Ok this is a very small armor vs. armor scenario with Soviet JS4s vs. American M4/76s & M18s. It started badly for the Americans as the Soviets won the first activation having a higher initiative to begin with, so they moved the three platoons of JS4s into town covering the Americans entry on the south edge of the map but also increasing their defensive armor value from 8 to 9 by being in town hexes. The only thing the American weak M4s and M18s armor could do was try for crossfire bonus shots, adjacent shots and assault combat. The American armor was turned into scrap metal, all 9 platoons of it, the best they could do against the heavy Soviet beast was a disruption in assault combat. If they could have rolled better dice in those assaults they may have been able to eliminate a few steps but today the dice didn’t help them at all. This was a clear hands-down, Major Soviet Victory! I could have used the help of a few Pershing tanks in this one!
