The Soviets are badly outmatched in this one. The Germans have firepower and morale and start out very close to the Soviets, in the dark. On the other hand, as the statistics point out, this is a very competitive scenario as the turn length forces the Germans to be more aggressive than their force mix can clearly accomplish.

This is very short (7 turns) and very small in terms of units engaged and is well suited for a learning scenario to get a feel for morale differences, hill terrain and assault combat. It is not a sufficiently involved situation for those looking for a challenge but it is perfectly well suited for a teaching tool for new players.

I would suggest this for a ftf play or two. There's not a lot going on from a maneuver standpoint but there is plenty of variability in results. If there is a true beer and pretzels scenario in PG this might be it.
