My first ftf scenario against Matt W. The Germans are very easy to play for a newcomer. I set my troops in town and shot at stacks container whenever I could to make the Russian advance more difficult to achieve. Matt advanced his tanks on my right flank and move his infantry to my left. I hit the Russians hard and often but Matt managed to keep a human wave going and it was clear it would arrive in town at turn 10 or 11. I shifted one platoon from my right flank to my left to deal with the fast approaching infantry. Matt immediately assaulted the weakened town hex with his tanks. My AT got a lucky shot, eliminating 1 more tank step, just as the Russians infantry assaulted the town. As the Russians had already lost 14 steps, I focused my OBA and mortar on the straggling demoralized platoons instead of the incoming wave. The strategy worked as I killed two more reduced platoons. German victory. |

I agree wholeheartedly with the assessment of this scenario as a great teaching tool. The Germans have little to do but shoot at the oncoming horde but there is tension in the scenario so while learning direct and indirect fire procedures you are still having fun playing.
