Scenario EFDx009

I pulled the plug after turn 6. The Germans had established a clear upper hand in the town. More convincingly, they were ahead 11 to 1 in the casualty count. The eventual winner was pretty clear.

Both sides moved up on the town under cover of night. The initiative edge of the Germans was decisive, as they were able to take advantage of the visibility limitations to occupy a slight majority of the town first. I was using a supplemental victory condition that majority control of the town would be a minor victory. I thought the RKKA would be feeling the pressure and tried attacking Germans on the flanks, where the extra Soviet armor added some firepower. Unfortunately for the Reds such efforts yielded a disproportionate amount of casualties.

In spite of pulling the plug early I think this is one of the best EFD scenarios I've played so far. I think it's more closely matched than it played out for me.
