This was a massacre. Albeit a fun one. So many toys for the SS. You get 5 Panther platoons so I substituted 1 Pz42t and 1 VK3002 from the 2016 Groundhog Day Golden journal. So 3 standard Panthers and 2 what ifs. The Russians set up with an infantry group on one board and 10 platoons of RKKA T34’s on the other. I had 8 T34s in woods and town keeping close to the tank leaders. I set up the the Nazis almost all entering on the T34 board with a few platoons entering the other board to get in spotting position. I just sent the SS tanks in blazing by themselves against the T34s. Held all the infantry back as it was not needed. The Panthers and Tiger cleared the way and the Pz 4s followed up. The Russians were on the run by turn 3 and destroyed before they could get away by turn 5. The armor efficiency and thePanther toughness was overwhelming. The variants faired poorly as the autogun Pz42 ran out of ammo after turn 1 and was removed from play. The VK 3002 was disrupted and spent 7 or 8 turns trying to get back to normal.

Never had to bring the SS troops in to play as the tanks plus the few platoons of spotters were overwhelming. Really saw what strong armor in open spaces can do when massed properly. Declared victory by turn 10 and it was really over by turn 3
