Scenario FrRu020

Large 9 map scenario featuring elements of four different German formations, the best and smallest being a battalion from the 2nd Fallschimjager Regiment. VCs for both sides are for control of town hexes on maps 1, 4 & 5 and for hill hexes east 0f the railway embankment (river), which are on maps 4 & 5, so you can see where the Soviets concentrated their defenses drawing the Germans to those maps like flies on stink.

The two main German forces were able to overwhelm the Soviet defenders on map 5, clearing them from the town and hills with minimal casualties but then the Soviet artillery began to cause some disruptions and demoralizations on the Germans advancing towards the second Soviet positions on map 4. Luckily for the Germans the OBA did not phase the Falschimjagers as they closed with the Soviets in the town then the hill.

A late Soviet counterattack fell on the left flank of the Germans advance and come close to recapturing the town and hills on map 5 but the flanking force ran into German reserves which included a company of Panzers. Close win for the Germans, the Falschimjagers helped carried the day.
