Scenario TaBa023

This scenario is complete nonsense unless you do a near complete rewrite of the instructions. For that reason I give it a "1" as a broken scenario, regardless of how the user written scenario plays, as it is in fact a user written scenario. That being said, using the scenario errata of adding the extra board (despite the assertion specifically that the board diagram is correct in the book) this was quite interesting. It is sort of a combo of Hells Fury I and Hells Fury II, but with a different (either pre or post eratta) board set up. Because of this the Germans must come up with a coherant defense plan, as they do not have enough strength to defend everywhere against the massed Soviet offense.

Germans set up heavy on board 3, with plans to either fight tough their or fall back once the Soviet plan is determined. A skeleton force in on board 2, hoping they can survive long enough for reinforcements, while Western 4 has the recon force ready to defeat the Soviet Cav probe, and the rest combined in East 4 and 1. Soviets see the strong 3 and weak 2, so they mass the entire Guards force on 2, with the RKKA entering on 3 to keep the Germans busy and in place.

Rather than turning into a novel of this massive rewritten scenario, the general flow was the Soviet Guards taking board 2 prior to the full arrival of reinforcements from German Armor, and the reinforcing recon force after defeating the cav. They then sweep East 4 and West 4 while the RKKA grinds out 3. Bloodbath on all sides, but the Soviets, with measured patience, "win" this one.

I must again reiterate, my rating is based on whats in the book. And it is completely unusable as is.
