              to:
                 company commander,
               Colonel Wolfgang Maucke


                       As head of Kampfgruppe Maucke you are part of a massive
 encirclment aimed at crushing the Soviet capital and forcing the war on the 
eastern front to end.We will be assisted by Army Groupe's North and South which will cover our flanks as well as help the assualt. 


                        Your mission is to assualt the outer parimater of the 
  southwest corner of Moscow.Capturing the main roads and the highground will
 allow us to prepare for any counterattacks launched by the Russians while the
  infantry and seige equipment are brought in.
    
   You must also launch a suprise attack on General Andrei Vlasov's Twentieth 
 Army headquarters with the specialy trained commandos the Gustapo sent you.
 If your are able to capture Gen Andrei for the Gustapo,Hitler will look 
 favorably towards our Army Groupe.
                             
                      Recon flights show you will encounter some armor as well 
 as mines and bunkers.You will be given extra enginers and do to the weather
 no air support will be avalable today.
                         
                   Once you have overrun these objectives you may attack
 the crossroads inside Moscow to prevent any easy organization or movement
  by the enemy.
           This is our final chance before the dreadful winter sets in and
 causes the supply lines to freeze over and come to a hualt.Which would cause
 our offensive to slow drasticly until next summer.
                        
                          Do not fail.
                   
                   Head of Army Groupe Centre,

                    Field Marshal von Bock
