Sadly, I gave what could be a pretty good scenario a 2 based on what I feel are flawed Victory Conditions. The VC goes like this: Germans control 2 N-S roads controlled by 2 Soviet divisions. Each division can't cross into each other's space. Thus the German can take on one division at a time. The German, who is less mobile and weaker, does precisely this.

The Soviets are defeated by the 12th turn. They lose 36 steps before a key piece, an 88, is taken out! Although the 12th Tank Div. is stronger by itself, it is forced into charging the German line over substtantial open ground. Two 88s and 2 50mm's in enfilade take a terrible toll. A large number of infantry are taken out by 48 pts. of off-board artillery and 24 pts. mortar fire before the infantry reach the German lines.

I think the scenario would have been more demanding on the Germans if they were forced to defend both roads from the beginning. In deterrence to the designer, the Germans probably would not have won a major victory because the Soviets would be put into a solid defensive mode after the ccrushing of the 12th. The Germans also have an immobile force. More on this in #20,Infantry Attacks!
