GERMAN HQ, 0430 20 July 42:* Achtung! Gentlemen, the kampfgruppe commander!* "Be seated, Gentlemen." "I trust all preparations have been made? Every detail attended to? Excellent". ** "Gentlemen, intelligence has informed me that the enemy we are about to meet has been recently designated "Guards" units." "Guards, indeed!" "Well, we shall see what they guard in an hour or so." (nervous laughter from the assembled officers of the kampfgruppe) ** "Guards?, I think not. "Kinderschreck" (In English, something to scare children) is a more apt description. This operation is to be renamed! It is now 'Operation Kinderschreck'!" (More nervous laughter as the officers wonder if they share their commander's disdain for the enemy) ** "Now to the details. Gentlemen, we shall not permit or tolerate failure. East! Drive East! Ever Eastward. If opportunity appears, take it. Show initiative. Any Bolshevik who survives this morning will be fortunate, indeed. Destroy every unit, every tank. Drive Eastward." ** "Go visit every soldier of every squad, every tank before we march". "Convey my confidence in them. I know they will do their duty just as they have always done". ** "Dismissed". Transcript of Soviet (Human Player) staff meeting will follow.
