Scenario	RtBr010

I will dovetail off of what plloyd1010 has written up in his AAR. This was a fun scenario which (I believe) called for some thinking outside the box. The Hitlerites have a well balanced force with decent OBA on the move with a fairly large area to exit units. My strategy would have to not be a traditional dug in infantry with armor support. The plan was to try and let the Nazi’s roll forward in to our positions and swing armor and a small fire force around behind the column and pick them off as much as possible. A minor victory seemed achievable, but not allowing the Nazi’s a major victory was a large task.

In the end, the cohesive movement strategy employed by the Hitlerites supplemented by having the initiative every turn, armor efficiency, poor RKKA leadership (shot after the battle), light OBA, and a few mistakes caused a loss.

He got a major victory, I got a minor victory. I learned from previous scenarios that RKKA T-34’s going against efficient German armor which included 2 platoons of Panthers was a HUGE problem. So it played out.

Looking for revenge in the next battle.
