Scenario EFDx002

So, this is certainly at best a training scenario. Russians set up dispersed--but as close as possible---with 5 dug-in--along the northern edge of board 8. The intent is to block the NW corner, where the Germans will no doubt try to leave the map. So even Dug-in, and even with the help of night...grimness.

Germans used their officers to spot at night...getting within spotting range by turn 3...they then proceeded to drop 32 offboard, 32 on board +8 mortar on any visible Russian units---promptly causing any organized defense to shatter and run east ....within a few few turns it became clear that the Russian just cannot hold up against the Artillery and when the HMGs unload and start adding 32 more to the fire...

Germans were able to clear a path off board and get their units off...with only 3 turns left...the remaining russians (about 1/2 ) too far away to cause any damage....we called it...German victory.

An intelligent German will Always win this scenario---stay out of range and let your Artillery do the walking through the Russian units....

Was an interesting game....learned the use of the tools, with audio skype. Good experience....
