Compra Graviteam Tactics: The Far Escape PC

German forces closed the encirclement around Soviet armies near Lokhvitsa and Lubny in September 1941, trapping the HQ of the Southwestern Front. Soviet Cavalry Mechanized Group under General Belov struck toward Romny with 2CC, tank brigades, and 100RD to aid the breakout, while 9CD targeted Sula River bridges. Facing them stood 10MID and SS "Das Reich" reinforcing the perimeter with motorized infantry regiments and engineering support. This turn-based strategy simulation spans 10 turns across a 40 sq. km map of plains, groves, ravines, a mountain with oil derricks, and small settlements. Players command historically accurate unit structures from both sides in this intense WWII tactical operation on PC. Hardcore strategy fans who relish detailed historical recreations will command these forces.

At September 14, 1941 German troops captured Lokhvitsa and Lubny. 9TD (1TA) approached to Lokhvitsa from the southeast, and 3TD (2TA) approached from the north. On September 15, the encirclement around the 5, 21, 26 and 37 Soviet armies of the SWF closed. The HQ of the SWF was also encircled. On the night of September 18, the Stavka allowed the 37A troops to leave Kiev. The order to encircled armies of the SWF to break through to the east, was given on the evening of September 17. 38 and 40As, which were outside the encirclement, were supposed to support the exit of the encircled troops of the SWF by attacking Romny and Lubny.
In the defense zone of the SWF, from the Southern Front, 2CC (5, 9CDs) was transferred, on the basis of which the Cavalry Mechanized Group (CMG) of General Belov was formed: 2CC, 1, 129TBdes and 100RD. The CMG units of Belov were tasked with delivering a strike in the direction of Romny, to assist the encircled troops of the SWF. To the south of CMG Belov, a group of 5CC and 110TBde operated, deployed from the 38A sector.
On September 19, 9CD (2CC) received an order to attack in the direction of Romny and capture the bridges across the Sula River. 129TBde was transferred to the front line immediately after its formation, so the personnel recruited from different units were not well-coordinated together. The brigade consisted of three tank and one motorized rifle battalions.
In order to prevent the encirclement from breaking through, its outer perimeter is reinforced by elements of German motorized divisions: 10MID and MID SS "Das Reich". 41MIR (10MID) moved behind 3TD, occupied a bridgehead on the Sula River east of Romny. The main forces of the 10MID are advancing on the crossings on the northern bank of the Sula River near Korovnitsy. MID SS "Das Reich", by forced march was transferred through Priluki to the area west of Romny. 41MIR passes into its subordination. The engineering battalion SS "Das Reich" ensures the division's crossings across the Sula River. The division was ordered to advance in the general direction towards Korovnitsy with the support of 3 battalions from AR SS.
