Both sides rushed to the middle of the board to start the game. The Germans dug-in, forcing the Russians to battle them with their artillery, rather than their infantry. The Germans took heavy casualties early, but by turn 8, they had almost taken out half of the Russians. The Russians rallied, and they took out both HMG platoons, wiping out the Germans heavy firepower. Just the next turn, the Germans charged the Russians in the south and defeated them. The Soviets lost all of their forces there, and the Germans eventually drove them back until there were none left. Overall, this was a fun and fast scenario that does not get bogged down in the minutia of different unit types in the same hex.
