Following the evening game this past week, I set it up again for Russell and I to run through.
This time I allowed the Sovs to deploy across the whole table width. While I took the Germans, Russell commanded the Sovs and took the wise decisions to not only commit his forces en masse but to concentrate on the German infantry rather than the more exciting business of AT gunnery. This made a lot of sense as when the two German companies were worn down I would no longer be able to hold the ground.
A very satisfactory game which took less than 2 hours to play.
The Germans heading west.
I also include some of Russell’s photos:

The unstoppable Red Wave attack
Excellent game Tim, great looking, exciting, and a lot of fun! What more could you ask for?
Glad the Soviets managed to take the day in the end.
Looks great.
Cheers,
Pete.
Looks terrific fun! Btw the tanks are 1/48 Solido , is that correct ?
Are you thinking of publishing these rules soon?
I'm glad the Russians hit on a winning formula eventually. I'm amazed so many of their infantry survived to make it I to the German front line. Well done Russell!

The attack was certainly pressed with vigour!
Brad DeSantis
What more indeed!

That reminds me - how was your interview with the Commissar?

I’ll do a separate post about the vehicles used in the game. The rules have been altered four times this week alone - so a long way from publication!

I’m sure none of it was down to the poor German commander!
Tim, I am sure the German commander was fine. In just the same way as Goebbels announced the loss of the Sixth Army, "they succumbed to superior numbers and unfavourable circumstances".
I think the slightly longer infantry moves work better.
