Scenario	TaBa027

This is yet another Shanaurin's Drive campaign scenarios that simply doesn't work. This time from an impossible balance perspective, which has to pass a very strict threshold for me to grant a "1". Much like the the other scenarios, Germans have a light recon force against a large combined arms Soviet force. This time, in theory, they must spread out across 2 maps in order to prevent steps from exiting. That... isn't going to happen. Even if densely populated they will be shot to bits without achieving anything unless the 50s roll well for a few step losses.

Conceding that they will not be able to limit steps exiting (seriously the T-34s alone are more than enough for a Soviet win), they bunch up in the town and try to limit their own losses, playing for a draw. The strict time limit makes this seem their most likely positive result. Of course the T-34s just need to close within 3, shoot up the recon AFVs and then off the board. The Germans must be able to assault with their INF and hope to tie up some tanks, otherwise they just lose.

The soviets set up their arty in the middle to hopefully prevent some of these assaults by hitting the grouping german INF and are able to dissipate the attacks before they happen. The T-34s shoot up the SPWs and armored cars then leave, and the infantry and trucks ride off the board in the north uncontested.

Basically impossible for the Germans, and not worth tabling unless you play them all like me.
