Contexte historique :
During the destruction of Army Group Centre many of Hitler's "Fortress Cities" were cut off and encircled by the Russian advance. These moves were almost a perfect copy of the German Blitzkrieg tactics. One of the cut off cities was Bobruisk, which had become a fortress. Pillboxes and old tank turrets were set up throughout the city. Covering the city to the East, a series of trenches and earthworks covered the approaches. But the Russian attack came from the Northern and Southern flanks where the Germans were least likely repel an attack. After breaching the outer German defences, the Russian advance turned into a bloody street fighting.
By the end of the 29th of June, Bobruisk had fallen to the Soviets. The Germans lost 80% of the ninth army in the battle, including 8 divisions that had ceased to exist entirely. Nobody learned more from German tactics, than the Russians.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
