Scenario EFDx017

Simple victory conditions keep this one fast and basic. Both sides are just trying to knock out enemy steps. Russians have a mix of just about every tank in their inventory, plus a battalion of inf and smgs. Germans have 2 PzIII platoons and a PzIV platoon, plus 4 batteries of a/t guns and a battalion of infantry. Germans need to kill 12 steps, the Soviets 8.

In my play, the Soviet infantry split up and were defeated in detail by the superior morale German infantry. The Soviet T34 platoon broke out and killed a PzIII platoon. The group of Land Battleships (1.5 platoons of T35 and 1 each of KV1 and KV2) joined some surviving Soviet inf and smg to assault a strong line of German infantry, causing heavy casualties. 3 platoons of Soviet light tanks were wiped out.

In just over 2 hours both side achieved their VCs and basically disengaged after that.

Draw.
