Kharkov 43

**Kharkov 43** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps*.

## Briefings

I apologize for pulling you back to active duty so soon, Herr General, but you and your men are desperately needed! As your Generalfeldmarschall, I will keep you informed of your objectives and share intelligence with you as it becomes available during these briefings. Before you lead your troops in battle, let me explain our current situation.

Despite our best efforts to resupply forces trapped in Stalingrad, we have lost all contact with the 6th Army. In addition to this loss, the Soviets have gone on the offensive and retaken several major cities, including Kharkov! As one of the few combat-ready formations left in the region, it falls upon you to strike back at our over-extended and vulnerable enemy!

In order to crush this new Soviet winter offensive, it is vital that you retake Kharkov and force the Russians back over the Donets River. Although most of the river is currently frozen and easily traversed, our weather reports show that the Spring thaw is approaching quickly. Once the ice on the river is gone, attempting to cross should prove an insurmountable barrier for the Russians, assuming you provide at least several units to defend the west bank of the river. As a warning though, you should not attempt to advance over the Donets River with any of your forces, as there are reports of large enemy formations behind the enemy lines that could mobilize at any time!

Before you embark on your mission, there is one additional matter you should be aware of. We have learned that several high-ranking Soviet officers have been spotted around Kharkov, and we would like to& question several of them. If you manage to capture any of these officers, escort their **BA-64 units** to the area on your tactical map labeled **Sector A Capture Zone**, and we# ll take them into custody after the battle.

Crush the enemy armored spearheads, retake Kharkov, and drive the Soviets back across the Donets! Good luck, Herr General!

**Note: SE Unit limit for this campaign is 6. Experience cap has been set to 525.**

* Looks like you found one of those Soviet officers! Make sure to safely escort him to Capture Zone A.

* Enough Soviet Officers have been captured to satisfy our intelligence needs. Be sure to leave them in the Capture Zone and give them suitable protection, but now you can turn your main efforts to defeating Soviet forces in this region!
