Scenario RtBr068

The Germans have two possible approaches to victory in this scenario. Run like heck or shoot it out. By playing the way I did I can say without fear of providing incorrect information that "run like heck" doesn't work. If the Soviet player is halfway decent they will have sufficent force south of town to attack moving SK7s or trucks with +6 AT rolls at a minimum with opportunity fire. This is generally not survivable.

Therefore only pursue a southern exit strategy if your opponent has decided to brin all of their forces on board north of the larger town. Otherwise you will be forced to fight it out where you are and hope for the 4 step losses to occur to the Soviets.

I give this one a "3" since there are different approaches for both sides. It is worth playing again to see if a more contentious German strategy would be successful.

Please note that the setup conditions are very important. If you usually set up your transport with your guns you will note that the German Transport is off board at the beginning of the game to the German is faced with an immeidate decisions that can affect the entire path of the game. Should he/she pursuea run or fight strategy.
