The Germans ave to bludgeon their way through a Soviet defense to achieve any victory conditions. The Soviets massed their defenses on/around the ridge on Map 41. The line was pretty strong, given the Germans having armor, but not a high numerical infantry superiority to grind through the Soviet infantry and ATGs. The Germans use smoke to help moving up, which does assist in their getting close a little more intact. However, the defenses were dense, and the Soviets got reinforcements on Turn 10 that added to the melee on the ridge. Both sides got 5 air apiece. The Soviets held up I their entrenchment while the Germans lost 1 step of Stugs and Elefants. One Goliath effective. In the end the Germans failed to achieve any objectives. Soviet victory.
