Scenario PaGr011

This scenario sees large German and Russian tank forces duking it out for the town in board 2. The movement restrictions more or less dictate that the Germans set up in the town, or immediately next to it, and the Russians more or less drive straight towards it. It becomes a rather straight forward dice rolling contest with the Germans having more shots due to efficiency, but the Russians having more powerful shots. In my game the Russians won, but it could have gone either way.

Of note is the KV1s. which are moving incredibly slow, but due to the excessive movement restrictions on the Germans, are very hard to deal with. It is nearly impossible to get a flanking attack on them if you approach carefully.

Despite its simplicity, this scenario demonstrates the AT system, as there are only 2 german infantry units that are not tanks, and is most likely being used as a tutorial scenario on this system. (This is the first scenario in PG to include tanks on both sides btw). I also find it humorous that this was included before the other Katukov scenario, so all the references to "again" are awkward.

Russians won in what became a late game bloodbath as their small advantage snowballed throghout the game.
