Scenario EFDx002

I recently discovered the extensive Vassal modules at PGHQ. I've embarked upon plays of the East Front Deluxe scenarios using a balancing document I found on BGG. I chose Sneak Attack for my first scenario because I thought it was among the first in the EFD timeline, and it's pretty small.

Alas, I found the balancing mechanisms didn't work for this scenario - I still don't see it as much of a contest. The Germans stayed out of range and used their on-board and off-board bombardment fire to soften up the Soviets. When it was safe they started closing range, while concurrently flanking toward the exit hexes. I pulled the plug after about five turns.

Perhaps a more seasoned PG player could put up a better fight with the Reds. While pretty forgettable, it is a good scale for a learning scenario with a noob.
