This was a Skype game play against Vince Hughes over just one session. He as the Germans with and infantry assault force, I as the Soviets a force of blocking armor and SMG's. Most advantages go to the Germans with better morale, quality of armor and in this play better leaders than the Soviets.

This was a meeting engagement that has both sides entering the boards at the same time. the Soviets have a better chance as they are defending with the Germans needing to try to exit units off the south end of the board. The Soviet can then try to slow them up in the cover of the fields.

Riding the tanks onto the board the Soviets head for the fields to drop off the SMGs and leaders to dig in while the AFV's advance to cover them. The Germans, moving on from the north east slowing move down the east edge with the StuG's covering in the center. With their longer range the StuG's are able to draw the first blood on a T34c. The other T34's move to block the southern advancing infantry. This force the Germans to move east as the the SMG's in the fields are well dugin at this point. The T-34's respond to the shift but this puts them in range of the StuG's which are able to put highly accurate low probability shots on the T-34's devastating them.

After this the Soviet force is depleted and looks to pull back giving the Germans a victory.

As for scenario I gave it a weak 3, as the Soviet force has a lot to do to try to stop the Germans with there blocking force. I took an aggressive approach and was not able to win with it, possibly a fixed defense would work, but that will be tricky too as there is not much time to get one established. This may be a good learning scenario, because a game between two same experienced players the Germans will win, between some one that is learning and experienced player may work just fine.
