Scenario RtBr021

This battle was played Ftf over three sessions. The scenario at first galnce appears to be a meting engagement between Soviet Guards units and a mixed force of German and Hungarien troops. In fact a quick glance at the maps,VC and OOBs will soon indicate that the Axis forces will be on the defensive fairly quickly. The Soviet decided to launch a major assault aginst one of the two towns in the Axis front lines after winning the early tank duel and this worked reasonably well at first. Having destroyed a Panther and Hezter platoon with liitle loss the Red Army tank commander got cocky and went unsupported against Axis ground troop who in short time eliminated 16+ T34,s. This though was a just a blip and the urban assault very slowly gained ground. The German commander launched a desperate counter attack against Soviet forces and although gaining some inital sucess fell foul of the massed Russian artillery. The Germans pulled back and conceded that the battle was lost. A good scenario this though balanced in favour of the Soviets there is still enough gameplay to keep the Axis player intrested. Well worth a look
