Soviets dug in T-34's and Grants in lines on both sides of the town, some in fields. AT gun in town with some of the infantry, with minefields in front. Germans did not capture a single town hex but they were all being assaulted except for one. German PzkpwIV's picked off the dug in T-34's and contributed to the town assault. Germans drove straight north and then flanked the town once the T-34's were eliminated. Off-board artillery and mortars not very effective due to most of the units being dug-in, AFV's or in the town.

While the Germans won big due to Soviet step losses, the Soviets did manage to delay the advance and frustrate the SS panzer grenadiers.

As with my previous solo play, I have treated assaulted victory hexes as being not controlled by either player.
