As the German, I got a little cocky and set up too far forward. I took the first opportunity I could to jump off that hill and engage the Soviets in assaults, but I had completely ignored the possibility of massed Soviet artillery, which destroyed a good number of my infantry with complete impunity. I should have stuck to the back side of the hill and hunkered down in the town until the Tigers showed up.

The Soviets were at the gates of the town and the Tigers weren't even on the board yet when I conceded defeat.
