Short AAR for a very straight-forward and perhaps beginners scenario.

A battalion from the 221st advanced forwards, supported by a platoon of heavy machine-guns against he flank of the Soviet infantry of the 13th Rifle Division that were positioned in a heavily wooded area. Withstanding the light artillery bombardments thrown at them, the German security troops were able to deploy, after an hours advance, in a strong fire-line against their enemy. Soon after opening up against the Russians, casualties were inflicted upon them and whipped the Soviets into forming for a counter-attack. A company from the 13th Rifle Division made a frontal assault against the HMG platoon, and suffering 75 casualties, were thrown back in disorder.

This did not deter the Russians, they formed again and steadied their lines. This proved useful, as the euphoric German commander pushed forward elements of infantry against what he thought was a demoralised foe and instantly received a rebuff as the Soviet infantry cut down the Germans in short order. Unfortunately for the Russians, this had come near the end of the encounter, and as the Germans drifted away from the area, the Soviets would count 150 of their own men as casualties. The Germans lost about half this number and could count themselves the victors in this low level skirmish.
