module following the history of the
SS-Motorized
Regiment Leibstandarte continues with the unit taking part in the battles on

compatible with MMP's ASL System.
LSSAH 9 - FOREST THROUGH
THE TREES: The rapid advance of the German attack into western
Russia known as "Barbarossa" has brought them up to the Russian frontier
Defences known as the Stalin Line. At the tip of the armoured spearhead
was the
SS-Motorized
Regiment Leibstandarte, having mainly been
used for reconnaissance for the XXXXVIII Panzerkorps, it was
now forced to find a route through a heavily forested area.
LSSAH 10 - BAPTISM OF FIRE:
Army Group South continued its push southeast
relatively unopposed. The Russians, reeling back from the earlier
attacks, are now attempting to set up a string of defensive positions to
slow the Germans down long enough for their commanders to get
reorganized.
SS-Motorized
Regiment Leibstandarte,
supported by sturmgeschutze, launch an attack into one such
village and find that the talked about tired and demoralized Russian
Armies still had some fight left in them.
LSSAH 11 - SEA BATTLE: The Germans turn their
spearheads south towards the Black Sea to secure the ports of Nogay
Steppes. Moving down the west bank of the Dnieper River,
SS-Motorized
Regiment Leibstandarte,
tired and over-stretched was now task to clear the port of Cherson on
the right bank of the mighty river. With the support of the assault guns
and under the cover of the 21cm Mortar of the Army's Heavy Artillery
Battery, the SS-Grenadiers assault the heavily defended city as
the Red Marines attempt to make their escape by ship
LSSAH 12 - CONTACT: Having crossed the
mighty Dnieper,
SS-Motorized
Regiment Leibstandarte
had to split its forces, with half heading south towards the Crimea and
the other half in pursuit of the fleeing Russians westward up the
Dnieper peninsula. Standing in their way were Russian strong points,
anyone of which could slow the German advance and allow the Russians to
escape
LSSAH 13 - THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING!:
Continuing to struggle up the Dnieper peninsula,
SS-Motorized
Regiment Leibstandarte
secured its positions along the shores of the Black Sea so as to allow
reinforcements and supplies to reach the front of the spearhead. However
unexpectedly from the wind-swept sea came in speeding boats of the Black
Sea Fleet Marines.
LSSAH 14 - A BIRD IN THE HAND: The
German drive east for Don and the Russian City of Rostov has become an
obsession. Units bypassed Russian formations, while others unexpectedly
ran head long into them. Once such occurrence happened near the town of
Romanowka when the Headquarters of the Reconnaissance Battalion,
SS-Motorized
Regiment Leibstandarte
unexpectantly drove into the Russian Ninth Army Headquarters.
LSSAH 23 - SHOT OFF WITH TOO WEAK OF A BULLET: The
strain on the lead elements of Army Group South was beginning to show.
With ammunition, fuel and supplies all in short order the
SS-Grenadiers of LSS-Motorized
Regiment Leibstandarte
were forced to attack one more position before they could go on the
defensive
LSSAH 24 - A GRIM DAY AT KRASNY KRIM: With the
temperature dropping to minus 20 degrees Celsius the attack on Rostov
began. German forces leap frog forward with supporting artillery units
sometimes unknowingly bounding pass the front lines and finding itself
in more than it anticipated.
