The Soviets gambled, giving up most of map 42 from the outset, gambling on holding the high ground with dug in AT strongpoints. It looked to backfire as the Germans rolled across and at first, started to make headway. However, the Soviets got the first two aircraft, which wrecked an infantry attack buildup. This set the Germans back as the Soviet AT fire did well also. The Soviets had held back their armor while the line held on, but not by a lot. On Turn 15 the Soviets unleashed all their armor in a head on collision with the German armor. The resulting furball ended with the Germans holding no ebjectives at game’s end. Soviet victory.
