Scenario TaBa025

On the surface this one looks very similar to TB24, except that the Soviets have an even more overwhelming force. Seeing as how decisively they won the last one, this does not bode well.

The good news is they dont start on the board or enter it at any time, according to the scenario which was clearly not proofed. Unofficial errata has them entering from the east, which makes sense, but the end result is that the German reinforcements enter from the Soviet rear? Maybe thats right? Idk, but the scenario as written is non functioning, and as modified by user errata is merely not good.

Soviet VCs say they must control the town and hit a kill number. Seeing as the odds are worse than the last go around where they stood no chance, the German Recon force plays for the draw and scatters, AFVs into the woods, to avoid combat. Their only hope for a draw is if both sides lose, and the Soviets dont get enough kills.

The narrow turn limit and heavy snow make this a straightforward chase scenario with no resolution. Game ends in a draw with only OBA shots making impact. Poorly written VCs combined with obvious set up issues earn this a "1" from me.
