(4) Battle for Voronezh

The (4) Battle for Voronezh map is adopted for multiplayer official Relic's scenario from Case Blue DLC pack. It has 10 territory points, 2 fuel, 2 ammunition and 4 victory points. There is also capturable repair station in the middle of the map on soviet side of river. 4 victory points give control of main roads and hard to capture, because of lack of good covers around them. Recommended to play as Ostheer or OKW on 1st and 2nd positions and as Soviets on 3rd and 4th starting positions. Map relief dont allow to balance it for fair PvP battle, so it is recommended only for PvE matches.

The armored units of the 4th Panzer Army partly captured Voronezh on 6 July by occupying the western river-bank suburbs, however German troops were subjected to a Red Army counter-attack. The 4th Panzer Army was to be followed by the Sixth Army, and when Voronezh was occupied the former was to wheel south-eastward and move down the right bank of the Don towards Stalingrad as part of Operation Blau.It took two days for infantry divisions from the Army Group South to reach Voronezh to hold the line and free the Panzer troops. Adolf Hitler later came to believe that these two days, when combined with other avoidable delays on the drive south, allowed Marshal Semyon Timoshenko to
reinforce the forces in Stalingrad before the 4th Panzer Army could arrive to allow taking of Stalingrad.
