Schwerpunkt Games WW2E Scenario 159. To the Don/Herkules.

[5th Horseman]

In the summer of 1942, the German and Italian militaries prepared to invade Malta.  Operation Herkules, the air and naval landings on Malta didn't occur, however, the Air Landing Corps was created using the 7th Flieger, 80th LaSpezia and 185th Folgore airborne divisions and a Corps HQ under General Student.

What if that airborne corps was available in southern Russia instead.



This is a war of supply.  And several options become apparent.  Half of the Red Army can be out of supply on turn 2 with the capture of three key cities.



I also tinkered with the unit colors and Order of Battle slightly.
