The Soviets circled the wagons around the town hexes. The Germans did not hold back a flanking force, instead electing to hit the Soviets with everything they had in one blow. The Brummbars and Elefants did very well in culling Soviet strength down consistently throughout. The Germans also got air on 5 turns. The Soviets just couldn’t hold under the relentless beating. They did manage to have a few units on the 40 meter hexes at the end. The Germans did cut a corridor through the map and take the town hexes for a German victory.
