Scenario PGUM005

The Germans deployed with the Tiger tank platoon 6 hexes southwest of the bridge in the woods, with the infantry on the hill closer to the bridge. The Soviet tanks raced across the bridge, and pushed east with the aim of circling around to the northeast of the hill to keep out of line of sight of the Tigers if possible. Two Soviet platoons moved adjacent to the hill. The German opportunity fire from the Tigers failed to halt the advance. The German infantry platoons tried to make an impact by advancing to assault the adjacent tanks. The ensuing assault over the next couple of turns saw the Soviets withdraw one tank unit and leave the other to its disrupted fate. Meanwhile the bulk of the Soviets moved east of the hill, out of sight of the poorly placed tigers. The assault, supported by Tiger fire eventually destroyed the Soviet unit for the loss of half a German infantry platoon. However, the Soviets won a handsome victory with 5 tank platoons safely across the bridge at the end of the game. Thanks yet again for the excellent guidance from treadasaurusrex.
