Russian cavalry units cannot stand against Ger inf. Almost like glass, no staying power.

Reddog

Map layout is good, objective values should be increased around the map center. Elimination of troops brings more points than the objectives and the Allied player is out gunned and out manned.

Good Hunting,

Fairly easy for Axis victory

This scenario presents some interesting problems for both sides. For those who are tired of pushing panthers and T-34s around, this scenario provides and opportunity to practice providing security for a light infantry group advance in varied terrain against an opponent well equipped to raid an harass you in your efforts to secure the area. Artillery is king in this scenario. Excellent map!

Pretty much a one sided affair. Soviet cavalry and light tanks cannot stand up against the Germans early in the war. The scenario also had to many objective hexes which the Soviets can't cover. Against equal players it will be a German victory most of the time.
