Scenario SioL007

This was a solo game played over three sessions. The Germans advance on a narrow front and attempt to capture town including the Vibolkalo rail station and clear a road. They have to do this in deep snow conditions which does slow movement particually off road. The Wermacht failed to take any of thier objectives but still won the game on steps eliminated VP. This scenario is a bit of a slugfest with artillery being the main weapon. The Germans have 64 points of off board plus 4 x 105mm on board and 6 x 81mm morters. With good use of leaders to combine the on board artillery you get lot of rolls on the high end of the bombardment chart, this was used to keep blasting away at the Soviet ground troops causing step losses nearly evey turn once the artillery was properly deployed. The other error for the Soviets was in allowing their weak armour to get involed in assults the Russians lost 4 platoons of BT7s and 2 platons of T60s these lost VP were crucial to the German win. This is a big long game and it takes a while for the game to get going as the Germans slowly deploy from march order however I enjoyed this scenario and would replay it again.
