The key for this scenario is the control of the three towns, for each town hex controlled at the end the game the side controlling gains two victory points, the Lithuanians start off with control of 68 VPs.

Once again the Lithuanian Defense Forces (LDF) put up a stubborn defense which frustrated the Soviet advance as they doggedly refused to give up the town on map 4, it took the Soviets 25 turns to finally clear that town of LDF, which did not give them enough time or enough good ordered units to attack the town on map 1.

The main Soviet force advanced on the large town on map 2, which had 42 of the 68 victory points and was defended by the regular Lithuanian Army, supported by their French 75’s & mortars. As the Soviet advance came into range the Lithuanian artillery opened fire and did an excellent job of interdicting the Soviet advance, with a good third of their forces strung out in a line of disrupted and demoralized platoons, luckily for the Soviets they had a 10 rated Kommissar with them. Those Soviets troops that did not brake worked their way to the east of the town just out of small arms range to try and take the town from the rear.

The Lithuanians put up a good fight but eventually succumbed to superior Soviet numbers and fire power.
