In the snows of November, a Soviet tank brigade charges into elements of a German panzer division, attempting to halt their advance. Each side enters the board in this meeting engagement scenario.

The Germans sent their PZ-IVE and one PZ-IIIF straight down the road before veering into the fringe of the woods, while sending the rest of the tanks on a flank move around the north end of the woods, and sent their infantry into the woods (where it could avoid the Russian tanks and get closer to the road without being exposed.) The Soviets countered by mirroring the German approach, sending the T-34's up the middle (and then into the woods, within sighting range of the German tanks) while positioning the BT-7's as a guard against the flank move, and sending the infantry likewise into the woods.

The contest evolved into several isolated encounters. The infantry clashed in the midst of the woods in a series of assaults and counter-assaults. The T-34's got the better of the two panzer platoons facing them, and (while losing a step) the BT-7's, surprisingly, beat up the other German tanks. After disposing of the tanks facing them, the T-34's moved west and helped the BT-7's finish off the last of the PZ-III's, then returned to the road to guard against any infantry threat. One reduced BT-7 was jumped (in a woods assault) by German refugees from the infantry struggle, and though eventually joined by the other reduced BT-7, the assault ground on until late, when the Germans were set in flight while one of the BT-7's was destroyed.

Late in the game, two German INF platoons and the major broke out of the assaults and made a break for the road. They were blocked by the T-34's, who entered into an assault in the woods despite the lack of infantry support (and lost a step as a result.) Joined in the final turn by a reduced SMG unit, the tanks managed to keep the German infantry from the road.

The Germans suffered heavily: All 8 tank steps plus 2 infantry steps. The Soviets took punishment in return: 3 BT-7, 1 T-34, 3 SMG and 1 INF steps. But they kept the road clear, and thus secured the victory.
