...they give me a train. A train? The train looks great on paper. It can reaction fire, then it can move; it can move then fire. But it is limited to the tracks. And those tracks are awfully close to where the Germans start off...

Needless to say, I think I bungled this game regardless of whether the Germans pulled off any brilliant tactical coup or not.

I thought my defenses were sound, most of the men set up on the tracks, a few in the woods to guard the mortars. But the train was too far back to stop the SPW's and they got into the woods to the north. the Russians got lucky with a few assault rolls in the woods- as in they weren't destroyed completely and managed to cause a casualty along the way- but the Germans weren't going to be stopped. When the train was knocked out in the 12th turn, Panfilov threw up his hands in disgust and said, "I quit."

The Kommisar then rushed over and shot Panfilov for his defeatist attitude.

I totally agree - when all things go sour I would like to throw my hands up and quit also. Unfortunatley for me - my commisar is also the MRS.....

There are punishments far more severe than lead poisoning.
