Scenario	PGUM004

This was a little different. Ended up running it twice due to app. crashing mid-play. First thing is deployment. Initially placed 45mm AT gun off to the right to cover approach on the right side. That was a mistake as the Germans just came in on the other side of the board and the MF of the wagon just couldn't reposition before the Germans got off the map. Also underestimated the effectiveness of long range AT fire. I think the Soviet strategy needs to be to position the AT guns centrally and take every opp. fire possible vs. the APCs. The mortar was quite useful. I hadn't noticed the rule before that only mortars with a MF can opp. fire so the 10 BF of the 76.2 is useless for opp. fire. In the first run of the game the mortar was able to get some MCs so they could slow the advance, but the game crashed before we could get to a resolution. On the second run the Germans just had too many 6, 7, 8 rolls go their way. The key to this scenario seems to be that the Germans have speed on their side and the Soviets are only going to get anywhere if they hold their fire and shoot at moving targets.
