This scenario was redone in Eastern Front Deluxe as scenario #2 with the same name. The primary difference in that scenario was to provide an extra 10 turns for the Germans to accomplish their task (exit the board). One has to wonder if that was a typo. At 6 turns the task of scattering the defenders and moving sufficient force off the board is certainly not too difficult for the Germans (I ended up with 12 units exiting, thus winning one and a half times...) but it is not the ludicrous mess the Eastern Front scenario was.

This actually was competitive as a scenario as the Germans actually do have to blast through the Soviets and several die rolls matter (e.g. Fog of War, Soviet morale checks, etc.). I mention above that I won handily as the Germans but I did not mention that as of the end of turn 5 I had NO Germans off the board and had lost a step. The way was completely open for the exit but with a little better morale check rolling by the Soviets this could have been even closer.

If you have played Eastern Front Deluxe scenario #2 and have avoided playing this one because it sounds the same and the EF version is broken, try it out. It is quick (6 tuns) and a good deal more entertaining than the "new and improved" version. Nice at my age to verify that sometimes older is better. I give it a "4".
