Background
----------
After winter Leningrad offensive, the russian army encircled about 100.000 germans soldiers in two pocket: Demjansk (about 96.000 soldiers) and Kholm (about 5.000 soldiers). After a great air bridge supplies operation "built" by Luftwaffe, on 21th March the OKW mount a rescue operation code named: "Bruckenschlag". This heavy attack must do a breakthrough across russian lines and join the encircled garrisons (Hitler forbidden every retreat). After about 40 days of bitter fighting Demjansk (on 1st May) and Kholm (on 5th) were reach by the rescuers.


Victory Conditions
------------------
Only for Human German Player

German side: 	to hold Staraja Russa, Ramoujevo, Lyohkovo, Demjansk 		and Kholm objectives.

Russian side:	Others conditions.


Remarks
------------------
German player cannot buy new units inside the pockets (only remplacements are permitted) and can help the surrounding troops only by air (germans have 5 air transport).

In this scenario I try to employ Minefield. Minefields have the same characteristic for Axis and Allied. It is possible to attack an adversary in the adjacent hex (this is a limit of PG panzequp file !) but we can imagine that the minefield is large as the hexs around the icon.
