Overview:
On the last day of Operation Citadel, the Das Reich was on the flank of the 1st SS. While the 2nd Panzer Regiment was acquiring its new Panther tanks in Germany, Das Reich had to make do with a number of captured Soviet T-34 tanks repainted in German colors and commanded by Emil Seibold with 69 kills to his credit. Meanwhile the 1st SS engaged the 5th Guards Army even as the Das Reich was attacked by the 2nd Guards Armored Division. A column of sixty Soviet tanks attacked along a hollow in an attempt to breach the lines of the Der Fuhrer Regiment. As the Soviets moved through the hollow, Seibold's T-34 appeared over the crest of a low range of hills on the Soviet flank. Believing that the approaching tanks were Soviet, the Russian commander continued his attack against the Der Fuhrer Regiment. . .Attacker: Russian (2nd Guards Army)

| Tactical Objective should read: The Russians win immediately upon gaining => 80 VP. VP are awarded for Russian units exited off the west board edge of board 33 and for CVP inflicted on German units. Q&A Regarding HSR 2: The Tanks must all be placed on the map at the same time. HSR 3 should read: Russian 3-2-8 HSs are Assault Engineers. All SMC counters may be left off-board if stacked with a MMC. The MMC ID may be secretly recorded as a side record until the SMC's Leadership benefits are used in any manner whereupon the SMC must then be placed with the appropriate MMC. The unknown SMC will still suffer any fire results; KIA, K, Morale Check, Pin results of the owning MMC and is thereby also placed on the map. All 1 PP SWs may be kept off-board until used or unpossessed, when it then must be placed on the map. Prior to game play all undisclosed SW must be assigned to a SMC/MMC unit with its ID secretly recorded on a side record. | HOB |
