Large Soviet forces have to push down 2 map boards along a single road and exit 30 steps against entrenched German INF with support from 88's and other ATG's. There is deep snow in effect which reduces off road movement. The Soviet's have plenty of forces to do the job they lack time and the single road with woods both sides on board 6 hinders movement. The first few turns saw a wave of Soviet forces enter and take the first German entrenchment easily but after that it turned into very slow advance as the Germans carried out a well ordered fighting withdrawal. The Germans had set up in three lines of defense, one line out on board 6 to delay an disrupt the initial Red Army advance, one line around the central town and the road as it swings to the east and a final backstop line at south end of board 15. This all worked well and by turn 20 the Soviets had just managed to reach the second line of defense this had now been weakened as German units pulled back to avoid casualties and to reinforce the final line. It was obvious that the Ruskies were not going to get enough if any troops off and the Germans now could trade space for time and gain a major victory. The VC give the German player 30 VPs if the Soviets do not exit 30 steps or more other VP are for town,entrenchments and road hexes held at the end of play plus the normal step VPs. This make it simple of the Soviet player in many ways clear the road exit your steps this in turn makes setting up the defense a little easier for the German player. This is an excellent scenario, is big with units but played only on two boards makes it small on space. I played this one solo and although it was an easy German win I think ii could go any way depending on German set up and luck. I want to play this one again at some stage and I would even take the Soviet side by choice. All in all well recommended.
