I was amazed at how quickly the German attack suffered setbacks. I lined up all of my infantry on the first level of the hill facing the German positions. Although the Germans did manage to get onto the hill with a few assaults, the Russian artillery proved devastating, especially when the Germans were packed into a hex with three units. I didn't have to kill any of the Elefants, I just had to disrupt or demoralize them or their accompanying infantry to get the Germans to concede defeat by turn 8.
