Scenario EFDx098

This one was a Russian victory (German abdication) mediated by two major factors:

  1. Russian player rolled insanely for reinforcements (exhausted the unit supply by turn 12).

  2. KV-1's might as well have been Klingon battle cruisers as far as the German PzIII and PzIVs were concerned (some bad die rolling helped this perception). The 88-mm got in one shot only to then be subject to a lucky hit by Soviet OBA (nothing like good old double demoralization).

Might have to give this one another try for fairness, but the way the die rolls were going here, I felt like wearing a "DEMORALIZED" t-shirt.
