After receiving new equipment, 2nd Panzer was sent to Russia in September and participated in the drive on Moscow. The hard pressed Soviets committed newly formed units to slow down the Panzers and gain needed time to organize a defense of Moscow.
Objectives: Your company will blunt the enemy thrust to the northeast. Your platoon will move to engage the enemy to your front. If the T-34 41 is encountered, remember that only a side shot at 300 meters or less has a chance of penetrating its armor. Support will be available in the form of two Sturmgeschutz sections, one on each flank. Weather allowing, air support should be present.
