		Nevertheless, the encirclement of Velikiye Luki bore a strong resemblance to the well-known Nazi debacle that was unfolding at the same time at Stalingrad.
		All that remained in the area was the 83rd Infantry Division screening Velikiye Luki in the center and the 3rd Gebirgsjäger (mountain troop) Division slightly to the south.
		The Soviet offensive began on November 24, with strong forces moving on Velikiye Luki from north and south, bypassing the screen of fortified positions in a semicircular arc east of the city.

	e-Kiro, the electronic crossroads—wargames
		Velikiye Luki is a special case: initially the town is held by static garrison units, very strong but unable to abandon the town until permission is secured from Hitler.
		And an even larger haul is to be had by cutting the railway line that parallels the German home map edge, but this is something that is unlikely to happen for longer than a turn or two, as the result of a spoiler raid.
		The arithmetic of the victory conditions means that simply pocketing the town, even for the whole game, won’t be enough—at some point the Russians will have to bite the bullet and fight their way into the town, or make an effort to push forward and cut the railway.

		Siege, as the subtitle suggests, is set on the Eastern Front in 1942 where the Germans and Russians were locked in the bloodiest and most destructive war in the history of mankind.
		The siege referred to in the title is actually two sieges involving the cities of Cholm and Velikiye Luki, battles that would be monumental by most standards, but which are largely forgotten in the context of the greater slaughter on the Eastern Front.
		Six months later, the nearby city of Velikiye Luki was besieged by the Russians, with Scherer again in overall command.

		Six months later, Scherer found himself frustrated by another siege, in nearby Velikiye Luki, but this time he was on the outside, separated from the remainder of his forces.
		Some reviewers have commented on the occasionally clumsy prose in the book, but to my mind it adds to the authenticity and was purposely intended as such.
		To illustrate my point - read passages that take place during the events at either Cholm or Velikiye Luki, describing the thoughts and actions and condition of the enlisted men who form the backbone of the story, and you'll see repetition, and a grunting, blunt, almost exhausted prose, just like the men themselves would've felt.
