Escenario corto (16 turnos) con pocas fichas y dos mapas. Victoria alemana, ya que los alemanes consiguen entrar en la ciudad del mapa 2 y sufren sólo 1 baja. Escenario muy aleatorio. Los soviéticos han tenido mala suerte, ya que no ha entrado ni una sóla unidad de refuerzo. Entretenido.

In this scenario a company of the GD Regiment must approach and enter the large town on Board 2. The second they enter the town in any way the scenario is over as the Germans have won. The Soviets can nip at their heels but that's really all that is left. Of course, the Germans can choose to eliminate Soviet steps as an alternative but the goal of the action was to scout out the town so the historical approach is to get into the town and verify that it is occupied.

The Soviets start out with insufficient force but each turn a die is rolled to see if they receive reinforcements (on a 1 or 2 they get an additional full strength INF in the town (no doubt waking up from a snooze). In my play they got two additional INF platoons in the first 6 turns.

The Soviets moved their HMG and one ING onto the road and dug in to hit the Germans with Opportunity Fire. The Germans dropped off their HMG and sent their ING on a loop to the south threatening to enter the town. With a range of only 2 hexes, the defending Soviet INF didn't have the range to keep the Germans far enough away from the town nor did they ultimately have sufficient force to block the Germans entry (and with only two leaders they simply couldn't maneuver well enough anyhow). The Germans entered the town on the 7th turn and the Soviets conceded.

A very straightforward movement oriented scenario. This is a good one to teach fundamentals of movement and leader based activation. The differences between the two forces could not be more stark and the benefit of leaders and chain activation make this one an excellent early scenario to play. I would be surprised if the Soviets won many and if they do win they are having excellent luck on the reinforcement rolls. I give it a "3" for the explanatory value.

Solitaire replay of Scenario 6 with 3rd edition rules. The Germans have 3 options, and time is of the essence with the increasing strength of the Soviet position: 1) Firefight at 3 hex range, 2) Assault, and 3) Maneuver. The prior experience and a math evaluation show the Firefight is a poor choice. Assault has to go directly in because any 'softening up' takes too much time. Results then depend on the morale die rolls of the Germans. Maneuver allows closing in to a 5 hex range with 5 possible 'groups' using 3 leaders within 5 or 6 turns, spreading out along a full semicircle from N to S. The Soviets are unlikely to have enough additional rolled-for units to cover all the town hexes exposed to a 5 point rush from the 5 groups.

The Russians did not succesfully roll for a new infantry unit until turn 7. This scenario is dependent on them rolling very well either on reinforcements or on opportunity fire. They did neither. The Germans split into 3 groups, spread out the Russians, and then just walked in.

Rather bland scenario, but is a good one for teaching new players on movement and activation I suppose...
