Background
----------

        The 5th SS Panzer Division ("Wiking") fielded a sizable number of 
foreign volunteers from the nordic countries. The scenario is loosely 
based on the historical events surrounding the colossal struggle between 
the Soviet Union and the Third Reich towards the end of WWII. In the fall 
of 1944, Poland had become a nightmarish cauldron where many german units 
repeatedly found themselves cut off and virtually surrounded by 
numerically superior soviet forces pushing hard......The author 
hypothesizes a desperate but determined "SS Wiking" thrust towards the 
north-west in an attempt to re-establish contact with vital supply routes 
and depots ! Can the soviet forces effectively stand in the way ?

        The use of the swedish flag in this scenario signifies the desire 
of the scandinavian volunteers to see their mother countries willfully 
joining forces with the Third Reich against the Soviets. Without a shadow 
of a doubt, such volunteers must have viewed themselves as some kind of 
scandinavian vanguard.....

Victory Conditions
------------------

        Barring an EARLY victory, the Wing side wins ONLY if it owns
PULAWY OR, ALTERNATIVELY, ALL objective hexes OTHER than Pulawy, at the
end of the scenario.

Technical Setup
---------------

        It is recommended that this scenario be played from the "WARSAW"
slot (# 02) in Panzer General (DOS), floppy disk version 1.2.
