RE: Beginners-Game Step-by-step
Maybe I should get one of those metallic when the kids leave the house and I have a room dedicated to gaming. It sure is tempting after seeing your pictures.
Don't forget about the Soviet reinforcements which appear in town per Scenario Special Rule (SSR) 3 when you play through the scenario.
You set up the Soviets as I would have. I might move some units west on the first turn and possibly have them start digging in in something like 1009, 1008, and 1007 on turn 2. The 10-0-1 Lieutenant would accompany. My basic idea would be to use this force to prevent the Germans from being able to advance directly, and quickly, towards town. The other Lieutenant would probably stay in town to direct the reinforcements to where they are needed.
I might have set up the German stack in 0209 instead of 0208 to start them on the road. The stack will pay 1 Movement Point (MP) to move from 0208 to 0309, but would pay only 2/3 MP if they were to move from 0209 to 0309. The Germans have a 9-2-2 Sergeant which is a big factor in such a small scenario. When your troops get close to the Soviets, try to make best use of your leaders so that your troops almost always benefit form one or the other leader's morale modifier should your troops take opportunity fire. Sorry if I am not clear but it will make more sense when your troops have to roll their first few morale checks.
Enjoy!
