"Securing the bridgehead"*
1st August, 1944*
1st Ukrainian Front*
Sandomierz Bridgehead*
*
*
We have successfully conquered a bridgehead over the Vistula: Now it is time to expand it. Yesterday we reached the town of Staszow, which will be our main center of resistance against the expected German counter attacks. It is getting late, but there is still some time to advance to the west and gain advantageous positions for the coming fight. Already resistance is stiffening, but we are tasked to race ahead of our infantry and secure advanced positions, which will constitute our future frontline.

*
Intelligence: Weak German infantry and scout forces are in the area. Note that it is late in the day, so visibility is low.
*
*
Objectives: Investigate the estate and the village of Ogledow. Secure the indicated line of resistance.*
