This "take the town" scenario has the Soviet's on the defense, with the Germans attacking from the north and south of the town. This forces the Russian to set up in a hedgehog type defense around Berezov.
In this play the German came on from both side but with the SPGs supporting the northern attack.
Initially the opening few turns were in favour of the Red Army with some excellent shooting from the Guards causing several losses to the advancing SS. However after 60 minutes the combined HMG platoons from several companies were raking the outlying Soviet entrenchments meanwhile the German OBDA had found its range and were also causing casualties in the Soviet ATG's.
There was a short sharp tank battle with on platoon of lease lend Grants taking on three times that number of Stug's which resulted in the Grant's destruction by the 50mm A/T gun in a long range fluke shot. The Stugs were too busy killing Soviet foot units to worry about Russian armour.
By GT 8 (of 12) two small German footholds in the town had been established although these were never completely cleared the Soviet losses had been heavy and by scenario end German units had completely surrounded the town and its resolute defenders.
A quick count up confirmed that this was a German minor victory.
Not a lot to this scenario but nothing wrong with it either, excellent one map smallish scenario ideal for that spare two or three hours before work
