The Battle of Bryansk (2–21 October 1941) was a twenty-day battle during World War II conducted in the Bryansk Oblast a part of the overall Moscow campaign. Returning from the Kiev operation, Heinz Guderian attacked in an unexpected direction capturing Bryansk and Oryol with few casualties thereby encircling two Soviet formations, the 13th Army and 3rd Army. A third Soviet formation, the 50th Army was encircled by infantry of the German 2nd Army north of Bryansk. However the encircled Red Army units continued fighting, delaying the drive on Moscow for two weeks. This delay, as well as the casualties taken by the Wehrmacht liquidating the pockets contributed to the German collapse at the gates of Moscow.

We are a Mechanized Company from the German 2nd Army. Our Company consists in 2 platoons, with 2 Squads each.We also have support from 2 tanks and 1 Losgistic Squad from the 2nd Panzer Army.

We are facing elements from the Soviet 3rd Army. They've set a in-depth defense, in order to protect the city of Bryansk. They have many AT guns and machine guns set all around the area. We also expect the presence of T-34-76's and possibly some armored ZIS trucks. Artillery elements are also expected.

It is October 21st, our main goal is to reach the city of Bryansk by the end of the day.

The weather is clear, climate conditions are appropriate and visibility is optimal.

Our Objectives are the following:

1 - Capture Outpost and the Village that serves as garrison next to it.
    
2 - Capture the Airport that is the last in-depth defense before the city of Bryansk.
    
3- Assault Bryansk, clear all buildings, and liberate it from Soviet presence, take defensive positions upon capturing it.
