Introduction |
---|
After spending several weeks absorbing reinforcements in the rear areas, the Slovak Mobile Brigade finally was attached to the German 49th Mountain Corps and ordered into action. The German corps command sent the brigade to the town of Lipovec to block the retreat routes of Soviet units coming from the north. The town was believed to be Soviet-occupied, and the Slovaks were to eject the defenders and hold the position. |
Conclusion |
---|
Despite the help of tank support, the Slovaks had trouble fighting their way through the first Soviet lines. The “brigade” was very small and lacked sufficient infantry for the task, and when Pilfousek sent tanks forward without infantry support several were shot up by Soviet anti-tank guns. By late afternoon the Slovaks reached the edge of Lipovec, only to be thrown back later. Their colonel ordered the tanks to pull back and refuel, and had not issued any further orders when the Soviets took the decision out of his hands. |
Additional Notes |
---|
There are no actual truck counters in the Slovakian army counter mix. Use trucks from which ever Axis counter set that may be convenient. |

Even though the Soviets are strung out on each map board, they were able to hold off the Slovak forces. Towns are a big part of the VCs but there is only one town hex out of the four maps. |
