ASL scenario DB 192 - Express for Leningrad

 A scenario I totally goofed up on as the Germans.  Tycho handed me a solid defeat (even ignoring the whine at the end, I was on the path to losing).  The Germans have to take two factories and having one AFV north of the River with functional main armament to win.

Scenario start.  The ground is soft and woods are light (which I did not properly read up on).  Finally the two circled buildings are factories and I kept forgetting I could drive my tanks right on in to them...



Two and a half turns later out of a 5.5 turn game I concede.  The four Russian tanks were due on the map in the Russian half of the turn and I was down to a single functional AFV.  The gun had just revealed itself this defensive fire and instantly got two crits against vehicles it should have had only a small chance of killing.  But all my own fault for messing up too many rules and not making proper use of the factory for the tanks to stage in.
