Scenario HoSU022

This is probably the best scenario within HotSU. I played this several years ago with a friend from my local club

This scenario has a heavy German tank unit trying to force its way across three boards. The Soviets face them with infantry and AT guns even BM-13 rockets. The Germans get to use PzVIa to rumble over the Soviets. The Soviets get to setup and hold the best positions the Germans enter the board on turn 1. There is a lot of OBA on both sides, this caused many of the infantry casualties on both sides.

For us the battle came down to tanks v. AT guns and in this case the Germans won the match and overran most of the guns. But OBA causalities were quite high, we noted 34 steps lost to OBA. As for tactics, the Germans need to push up the road and destroy Soviet units. The Soviets need to hold as much as possible and use their OBA to slow the assault down. The Germans have the time with 56 runs, and a very long Saturday, they can get control of all the towns. Soviets have a chance at winning but must get some good OP and OBA rolls. The Soviets seemed to roll high morale checks and sevens on the attacks.

If you have the time for this one it is worth is especially if you like German armor.
