PLAYER OPINIONS ON THE SCENARIO
"For the most part, the Russians avoided direct conflict until it was absolutely necessary. Important actions were as follows: A major close assault of a T34/85 in the woods/road by SS infantry failed to kill the tank. A second T34/85 killed a Panther, halftrack and a convoy truck. The Russian 9-1 leader and 628 killed a truck at long range."
"Then the luck turned, the Russians lost 2 main guns, the Germans got 2 critical hits, rolled a triple 1 killing the Russian 9 leader and 3 if his engineers through smoke. That was the point where the Russian chance of a win collapsed. I do not think my Panthers missed a shot after turn 2."
"The Russian played a solid game. Unfortunately for him, my dice were hot, especially when it came to hitting and killing his tanks."
"As for the scenario itself, I don't see how the results are even close to even: the Germans have ONE asset, the Panzers on high, and without that, it's over. Two or three good rolls by the Russians and the Germans are out of it. The convoy rules are ludicrous; The Road to Wiltz makes more sense than this one. "
