Scenario EFDx006

This is my first AAR and also first completed PG scenario. I chose Insecurities because of its low counter and relatively straight forward victory conditions. Also I only had to concentrate on infantry combat and hence forth less rules(armor) to deal with. Basically the Germans did not have a lot going for them, although I was able to draw a couple of good leaders even with the handicap of having to pick two of the weakest. The Russians with their superior firepower and indirect fire support proved to much for the German attack. I tried to position the German forces as close to the Russians as possible using the Forrest and small village has cover. When the assault began the Germans had to endure withering opportunity fire from the Russian machine guns. To make matters worse the Russian colonel was able to combine op fire with devastating results. Eventually I was able to close with the Russians and through assault combat, the Germans did inflict some damage. But in the end the Russians held the line and even counterattacked although in the process taking more damage then needed to be taken. The Germans though valiant in their attempt, should of stuck to the game plan and not attacked with the odds stacked against them like they were.
