Scenario PzLi002

Germans set up with all their units in town hexes. An HMG and the 20mm AA gun protected the small northern one hex town while the balance of their forces were spread out in the large town. The 75mm AT gun set up hidden (per a house rule) and the 81mm mortar unit was set up to be able to provide support for the large town as well as the small northern village. The Soviets advanced with their Guards units (SMGs riding on the T-34's) heading straight for the large town while the balance of the Soviet forces swept down toward the one hex village. The Guards infantry unloaded from the tanks which moved adjacent to the large town in an effort to soften it up a bit before the infantry approached. Meanwhile the regular infantry tried to assault the one hex town but were summarily thrown out. The Guards tanks had no luck reducing the town so the infantry moved closer. The regular infantry decided to bypass the small town and try attacking the large town as well. The Germans had some very good leaders positioned in the center of town though, and they aided almost every German unit. By turn 7 the Soviets had made little progress and when the German armor arrived it really tipped the balance in their favor. The big tanks began eliminating each other, which closed the door on any potential Soviet chance for success. In the end the German higher morale and initiative were just too much to overcome and the Soviet piecemeal attack resulted in too many casualties. All in all not a bad scenario, but one that needs a very good Soviet commender to have any chance for success.
