Scenario PGdm002

This was a 4-session play-through with my deadliest opponent -- the Treadasuarus himself -- leading what looked to be an easy to overwhelm Russian scratch force advancing against my defending Germans. It ended up in a well-deserved victory for the Soviets in this unbalanced, shorter scenario. The Germans looked helpless and their leader draw and die rolling in both attacks and morale recoveries was awful throughout this 13-turn disaster. Both Axis tanks platoons were eliminated by close assaults and some amazingly accurate Bolshevik AT fire.

The Russians managed a series of aggressive urban attacks with low morale troops over and over again. I was not able to disrupted their attack sequencing and my initial setup proved very faulty. I did get the reinforcements on time, onely to have then shot to pieces in the next 3 turns. I give this one a rating of 2, and suggest that it is best played as a solitaire effort, rather than as a shared play-through.
