Ost Front Pack #2

6 Scenarios for Advanced Squad Leader depicting the Soviet's drive for Minsk during Operation Bagration, the last week of June 1944.

The Germans have deployed the 5th Panzer Division to Minsk, hoping to keep the escape routes open in the face of the onslaught of Red Army juggernaut. The Soviet armoured forces have burst through the German Army Group Centre's defensive front and are streaming westwards. The 5th Panzer Division, a formidable unit with near 300 tanks, and reinforced with Tiger Is of Schewere Panzer Abteilung 505, must fight to keep the roads and rail lines open, allowing for the remnants of the German 4th Army to escape.
