In this scenario, a large, low quality German force assaults two towns and a bridge along the Oder river. The Soviets left a single platoon to defend the small town, while the rest if their forces, including an understrength T-34 platoon, were concentrated around the bridge. The Germans split their forces into two groups, one to assault the small town, and another to assault the larger town and bridge. Unfortunately for the Germans, their only armored support, a platoon of Panzer IV F2s, advanced too far ahead of the infantry initially, and while halted on the outskirts of the larger town, they were overwhelmed by a surprise assault from Soviet infantry who had sallied out of the town.

Despite this initial setback, the attack went on. The Germans moved right in to assault the small town, and they tried to bring the weight of their superior numbers to bear outside the larger town, but it was tough going in the face of constant Soviet fire. The fragile morale of the German infantry made it difficult to bring enough force to bear, as Soviet fire constantly knocked German platoons out of the fight. After hours of back and forth in the small town, the Germans' numbers finally prevailed, and the Soviet defenders were eliminated. After an even longer firefight outside the large town, the Soviets were finally forced out of a town hex by a failure to recover their morale, and the Germans exploited this advantage and moved in. An immediate counterattack by Soviet infantry and armor failed to dislodge them, but the Germans didn't have the strength to push through to the bridge, ending the game with a German minor victory.

This was another decent small scenario for getting into the system. It was quick and straightforward, but it wasn't the most exciting and immersive experience. I am still hoping that bigger scenarios with more variety will deliver a better gameplay experience.
