Scenario EdIV015

Soviets set up dug-in in a north-south line roughly six hexes west of the river. The Germans advanced to the east in a north-south line, but then turned north to use the large area of broken rock to slow any Soviet reinforcement attempts. Once the Germans had gotten close enough, accurate shooting by the German OBA knocked out the Soviet 76mm artillery. The Finns on the German left flank advanced on the dug-in Soviets and were able to eliminate a number of platoons. As the game progressed the Germans eliminated the northern opposition and were able to turn south. The remainder of the battle then centered in the large broken rock area, where the two sides whittled each other down. In the end the Soviets had no answer for the brave Finns or the numerous German leaders who were able to impact almost every battle and morale check. as the game concluded the Germans had eliminated almost all of the Soviet opposition. The only remaining intact units were a single infantry platoon and the two mortar platoons. A major German victory. I call it a balanced scenario though because if the Soviets hadn't lost their 76mm arty and had been able to secure some more German losses during their advance, the initial German attack might have stalled. All in all, a fun scenario.
