Overview:

On 17 August 1914, the Russian Minister of Military Affairs summoned Colonel Dobrzanski of the Life Guard Rifle Legion and ordered him to form and equip an "armored automobile machinegun battery". This was quickly carried out using trucks modified by the addition of armor plate and various weaponry. In October 1914 the 1st Automobile Machinegun Company, with 8 Russo-Balt armored cars and a single Mannesmann-Mulag armored truck equipped with a 47mm naval cannon, was sent to the front to serve in the 2nd Army. This unit first saw action against a German attack on 21 November 1914 at Pabianice. . . . 1914 World War I action between Russian and German forces and features two new vehicles: the Russo-Balt armored car and the Mannesmann-Mulag armored truck. The infantry of each side is represented by Conscript MMC that are treated as Green by SSR and may use a version of the Banzai Charge to maneuver “en masse.”

2021-02-06(A) Jobbo Fett vs Hypnobeard German winSo far it's been pretty fun, with the vehicles having just arrived on map [Turn 3]. The Germans have to be careful, make good use of Banzai charges, and remember the limitations of all the conscripts on the map.

Post game edit: Its a tough scenario for the Germans, and I won mostly on an early mistake by the defender who left a flank vulnerable to penetration and subsequent exploitation to grab the necessary victory locations. The Germans have nothing to deal with the vehicles, for which there may be too many for them to be adequately dealt with.
