At September 14, 1941 German troops captured Lokhvitsa and Lubny. 9TD (1TA) approached to Lokhvitsa from the southeast, and 3TD (2TA) approached from the north.

- Update 03/10/2024 - 10 March 2024
The game is moving to an updated operational phase system. 1x1 km cells will become a thing of the past, the seizure of territory will proceed node by node, with all the ensuing changes in the operational and tactical phases of the game. Such a significant change will result in the disappearance of signs of entrenchment, and other less significant changes in active operations. The principle of troop deployment before battle will also change; the areas in which deployment is available will be reduced and tied to the location of the battle group on the operational map. The algorithm for accounting for the level of fire has also been adjusted, various small changes have been made to various aspects of the game and the display of special effects.
