Scenario Author: MagyarCrusader (Michael Jeszenka)
<img src="http://www.civfanatics.com/images/civ2scen/finaldays_map.jpg" border=1>
Date: June 1942 - December 1945
Who: Field Marshal Enrich von Manstein, Commander of Army Group South
Where: The Ukraine, Cacasus, and Balkans
Primary Objectives:

Secondary Objectives:
To ensure that oil fields around Lake Balaton, and that the Hungarian capital remain in German hands.

Briefing:
You, Field Marshal, have been chosen to lead the German armies to ultimate victory over our eternal enemies. By taking the oil fields in the Cacasus mountains, we ensure a supply of fuel that will not only provide us with the ability to fight on until the last day of the war, we deprive Russia's mechanized divisions of its vital lifeforce. In addition, you must smash the Reds at Stalingrad, a city that churns out roughly 1/4th of the enemy's vehicles. When we control the Volga, we have a strong defensive line to protect against any massive Communist assault. In addition, the factories in the Ural mountains will finally be within range of the Luftwaffe that may blast them to rubble. Once your primary objectives are met it will only be a matter of time before Leningrad and Moscow fall.

If the unthinkable should happen and you are unable to immediately complete your primary objectives, there is still hope. You will co-lead another summer offensive, code named operation "Zitadelle" (Citadel). You will strike at the Voronezh Front positioned inside the Kursk salient from our southern positions at Belgorod. The Communist forces inside will be crushed, leaving the rest of Russia relatively defenseless.
However, if fortune does not smile upon the Reich we will have 1 last card to play. Operation "Watch on the Rhine" will be launched against our Western enemies. You must hold on to our last oil fields with minimal reserves. The longer you hold out, the more troops we may use in the assault, thereby increasing our chances of success. This will buy us time to complete the developement of our super weapons, which no nation will have a chance to stand up against.

You will have at your disposal Germany's latest in military technology, including the strongest variants of the Mark IV, Panther, and Tiger tanks. Our Italian, Hungarian and Romanian allies have entrusted you with the command of their armies as well. But beware, our enemies are aggressive and fanatical. They will prove a difficult challenge to overcome, but I'm sure you can do it. Good luck Field Marshal!
Estimated Date of Scenario Release: December 2001
