Scenario RtBr016

This scenario is a contested river crossing at night with T34/85s, Panthers and Russian Guards units. Sounds exciting, but its not. Both sides race for the bridge unhindered by fire as there is only one hex range to LOS. Whoever wins the second initiative will get to there first and if that is the Germans then the Soviet forces will struggle to win this game. If its the T34's then the Germans will struggle to win. In my FtF game the Red Army got to the bridge, the Germans counterattacked and although cleared the hex adjacent to the bridge suffered some losses, the Soviets in turn tried to move over the icy river with inf and HMG units and also suffered losses. Both sides then dug in, the Soviets to wait for 27 turns for their reinforcements the Germans to wait for the onslaught. We both looked at each other after about 5 turns and agreed that this was a boring way to spend a couple of hours and called it a draw. I note Vince has given this a 1, I give it a 2 rating because there may be some game play we both missed.
