My local wargaming opponent and I played this one. The Soviets set up as far back as possible and made me (as the Germans) come to them. The special rule for mud made the going slow to say the least. I advanced slowly (not by choice mind you) toward the town but because of the distance I needed to travel before getting there it was many turns before we came close to combat, much less try to take a well defended town. In the end it appeared there just wasn't sufficient time for the Germans to accomplish their goal and the Soviets had a relatively easy win.
