Play recommendations
This is a large map with a lot of units. Also by the middle of the battle there will be a lot of burning fields and buildings producing smoke graphics. This will all slow down turn times. Using a P4 1GB PC turn computing times were around, by the end of the game, 2 3 minutes. If using a slower machine this will be longer.
Play as Germans Vs Soviet AI (give the AI a +2 combat experience bonus and stick to scenario default). If playing H2H more experienced player should take the Germans.

To help you assess the terrain and keep track of the action this scenario has a topographical map associated with it. It is enclosed in the Panzerkeil Am Mius zip file.
