Scenario PaGr043

This was a fast-paced, 2-session play-through with an experienced PG player than has recently returned to the fray, but played on the Vassal platform after many face-to-face encounters with me and several others over the years. I Played the German side and CavDo was the Soviet tank commander. In this 9-turm scenario, we ignored the FOW, but used the extended assault, excess initiativeand smoke optional rules. As others have reported, this one is mostly a swirling tank vs. tank fight. This battle features a smallish, German combined arms team that must advance into the maw of death, as the Soviets are hiding in limiting terrain from the beginning. As hoped, we both maneuvered wildly and many tanks were spotted, hit and eliminated on both sides, ultimately resulting a hard-fought draw.

My opponent agreed that this is a fun scenario to play if one wants to learn how to effectively deploy one's armored assets. My only issue, is as others have pointed out -- that there is a rather limited counter mix. I give this one a 4, and recommend it for shared, or solo play.
