Fighting Formations: Grossdeutschland Division's Battle for Kharkov (Inglés)

Attacks and Counterattacks were the order of the day, any day...

In the early winter months of 1943 the Soviets were driving deep into German lines. Their hope was to destroy the southern wing of the German army while it was still reeling from its defeat at Stalingrad. There were large gaps in the German lines and a quick advance here could turn the tide of the war. Time after time the Panzergrenadier Division Grossdeutschland was called upon to reinforce, fill and stabilize weak points, and to close the gaps before the onslaught of Soviet troops could pour through. Oftentimes they were outnumbered and arrived just in the nick of time. As the front stabilized they were called upon again to spearhead the German drives against the Soviet 40th and 69th Armies.

In this expansion for Fighting Formations we feature the Grossdeutschland Division as it fought in 1943 and early 1944 around the Ukrainian city of Kharkov. In each Scenario, one player will take command of elements of this elite German formation while the other assumes control of the opposing forces of the Soviet Union.

This expansion features 10 new Scenarios, many using new Units for the German and Soviet sides, played on 10 new Maps.
