Soviets are on the attack, they need to capture the bridge intact, clear the N-S Road and eliminate more German steps. The SS are primarily an infantry force with two batteries of ATGs, both are Pak41s but they are going up against several Soviet tank brigades, a motor rifle brigade and a SPG regiment.

Unfortunately for the Soviets the Germans demolished the bridge on the first turn, thus denying one VCs early in the game. From that point on the Soviets spent the rest of the game trying to clear the road while keeping casualties low, they were not able to do that.
