Scenario RtBr074

In my delirium to get a turn or two in last night, I waited far too long to unload my German transports and a number of them got to close to the Russian T-34C’s & T-70’s, blown up with passengers. We’ll see if the German can recover enough to continue one of their last full scale advances of the war. I guess that is about the biggest error you can make in PG but I think I still have enough left to do the job, we’ll see.

I noticed that Armored Cars are tough to use in late war battles, with the low armor protective factors. It's better to use them with Infantry or behind enemy lines but always away from AT guns & Tanks. I lost all my German Armored Cars but they were useful in taking out a couple of enemy steps.

Kind of an anti-climatic AAR, the Germans came away with a total victory even with the set-back in the beginning. I think this scenario favors the German but never the less, a very fun scenario to play. I finally got to push around those Russian T-70’s counters I was longing for all these years. I think they will do better in 1942-43 scenarios against Pz III’s then the 1945 scenarios against Panthers. It kind of reminds me of situations in the Battle of the Bulge with Stuarts and against Panthers.
