The Soviets set up first in this one, using the minefields to block the trail and setting up their tanks on the flanks for crossfire bonuses. The infantry sets up in front of the towns and artillery sets up on the hills to get the self-spotting bonuses.

With the Soviets trying to cover both sides, the Germans set up all in the south, ignoring the mined trail. They advance quickly, leaving behind a few units recovering from the effects of the Soviet artillery.

Once the Germans get spotters in range of the Soviet artillery (spotted when they fired), the German off-board artillery manages to suppress them with counter-battery fire. The German tankers move up quickly and overwhelm the Soviet armor in the south, destroying three of the Soviet platoons while losing one of their own. Now outnumbered, the remainder of the Soviet armor pulls back to the towns.

The German armor and infantry meet up and assault the defenders in the hills. Once the hills are nearly clear, they split off half of their force to attack one of the towns. The remainder clears the remaining hill hexes and heads for the other town. The group from the hill managed to clear one town, but the group that split off first just barely failed to clear the town in the north on the last turn.

The Soviets easily meet their minor victory condition (German step losses), while the Germans fail to meet theirs (clearing the towns). Had the Germans succeeded, they would have also met their major victory condition (clear town and hills). The scenario was very close, and could easily have ended in a German victory.

This is a pretty good mixed armor/infantry/artillery scenario.
