Scenario KurS011

The Germans were unstoppable in this scenario. No leader on their side had a morale rating less than 9, and there was even a leader with a 2 morale modifier!

The Russians set up so as to make sure the Germans were as far back as possible. As the Russians retreated from these forward positions, the Grille and the Marder actually got to shoot up two of their infantry platoons from the cover of the little town. The Germans also had unnaturally good rolls on their artillery bombardments. Several Russians were demoralized on their way back to the town.

The German infantry advanced inexorably forward, then began assaulting the town. They began taking losses at this point in the assaults, but by turn 5 the Russians, who had lost one 76.2 mm had no way to keep the German armor out of the town, and with their advance from the little town, the Russians lost heart and surrendered.

This scenario was mostly a study in "formation control" for the Germans; it required very little in the way of creative thinking or unorthodox approaches to tactical situations. Hence I rated it a 3.
