Played solo over many sessions often just of one turn. This 6 mapper has the German 20th Mot Div attacking Mga a major rail junction town lost to a Soviet counter attack the day before.
The attack begins on assaults on the northern bridge leading to Mga, initially taking heavy losses, but eventually taking the bridge and winning the tank battle, German ENG were laying bridges to the the South of MGA and finally established a bridgehead to assault the town, a bridgehead built to the North of the town was defeated by Soviet CAV reinforcements who in turn were destroyed by heavy German artillery. In the far South the second bridge had fallen to the Germans causing the Soviet commander to desert (obviously concerned that his KOM was looking at him while unholstering his pistol). The battle for Mga was in full flow, the Soviets were holding on to the eastern part of the town but losses were very heavy. In the melee the German commander lost his life however with both bridges secure, Mga about to fall and the massive Soviet losses German victory was certain.
Good solid Eastern Front action, German artillery holding the key to a fairly comfortable win
