This gem of a scenario pits a Soviet force consisting of a river flotilla of monitors & gunboats, marines and cavalry trying to defend a river crossing of the Dnepr River by elements of a German mountain division supported by an air landing force, the only problem is the Germans do not have a flotilla to defend their transports, which got blown away on the first turn when the Soviets won the initiative before the German attack helicopters could get on the map.

So for the next six turns the attack helicopters fought a running battle with the Soviet Flotilla while the German mountain troops ate Wiener Schnitzel, drank Schnapps and watched the show since they had no way to cross the river.

Then to the sound of “Ride to the Valkyries” the transport helicopters come over the banks of the Dnepr to deposit their troops deep behind the Soviet line, only to dash back across the river to pick up the mountain troops.

The Soviet cavalry counterattacked the German LZ but their cavalry charges were broken up with heavy losses, what remained fell back to the town on map 4 where heavy house to house fighting ensued while the Germans cleared the town. In the meantime the Soviet Marines, unengaged, moved to counter the LZs as well but their attack was met the fresh mountain troops recently flown in from the west bank, the marines put up a good fight but were overcome by sheer numbers as the Gebirgsjager were fully deployed.
