Scenario PGUM002

This scenario started very poorly for the Soviets. All of the Germans managed to dig in and their OBA was firing to great effect. Soviet aircraft made an appearance on turn 2, but for the rest of the battle the Luftwaffe controlled the skies.

With a tight schedule and heedless of casualties, the Soviets rushed into assault and then called down all the OBA they had onto the assault area. Fortune smiled on them as the Germans took a terrible pounding (2d6 = 2) while the Soviets managed to dodge the incoming shells entirely.

From there the Soviet machine ground relentlessly onward. By the end of the battle only one brave German INF held out on the hill, dug-in and in good order.

The battle was a draw, but the INF platoon knew their fate was sealed... it was only a matter of time.
