Ivan Hangs on - Barely |
---|
Soviets set up solely on board 4 with units in the town and entrenchments to the left, forward, and to the right of the town. The Italians entered from the north along the road. They quickly approached the entrenchments, but the Soviets surprisingly held strong. The Italian reinforcements entered on turn 8 as the initial forces continued to struggle with the entrenched Soviets a few hexes north of the town. Two thirds of the way through the game the Italians had yet to approach the town and still struggled with the Soviet perimeter defenses. By games end the Italians had gotten to the town and had taken two hexes of it, but were too demoralized and scattered to make a serious attack on it. The Soviet defenders were also at the breaking point as well and didn't have much left to defend with. A Soviet victory, but this scenario definitely warrants replay. |
