Hung over maybe but not drunk. This small scenario sees 8 German Naval Infantry and 2 Naval Infantry HMGs lead by 3 German officers. Leader draw was good on both sides with Germans getting all 3 9, with the Captain a 9-0-0, a 9-0-1 and a 9-1-0 LT. Russians got a 10-0-2 Major, 9-0-1, 9-1-0 and 9-1-1 LTs. Russians objective is to run 6 or more infantry steps off the west edge of the board before the end of 20 turns, and Germans win if the Russians dont. At first look, the 2-hex town looked like the perfect place to set up a forward German area, but I seemed too far forward so I set up 2 stacks of 1 infantry and 1 HMG with the German captain in the east edge of the central woods hex, with a stack of 3 infantry and an LT in the southern town hex and another similar stack in the northern light woods hex. It seemed these wings could wait and watch and react to anything the Germans did while being strong enough to do some damage to Russians as they went by. Russians had 2 12 OBA and Germans have 1 10 OBA, and the Russians also have a single mortar. The two best LTs deployed to the north and entered using their full moves of 3 each turn, not stopping to exchange fire, while the Russian Major and the 3rd LT entered at their slower rate of 2 due to the HMGs and Mortar and came down the middle to tie up the central German force, the mortar dropped off and deployed in the town to offer some more fire support. Russians won and kept the initiative for the full length of play, and while the Major and the LT in the center took casualties as they tried to assault, the did succeed in exchanging morale checks with the Germans that the Germans were less able to shrug off. The northern German force took several shots and called OBA fire as the Russians sped by, but were themselves hit hard by Russian OBA, becoming demoralized and then fleeing east to the safety of the woods, finally getting regrouped just short of that objective but where they could do nothing further to influence the fight. The southern German force managed to get accross the board in time to get off one shot and call in inneffective OBA as the Russians sped past with a total of 8 steps and 2 leaders. By turn 7, it was over, the Russians getting their 8 steps and 2 leaders off the west edge, while the Germans and Russians in the middle continued to tie each other down with morale checks and rallies. I ended the game at that point since casualties were not an objective for either side, the Russians had already achieved their goal and further shooting was just going to wear down the Germans more than it would the Russians, who could afford to fall back into the cover of the large town and pound away with long range HMG fire and OBA on the Germans. Russians lost 3 steps to only 1 German, but the Germans were unable to stem the Russian tide. Great game.
