In spite of the muddy ground conditions, the Germans have a greater chance of winning this scenario, basically because of their higher morale level and the better overall quality of their leaders.

My play of the scenario saw the Axis forces slowly but steadily advancing across the soft plains towards the city to their front (the "hidden objective" of the scenario). Soviet artillery didn't manage to disrupt the Germans seriously, and the latter managed to assault and take the city with few casualties (the Pz III took a step loss from the Soviet 76 - ouch!).

The Tiger platoon served mainly as a diversionary show against the Soviet left flank. Moving along the road makes it very difficult for it to bog bown in the mud, its fearsome firepower can seriously harm any Soviet unit not in an Entrenchment or Town hex, and its armour makes it rather impervious to enemy return fire. Just stay away from the soft terrain and hostile infantry in town hexes, and you are OK.
