2023-05-28(A) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. German winOld school scenario, plenty of squads and a lot of turns. I played this scenario a few times (but with just a vague memory of it) when it first came out. I was the Germans and, depending on the first turn, there is plenty of time to achieve the victory conditions. I suppose there are two schools of thought about how to set up the Russian defense. One is to set up front, hope a lot of squads don't break because of SSR2, and contest all the bridges. The other is to be conservative and keep most of the troops near board 20 and adjust to how the Germans attack. My friend did the latter.

He set up strong to the south with not many squads defending the bridges, especially the northern two. With few troops defending the northern bridges, I set up all my men over on that side. He surprisingly made it through most of the MC's in relatively good shape, but the lone squad defending bridge X3 broke and the dash was on.

I ran my men up the northern side as he repositioned his men to stop the flood. My men brushed aside the token defense over there, but by midgame, it was still anyone's game. However, once I made it across the 20A6-C5 road, it was all but over. He had a few men in the B and C hexrows, but not enough to stop the mass of humanity rushing towards them. Hex 20B4 became the key to victory. I put the 9-2, two squads, and a HMG/MMG combo in there. It effectively cut off any hope of squads getting to the sliver of Board 8 I was going after. After a few suicide dashes by the Russians/Partisans trying to cross the double firelanes covering the 20C4-I1 road failed, my friend called it mid turn 7.

Decent scenario. I liked how there was a lot of time so I didn't feel like I had to constantly rush. It took two weekends, though, so it's not a fast playing scenario.
