Scenario SiFo034

In this scenario, entrenched Norwegian SS "volunteers" have hidden themselves and the Soviets have to find them and cause soem losses. This is a tough job as the Soviets do not have a morale advantage and they are, unit for unit, undergunned. In addition, with only 16 turns and two entire boards to check out (one heavily wooded) the Soviets cannot conduct their search in a calm, dispassionate manner with their heavy weapons close by to deal with the SS when they find them. They must rush willy-nilly around the board, running into entrenched or dug in "Germans" and absorb heavy fire from them.

Predictably, the "Germans" won this one. I can't say that it was enjoyable and I would not suggest this one to anyone for the fun of it. Stumbling into hidden fire groups which will shred your troops with opportunity fire while you have no ability to really fight back is just not a pleasant day. As a study in hasty recon this one has value. As a competitive scenario, not so much.
