Quit after six turns. Bizarre map, where tanks cannot move through clear terrain. No reason for either side to attack
IMHO, this scenario has issues. Given comparable player quality, whomever attacks will lose. VP hexes need to be reworked & spread out.
Very cool scenario. I found that the Germans need to slit their already divided forces in order to hold their own objectives and to aggressively move quickly to capture the Russian objectives. The Germans may have to run the gauntlet if discovered.
Not worth playing, An awful one sided affair.
“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”― George Orwell (1984)
Good defensive positions for the Germans. Russians need to really think about how to attack, or they'll be easily picked off.
Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us. --Walt Kelly
Made the mistake of attacking piecemeal, before the whole force was in place. Think we could have done better if I had waited.
