Overview:

Previously released as a Deluxe scenario entitled "A Bush Across the Street" and "Ivan's Hide" . . .Strong Soviet counter-attacks punched a hole through the flank of Army Group North during the push toward Leningrad. The railway line between Dno and Staraya-Russa was cut off, forcing Manstein to order the motorized 3rd Infantry and the SS-Totenkopf Divisions to restore the situation. Spahtrupp Lummitsch from the SSTK Aufklarungsabteilung was about to enter the village of Djergljetz when two ME 110s flew over the column and opened fire on friendly troops before racing out of sight. With greater caution the column entered the seemingly abandoned village and sighted a strange obstacle one hundred meters down the road: a bush. A soldier suddenly appeared from the bush, drawing a volley from the Germans. An enemy armored car suddenly let loose from camouflaged positions and another was spotted approaching from the left through some gardens, all weapons blazing. . .
