ASL Scenario AP41

Lutsk, Russia, 25 June 1941: In  the  opening  days  of  Germany's  invasion  of
the Soviet Union, the triangluar area bounded by the cities of Lutsk, Rovno, and
Brody was  the scene of a  bitter struggle. Army High command plans called for a 
rapid  thrust to the  Ukrainian capital of Kiev, after which German forces would
swing  southwards and  trap the  bulk of the  forces  of the  Southwestern Front.
With  the  terrain  dominated  by forests, hills  and swamps, the  important road
nexus of  Lutsk became a prime objective. General Kirpinos, the  Southwwest Front
commander, was  ordered to  counterattack  immediately, but  was  hampered by the
Luftwaffe, as well as the poor mechanical condition of his vehicles. Nonetheless,
by the 25th  he would need  to go with  what he had as the Germans attacked Lutsk
at dawn.
