Scenario EFDx097

Setup: Both the Germans' and the Soviets' setups are relatively simple, because the setup instructions are very restrictive. The Soviet setup in the north side of the town, while the Germans setup their units as close to the town as possible to make the best use of their limited attack window.

Play: The Germans rush the town while the infantry gun and mortars attack the town from afar. The Germans main attack force reaches the town after six turns, making sure that the entire group moves at the same speed of the HMG's. The Soviets' opportunity fire is ineffective, but takes out an entire heavy machine gun platoon.

The Germans spend an hour exchanging fire with the Soviets in the town, with little success, even losing another step. They then assault, but they do not have enough material to make a big breakthrough, and must attempt to wear the Soviets down over time. However, the Soviets are very resilient and turn away the first two turns of German assaults.

The Soviets begin their counterattack once all their units are back in good order, and begin to push the Germans out of the southern town. The Germans attempt to hold on to the one town hex they have captured the Soviets manage to recapture, and eventually the Germans' attack completely breaks, forcing a retreat.

Result: Soviet Victory
