This is a good introductory scenario for someone either just learning to play PG, or someone looking to refresh themselves after a long hiatus.

The Germans launch their attack on the first day of the Russian Campaign against a completely unprepared and unaware foe. The Russians are scattered and lacking in most of the necessities of war (Leadership, armor, artillery, air support, transport). Essentially, the Germans need to clear a path with which to exit their units and move on to a larger scope of the campaign, while the Russians must hold/delay the inevitable. In my opinion, even the most seasoned of Russian players would have a difficult time containing the German assault.

Most of the German units slipped past the Russian defenses unnoticed and unmolested. A strong screening force, supported by OBA and the armored car systematically reduced the few Russian positions. Bombardment, followed by close in direct fire, left the Russians demoralized and reduced, and ripe for a final assault. Half of the Russian OOB was destroyed in this manner, while the rest was too far away and too slow to respond. Some lucky Russian mortar fire succeeded in causing various disruptions to the German advance, but superior German leadership and morale quickly overcame these setbacks, and allowed the advance to resume.

Again, a good scenario with which to learn/refresh on the mechanics of the system, but a bit of a yawn for the Russian player. Same scenario as Panzer Grenadier scenario #40.
