Played ftf with Wayne Baumber.

On the opening day of Operation Barbarossa, the German 505th were assigned to punch through the area near Vindava. Lightly screened by soviet troops from the 67th Rifle Division, the German infantry would receive ample artillery support during their attack. At 0500 hours, the dawn was by broken by the screaming of German shells raining down on the Soviet positions.

The Germans were tasked to exit a number of troops in order to keep pressing the attack deeper into the Soviet territory. In the event, this proved a very one-sided affair as Soviet casualties mounted considerably, whilst Wehrmacht casualties were negligible. The Germans exited with ease having destroyed any semblance of defence facing them, and all in all, the battle proved a very easy one for them.

Post battle analysis did find that PERHAPS the Soviet set-up may have been better off if concentrated at a particular road point. This would certainly had made the German task more difficult, but this was not obvious at the beginning. Rated as a mere '1' as it was just TOO simple for the Germans
