                       Achtung Panzer - Shilovo 1942

    Release Date :  8/2014                         Protection : Steam
    Discs        :  1                              Genre      : Strategy


    Intending to enter Voronezh from the South, on July 4, 1942, attacking
	German forces partly crossed the river Don at Petino - Malyshevo.
	Bitter fighting quickly ensued over possession of the Shilovo bridge-
	head, as neither side wanted to lose this strategically important
	asset. The bridgehead provided the shortest route across the river Don
	at Malyshevo, terminating in the Southern outskirts of Voronezh on the
	right bank of the river. German forces intended to use the right bank
	in their drive to Stalingrad. Hitler was later to declare delays
	advancing through this region contributed to the failure at Stalingrad,
	having given Soviet forces more time to prepare. The Shilovo forest
	presented ideal opportunities for the concealed deployment of reserve
	forces. It masked warehouses, logistical assets & accommodations.
	Shilovo, located on high ground, held a dominant position on the left
	bank. From the village and especially from the church bell-tower, the
	disposition of Soviet defensive forces at Maslovka, Tavrovo, and
	Beryozovka was clearly visible, even without field glasses.
    In-game engagements are modelled for the period from July 4 to July 6,
	1942. The battle (on the map modeled in the game) was fought by:
	German 24th Pz. Div. (26th Inf. Regt., 24th Inf. Regt.) with
	reinforcements, and Soviet 232 Rifle Div. (498 Rifle Regt., 425 Art.
	Regt.), 110 Tank Bde and a battalion of 180 Tank Bde (last is
	unconfirmed). Elements of the 24th Pz. Div. had begun crossing the Don
	on the morning of 4th July. Initially only lightly armed units made
	the crossing, moving towards Voronezh. Heavy equipment and artillery
	followed only on 5th July. On the morning of 5th July the German
	forces were unsuccessfully counter-attacked by tanks of 110 and 180
	Tank Bde. German forces defeated elements of the 232nd Rifle Div. and
	took control of Shilovo. Germans noted the strong influence of Soviet
	air support.
