HKL - The Orlovo Gorge map 3
Col von Natzmer, the divisions 1A, ordered Maj Gomille to send 6 of his Tigers to headquarters to act as a final reserve. He held the only remaining reserve, Maj Remers I(SPW) batallion of the Grenadier regiment, back for a counterattack and to defend the Shirokaya Gorge position.
The Tigers were all that was left between the Soviets and the division's rear. The first T 34's appeared emerging from the fog, streaming over Hill 168.8.
Your job as the German player is to stop the soviet attack and then counterattack to recapture Hill 168.8 and the Orlovo Gorge in order to restore the front
The Tigers were able to stop the Soviet tanks. The Tigers claimed 29 tanks in the battle. Maj Remer led a counterattack to recapture Hill 168.8 and restore the HKL which was only partly successful. Several Soviet tanks managed to get into Menshinka and caused panic but were surrounded and destroyed by a Pak Sfl in the village.
After this battle the front settled down as both sides were exhausted. The first snow fell a few days later.
