Dug in Red Army troops with T34 support have to hold the road, against good quality German infantry supported by Pz38t. To win the Germans have to clear the road, for the Soviets to win they have to keep clear Board 5 from German units. Both victories look hard for either player, and I set up to ensure I would at least hold the road with my infantry dug in under the guns of the leaderless T34's dug in on the hills behind them. I was going for the draw from turn one if an opportunity arose to take the battle to the Hun I would grasp it. It did not and although the German commander tried to whittle away my dug in troops and did push the first line back using long range MG fire from his tanks, he could not risk coming into normal range of the dug in RKKA tanks and this scenario kind of petered out into low odds shooting with neither of us wishing to risk much more.
