence reports.

**Historically, the Battle of Moscow would prove to be a costly failure for the German Wehrmacht.**

**With their supply lines already stretched beyond breaking, heavy winter snow and subfreezing temperatures now combined to extract a heavier casualty toll on the Germans than combat with Soviet forces was inflicting.**

**With the elements against them and the sudden arrival of Soviet Siberian troops reinforcing Moscow, the beleaguered Wehrmacht forces were now forced on the defensive as the Soviet winter counteroffensive had only just begun.**

* ***Leutnant Gerhardt:*** Herr General, I do not recognize the unit markings on those enemy vehicles. There is nothing about them in any of our intelligence reports.

* ***Leutnant Gerhardt:*** I have a bad feeling that I may have been wrong about your briefing and this battle.

* ***Leutnant Gerhardt:*** Herr General, the news just came in, our forces have finally reached the Kremlin!

* ***Leutnant Gerhardt:*** According to this report though, the Soviets have evacuated all of their ranking government officials. Our troops were unable to locate Stalin or any of his inner circle.

* ***Leutnant Gerhardt:*** We have secured a wealth of files and documents though. I just hope our men do not burn it all to stay warm before I can take a look at the haul. There must be some valuable intelligence somewhere in there...
