Scenario RtBr072

Played ftf with Hugmenot.

The Germans entered the field in two uneven groups separated by the large swamp. I pushed the Soviets hard to gain the center position between the two German groups. Two platoons of infantry plus some artillery kept the German sailors busy long enough for the remainder of the Soviet force to overwhelm the smaller German force and open a route for the infantry to cross the board and secure victory.

As can be seen from the earlier statistics on this scenario it is very unbalanced towards the Soviets, but the German Navy units are fun to have. This is a quick playing scenario with a couple of choices for both players. It adequately gives the impression of the bottom of the barrel being scraped by the expiring Reich, where two companies of Soviet troops can attack and defeat a force 50% larger than themselves through the use of morale and close assault. I give it a "3".
