Early on the Soviet artillery wreaked havoc with the advancing Germans, eliminating far too many steps (good dice rolls). The helicopters were able to get in behind the main Soviet defensive line in the center, while the panzer forces attacked from the front, it took time but once cleared the air landing troops boarded their helicopters, flew off to get behind the next Soviet objective to start the process all over again. As one would expect the helicopters give the Germans mobility as well as spotting for OBA. In this scenario the helicopters with DF were used to help send demoralized Soviets troops to the afterlife.

This was a good battle, at least for me, the Soviets have more troops, well supported by HMG, artillery and mortars but need to cover all the objectives, the Germans needed to push hard at the end to win a minor victory.
