Overview:

Lithuanian partisans and straggles harried the retreating Red Army, helping to cause them to either fight to the death, or retreat in disarray from all but the major roads. Soviet resistance stiffened in front of the Lithuanian capitol, Kovno. Inside the city local volunteers representing the 'Lithuanian Army Command' seized the radio transmitting station. They broadcast a plea to the Germans to bomb Kovno and the withdrawing Soviet troops. The Soviet withdrawal provided an opportunity for an assault group from the 123rd Reconnaissance Battalion to penetrate the front line.

2015-04-22(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Federico Corso Axis winThe Lithuanians survived my initial Human Wave in the fortified building location, and survived enough to allow soma german 8 morale reinforcement s to pour inside, there was no way to enter in that bloody location, for my russian to win.
Very good scenario, even if the reinforcement options are no brainers (fortified location for the Axis and DCs for the Russian).
