| Introduction |
|---|
|
Both the German Tenth Army and Russian Tenth Army stationed their cavalry on the northern end of their line to guard their open flank. On the morning of 8 February, Evgeny A. Leontovich, commanding the Russian cavalry, ordered them forward to probe the German flank. The Germans had attacked the Tenth Army’s southern flank; were they planning to do the same here? Yes, they were. |
| Conclusion |
|---|
|
The Russian advance met German cavalry advancing toward them, resulting in a confused meeting engagement. German-language accounts don’t mention this fight; neither side pressed their advance and the Russians returned to their lines alerted to German activity. But they had no idea of the scale of the German onslaught to come. |
| Additional Notes |
|---|
|
Counters and maps from the first edition of August 1914 will work in place of those components of the second edition. Maps from Eastern Front Deluxe or Panzer Grenadier: The East front may be used in place of those from Fire in the Steppe. The German Oberleutnant should be a Leutnant. The Hauptmann should be Rittmeisters. |
