This was an interesting scenario both sides start the game dug in, most of the VPs are behind the Soviet lines with several in the German rear, so you as the Soviets could try a spoiling attack on the Germans to try and capture the other objectives or you could sit back and wait for the German attack.

Both sides had air support for this battle, but you had to roll the dice to see which side would get to draw aircraft that turn, high roll wins, if you won by 3+ you got to draw two aircraft.

The scenario is primarily an infantry show, but there are several armor units that had their own separate battles that went on for most of the game. On side of the map two platoons of Tiger tanks fought the same number of Stalin tanks at long range, the Tigers drew first blood but the remaining Stalin’s drove off the Tigers, both platoons reduced. On the other side of the map a company of T34s traded shots with a company of StuG’s, this battle was more one sided as the StuG’s got the better of the T34s.

In the end the Germans took the outlining hills and the town but failed to get up the big hill to capture the 40m hill objectives on made 103, still the Germans had the VPs to win the scenario.
