Scenario ReWa011

This interestng little scenario has a group of Russian Guard cav attacking just about equal German infantry force with a 37mm AT gun and a 20mm AA gun defending a town on board 3. Deep snow slows down all offroad movement, and there is a chance for both sides to get reinforcements during the game from a list of options, but must roll a 6 when the time comes to try to get them. Germans are allowed 2 dug in stacks to start but I opted for all but the 20mm AA and an infantry to start on the south side of town and that 20mm and infantry in the woods nearby. Russians have to enter from the south edge east of the north-south road but can get access to it quickly and can be ready to charge the town on turn 2. During this game the Germans ran with the luck. Russians got the initiative much of the time, even having 3 actions to start several, but it was the Germans who got the first and only reinforcements, and that happened on turn 4, at which point the Russians had taken enough casualties to start the mandatory withdrawal, giving them just 5 turns to get everyone off the board to the south. The units that actually made it off were the demoralized cav and leaders who fled and just kept going. All good order units and leaders who had attempted to assault the town died to a man by the end of turnh 9, the last turn allowed after the withdrawal. Germans lost 2 steps, Russians 15 steps and leaders for a big German win.
