Scenario EFDx083

Germans set up concentrated in the middle near the railroad line with a couple platoons north and south on each flank. The Soviets set up in the woods and along the tracks with a few platoons north/south of the woods dug-in. The armored train was on the western edge of map 6. The Germans began their advance through the snow and sent the tanks out onto the flanks where they were able to catch the armored train in a crossfire while it was concentrating on the troop laden halftracks. Since the Soviets had no more AT weapons the German AFV's then roamed freely aiding in the gradual reduction of the Soviet forces. By the end only a few Soviet combat units remained and the Germans had complete control of the railroad line. This play of the scenario wasn't close, but was drastically impacted by the early loss of the Soviet armored train. It would definitely be worth replaying - with more thought being given to protection of the train.
