Scenario RtBr068

I liked this scenario. There were several moments where I really had to sit and figure out my next move for a minute or two.

In response to Mr. Townsend's criticism, my reading of the set up conditions are that the prime movers have to move in from the north along with everything else.

I initially planned on trying to sneak out the southern edge. However, Soviet tanks moved into positions where they were hidden yet commanded large fields of fire. Some "reconnaissance by fire" by one of the panzergrenadier units revealed the closest tank hidden in some trees which was taken out by a lucky artillery hit, at the cost of the grenadiers.

At this point there were a few turns where it was pretty much a stalemate. The soviets already had 3 step losses and so decided to try and storm the large town where the 105s were deployed, just to see what would happen. The remaining grenadier stand ended up destroying two T-34s with panzerfausts and assaults while a single reduced T-34 held up the artillery for several hours. Neither the reduced tank nor the guns could really hurt each other, and stacking limits prevented the grenadiers from helping. This coupled with some poor rolls meant that the game ended with the Germans fairly intact and the Soviets reduced to two, half strength units.
