The Russians have to get 64CVP either by exiting or enemy casualties in this one. With 10 tanks to start with they have to cause casualties and not to very badly at losing tanks so they can get them off the board. The Russians also get FB possible starting on turn 4 and a 120mm OBA battery.

| Game start - Russian forced come in from Off Board but the Germans do not get Bore Sighting. |
 |
| End of game after 2.5 turns. The Russians were doing well till the turn 3 Defensive Fire phase when the German 75L finally immobilized a Russian tank and then the 37L with the Stielgranate rounds took out three Russian tanks in a row (a less then 10% chance of that happening) . The Russian arty also did not make come into play, first two draws for Arty were red chits. |
We are going to give this another play through with a change to allow the Russian Arty to automatically get a black chit for the first draw. The smoke from that should change up the result a bit and the Russian player will scale back the speed of the assault - he misread the VC thinking that he lost CVP for Russian losses, but they only have to worry about getting off the board and causing German CVP.
