Overview:
The Soviet Union first deployed the highly secret Katyusha rockets against the German forces advancing on Moscow, along the Smolensk/Moscow highway. While the rockets were very effective, alone they could not stop the German blitzkrieg. The 42nd Separate Guards Mortar Battalion found itself encircled with over 600,000 Red Army troops. As the noose tightened, the rocketeers of the 42nd started to take casualties in the close quarter fighting that developed. Guards Captain Flerov ordered the men of his battery to attempt to breakout. As they approached the German lines through the woods they surprised a panzer column from the 7th Panzer Division. The rocketeers launched a final salvo at point blank range at the approaching tanks. They then destroyed their launchers and ammo vehicles and attempted to escape on foot. Mortally wounded battling the panzers Captain Flerov did not survive his batteries final battle, and only 42 made it to friendly lines.Attacker: Russian (42nd Separate Guards Mortar Battalion)

Errata (source)
| SSR#4 correction: German OB instructions state: Elements of the 7th Panzer Division [ELR: 4] enter on Turn 1 along the north edge with all Infantry as PRC: {SAN: 2}. They are correct, the "board 33" mention should be removed, and they enter, where stated, as a Convoy along any north edge road. | CH |
| SSR#4 further clarified: The German OB must enter as a Convoy and move at 8 hexes per turn along a north edge road and remain in motion; it may not Disband until any AFV has LOS to a known Soviet unit or automatically on Turn 3. | CH |
