    Historical Background
    The Battle for Rostov was a seesaw battle. Army Group South, with Ewald von Kleist's 1st Panzer Army in the vanguard, had taken the city
    by November 21st. But the German lines were over-extended and no longer in position to defend their gains.
    The Soviet commander, Marshall Timoshenko, launched his counteroffensive all along the German line with waves of Soviet Riflemen,
    supported by T-34 tanks. The Germans held for some time and even counter-attacked but in the end they were ordered back across the
    Mius River. This was the first significant German withdrawal of the war.
    The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
