A large but interesting scenario.

The Russians set up mainly on the hillsides with the guns to the front. The tanks and infantry were mainly around the town but with a detachment of infantry and ATR in each of the forward towns. This forward setup was a risk but repaid in full as it held the Germans up and made it hard to get through to the main Russian line and also caused some loss to german initiative.

When this line was finally broken it suddenly changed the whole picture as it allowed the German heavy tanks to engage the weaker Russians tanks and the result was never in doubt as numbers and quality took over. Having said all that it was a struggle against the well positioned and emplaced Russians.

All in all the best game so far in my return to this series after a long hiatus!
