Played this scenario commanding the godless Soviet hordes against my patient and intuitive mentor. Casualties were relatively low for both sides. The Soviets lost 6 steps destroyed and the Germans lost a mere 4 steps. However, Soviet losses included a platoon of BT-7 tanks, a 45mm AT gun Platoon and a hard-fighting AT Rifle platoon in just over 4 turns. German losses were confined to SPW251 halftracks and 2 steps of Pz38T units. In addition a demoralized half strength platoon of German Pz 38T Tanks and a full-strength, demoralized Russian Cavalry platoon fled from the battle off the west edge of map 5. The Germans mounted a strong left flank attack that resulted in the capture of one of the Soviet entrenchments, and were well on their way to completing their other objectives when time ran out. We declared the game a draw since the luckless Soviets barely managed to hold their initial positions on the hill. Finally, the Soviet Kommissar was decorated for valor and his single-handed rallying of 3 demoralized Russian units in the course of this battle.
