I have been wanting to play one scenario on the day that it occurred. This one fit the bill. Short small amount of counters, something to finish in an evening. Unfortunately, it finished much sooner. This scenario is purely historical, balance is very lopsided for Germans. I was even able to get the 10-2-2 German Lt into the battle.

All the factors favor the Germans, OBA, HMGs, setup, morale and victory conditions. The Soviets only chance is to try to run past the German fire. But it did not work. Germans OBA signaled the demise of the Soviet cavalry. Demoralizing the first units it hit and continuing unit the units were reduced and demoralized. But the Soviets keep coming. German Op fire hit the Soviets and disrupted and demoralized the charging cavalry. By turn six half the Soviet cavalry was demoralized or reduced and once the T-60's were in range of the AT guns they were quickly reduced. Dice rolls were also in the Germans favor.

A couple more turns and that was enough for the Soviets, Germans score a major victory. I knew this one was unbalanced and is not fun as a game, but it can show historically how useless cavalry was in a cavalry charge and why they would be relegated to recon and partisan activities.
