You can see my Soviet setup in Post 3. The idea was to slow down the German advance early and to fall back in good order.

It did not work at all.

The Germans saw a gaping hole between the town and the wood and moved tons of troops through that gap. The Soviets tried to close the gap but found out quickly that troops that are not dug in do not stay alive very long. The Soviets commit their reinforcements to slow down the Germans but to avail; they eventually don't have enough troops to cover a wide front.

The Germans set up a corridor between the defenders and start exiting troops off the north edge. They exit their 40th step by turn 22 to ensure victory.

German major victory.

I rated this one a weak "4". I like large scenarios and it was fun to see the consequences of a terrible setup. Very bloody scenario with the Germans suffered 51 step losses and the Soviets, 94.
