An interesting game setup up with a small force of Russians holding a large village on the edge of two boards. These Russians had enough weapons to hold this having ATG and mortars although of course the Russian infantry is weak. Germans were a bit bigger but had plenty of tanks including the Panzer IV.

The Russians had a line of dugin troops a few hexes out from the town, but in range for support. This is a common tactic for me as I try to slow the attackers down. Most of the rest were sat in the time with the mortars on the hills dug in

Germans attacked well and using the OBA started to dig out the outlying troops. This was when the 45mm ATG decided they needed to do something about the Germans and soon several tanks had been hit, including some Panzer IVs. Despite these losses though the Germans finally got a hold in the village and after that it was just Assualts. This did mean though that the Germans took too many losses and allowed the Russians to win but the Germans took the village which gave them the win as well.

I have put it down as a draw but Russian victory condition doesn't say at the end of game so it could well be a Russian victory. Good game in itself but Assaults in villages are a bit boring so not one to play twice.
