Despite the severe losses of the previous two weeks, the Red Army’s South-West Front continued to try to build new defensive lines to delay the Germans before they reached the old Polish-Soviet border. The Seret River had been the site of intense fighting during the Great War, and the Soviet Eighth Rifle Corps hoped to at least hold the Germans there. Behind the river lay Terebovlya, a pre-war Polish garrison town and the site of heroic Polish resistance to Turkish invasion in 1675.

The Germans forced their way over the Seret here, even as the Soviet South-West Front committed its dwindling armor reserves to the north at Tarnopol in an ill-advised attempt (orchestrated from Moscow) to turn back the invaders. The panzers grabbed the headlines, but the coordinated artillery and air support at Terebovlya as elsewhere truly made the difference.

Gebirgsjäger leaders in 49th Mountain Corps, which are taken from Parachutes Over Crete, use conventional named ranks. The library was setup using German rank references.

Players not owning Parachutes Over Crete may substitute counters from Edelweiss, Edelweiss Expanded or Edelweiss IV. Players using Edelweiss counters should download the Gebirgs leaders from Avalanche Press. Edelweiss IV is available through the Gold Club portal.
