Overview:

The Soviet summer offensive, Operation Bagration, had already rolled over Army group Center and finally spent itself on the banks of the Vistula. Several bloody tak vs tank actions were fought as the Soviets moved west. Once such encounter occurred when Junior Lieutenant Oskin of the 53rd Guards Tank Brigade went to reconnoiter the village of Ogledow and establish the whereabouts of the Brigade's 2nd Battalion, only to find it swarming with Germans. With no sign of the 2nd Battalion, Oskin was told to stay put and observe enemy activity. Concealing his T-34 in the tall corn nearby, his squad of 'tank marines' camouflaged the tank and made two dummy haystacks to render their deployment less conspicuous. Next morning, three King Tigers carrying infantry rolled down the road towards the waiting Soviets but the latter's camouflage proved effective until Oskin betrayed his position. . . Paper Tigers takes place in 1944 in Southern Poland with a lone T34/85 manned by an elite crew (9-2 Leader), and accompanying SMG squad ambushing three Tiger’s accompanied by a platoon of German Infantry. To win the scenario the Russians need to conduct a careful ambush and avoid retribution, the Germans need to plan against the expected attack and regain the initiative as soon as the Soviets break cover.
