Scenario EFDx014

I played this one in Panzer Grenadier and since I was so surprised at how the Sneak Attack scenario had changed I wondered if this one would be substantially different. The Soviet strategy was essentially the same, string out on the road to "find" the Brandenburgers before they reach the bridge. The ability to win the game still hinges on keeping the Brandenburgers from getting to the bridge, which boils down to several die rolls. In this case I found them while they were still three hexes away from the bridge.

I had three chances to blow the bridge and came away empty. By that time the Germans had pierced through the defenses and been able to assault the bridge.

While this is not a particularly memorable scenario it is very quick and kinda quirky, plus you get to use the KDO unit in Eastern Front which is kinda fun. All in all, not a bad way to spend about 30 minutes.

This is not really suited for competitive play, so is recommended primarily for solo play.
