Setup: The Soviets split up their forces into two halves, with two full lines across Boards 3 and 7, one right on the river, and another three hexes the west, with the purpose to defend both the east-west roads and the two bridges across the river. The dozens of anti-tank guns and AFV's bristle along the entire line.

Play: The Americans quickly move down both of the roads to begin their assault, but quickly run into problems, with the Soviet artillery taking out a few steps on their approach. The Americans hold back their tanks until the infantry can tie up the Soviet guns in assaults. The Americans thus rush their men forward, and suffer through the Soviet opportunity fire relatively unscathed.

The Soviets gain initiative on the turn by two on the turn and try to stop the head American leaders, but fail, and the Americans launch their assault. The first wave goes well for the Americans, who catch another break when the Soviet fire first fails to halt the Americans. After several turns of assaults, the Americans break through in the south, and bring up their tanks on both roads, to aid in the assaults.

The Americans stall in the north, and the Soviets decide to counter-attack, almost completely destroying the American attack. In the south, the same thing happens, and the Soviets use their three to one infantry advantage against the Americans and swamp them with their counter attack. The Americans have no choice to retreat from the battle. The Soviet JS-4's as reinforcements never arrive because no American units reach the east side of the river.

Result: Soviet Major Victory. The Victory Point Count stands at 174-79, with the Soviets having a ninety five point lead.
