Simple quick scenario to while away a few hours on a wet English summers day. This 10 turn quickie had a German force attacking from the North mainly INF with a STUG platoon in support against dug in Soviet troop around the state farm in the title.
In my game nothing much happened for the first 3 turns as the German troops advanced carefully moving the STUG out of the line of sight of the Soviet 76.2 field pieces. The Russian battery commander then tried to move his weapons into range and line of sight of the German armour and promptly got an accurate barrage dropped on him. First blood to the Hun.
However the German foot units met accurate HMG and MTR fire as they advanced and were soon hugging the ground, with both platoons and their leaders disrupted and demoralized, a Soviet counter attack was destroyed but time was running out for the Germans and when friendly fire disrupted more of the attacking INF it was obvious that the farm would stay firmly in Russian hands for the foreseeable future. A final attack was easily batted away by the Red Army and at scenario end losses were three steps each and with no ground gained by the Wehrmacht a easy Russian victory.
This scenario is a quick, simple "take the town" one with little room for much in the way of tactics. Ideal then for the beginner or anyone wanting a quickie.
