This is another mini-monster that is going to tend towards a draw due to kills on both sides. Soviets have a ton of everything against a German primarily infantry force that occupies towns. Because the map footprint is so small, there isnt all that much of a strategy for the Soviets, they are so densely packed they are just going to steamroll across as a semi blob and crush anything in their path.

Germans have to be more selective, and set up the bulk of their force in the town on board 4, with the balance in the town on 1 and its nearby hill, and a battle line dug in between them to hopefully blunt the attack. Of note is that their Stugs deploy forward in the town on 4 hoping to pop off some of the T-34s and potentially set up crossfire with the 50s on the hill. Also the Soviets have no where to hide their BM13s when onboarding so the Germans plan on taking these out as priority targets with their OBA on the path to hitting their step requirement.

The Soviets are just too overwhelming though, and the Germans dont have the waves of reinforcements they had in the last one. The town falls after taking out a chunk of the attackers, including a good number of the RKKA T-34s, but there are plenty of Guards T-34s to take their place. The dug in line doesnt accomplish much against the armor, and then the hill falls and the town on 1. Very methodical, and grinding attack that ultimately does not run out of steam due to the massive amount of resources available.

Soviets end with the town, but the Germans have enough kills to force the draw. Germans could have not used the dug in line to conserve bodies for a little tougher fight on 1, but I dont think it really matters. This is almost always going to draw.
