So what do you think would happen? Part 2 |
---|
Germans enter from the northwest and Soviets enter from the southeast. Each side has a lot of tanks. Each side has a lot of infantry; except the Germans are mechanized and the Soviets or motorized. The Soviets have to avoid having more than five German units on the east side of the map. The Germans just need to hold on. The German mechanized sprints for the northeast town and sends the armor to the central fields. The tanks will slow the Soviet advance across the fields and the infantry will hold onto the town and force an urban assault. The Soviets move into the central woods and waits while their armor engages the Germans from the treeline. Their plan is to reduce the German armor then advance the dismounted infantry to engage the Germans in the town. In the woods the Soviet armor's tough hide required the German tankers to spread out and cross-fire. After an hours long tank battle the Germans were quite battered but the Soviets were rendered ineffective. Nothing left to do but charge the Soviet infantry. Charging into a stack of APCs and rifle fire ended as you would expect. A better use of the Soviet tanks would have been to avoid the German tank's cross-fire and attack the APCs. Then cross the infantry to assault. But tactical solutions are not always obvious until the AAR is written. |
