As the German 6th Army, trapped in Stalingrad, approached
capitulation  the
Soviets attempted to exploit their success against the 3rd
Rumanian Army by
driving on Rostov in a bid to cut-off communications between
4th Panzer Ar-
my and Army Group A in the Caucasus. The 3rd Rumanian, and 4th
Panzer
boldly held against repeated attacks in this sector and
prevented the Soviets
from liberating Rostov.

(NOTE: This variant gives the Soviets improved KV-1C heavy
tanks).
