This is a small campaign that is three scenarios long. It is based on the battles, which took place in January 1943 around one of the key points of German line along the Neva River -Leningrad region. The town of Gorodok and its hospital, is the focus of this campaign and depicts Lt. Winackers B Company, 240th Btn, 170 ID valiant stand there. It will require the human player to fight defensively*
*
On 12 of January 1943, Soviets launched an offensive to cut the German bottleneck blocking Leningrad from the south. After a tremendous artillery barrage, two Russian Armies attacked. The 2nd Assault Army from the east with 7 Infantry Divisions and 1 armored Brigade along a front 13 kilometers wide, while from the west the 67th Army with 5 Infantry divisions and 1 Armored Brigade focused its efforts on the sector between towns of Marino and Gorodok.*
*
The points you'll receive at the beginning of campaign are exactly enough to buy 1 Engineer Company with MG34. It is recommended that you purchase one Engineer Company for this game as this campaign has been designed and tested with this core force in mind. A different choice for a Core force could lead to unpredictable developments during the battles and unknown campaign results that will effect playbalance.*
*
Given the defensive nature of the battles, it is Highly recommended to play with OpFire preference turned ON or if you like Op Fire OFF - please set German Unit weapon ranges to fire from 3 to 4 hexes. Consider, too, that the designer and testers have tested and adjusted the battles with the preferences set this way.*

Description: January 12, 1943*
*
Tenent Winaker, our scouts have discovered signs of the Russians having been on our side of the river tonight and tried to clear paths in our minefields.*
*
This can mean only one thing: they will cross the river and they will do it today! Therefore, Tenent, take your company and deploy it along the river, so to fill the gap between the adjacent units.*
*
Our defensive line is stretched at the limit and there are no reserves available at the moment. Should you abandon the high riverbank, there will be no way for us to take it back: retreat is not an option!* 
*
Our strength is lying in our improved and concealed positions: don't give them away too early. Hold you breath and aim well, wait as much as you can to open fire.*
