This scenario was the 1st I have run in which the main object was to capture the large town on board 2. In real history this is Brody. The Soviet commander tried to defend the river (boards 3 and 6) and was easily defeated. With this in mind, and with common military sense, the Soviet command heavily defended Brody and the town on board 3.

The Germans made a 2 pronged attack. The first was across the river to attack the town immediatly across the river on board 3.

a.Feint S over river on board #3 w/ about 8 platoons + the backup of artillery and mortars. b. Sweep across river from right w/ main force and hit Brody from the right.

However, the Soviets proved much tougher than expected and because the Germans had little transportation they were slow in developing their attack.It took 18 turns to reach Brody and by then it was far too late to take the town by turn 30. Brody was easily defended even by the weak 7/5 morale 21st Mech. Division. (I'd say more if my laptop was working right.)
