With Operation Barbarossa, many Estonians saw the opportunity to break free from the Soviet Union. Arms and equipment were retrieved from hidden caches and the struggle for independence began. A strong force commanded by Major Friedrich Kurg made an ambitious attempt to liberate Tarta, Estonia's second largest city. Unexpectedly it was fellow countrymen, Estonian communists, who stood in their way. . .
Attacker: Estonian (Friedrich Kurg's Forest Brothers)
Ob the smallish side but interesting match up of forces and capabilities. Game turned on a Close Combat Phase around turn 6 when a Soviet 426, not only survived CC but was able to withdraw. Soviets ended up winning with 4 squads to 3 in the victory building.

Scenarios this size always come down to a few lucky rolls - Russians won on the strength of a couple of CC's and a commissar who kept passing MCs on his DC run.

To say I got completely diced is irrelevant as I feel any competent Estonian plan should lead to victory for them. There is nothing but a flimsy LMG with at least one hindrance to stop the Estonians from making for the opposite end of the canal en masse. All they need to do once there is leave a bunch of speedbumps in the Russian path to make pushing east the equivalent of yet another bridge crossing with how narrow the terrain is. The Russian reinforcements will then need to decide whether to enter up the middle to try and assist, or push on alone and try to cross a bridge with tanks pushing up their asses. This scenario was a complete waste of time.

I could not get anywhere near the victory building. I couldn't interdict his retreat and I just got shot up as I tried to approach.

ASLOK 2014: Half my squads were wiped out in a bad bypass and that meant I couldn't deploy correctly to gun up Chris' approach. This ended very quickly. I should try it again as people were raving about it.
