This is an interesting and quick play scenario, and a good one to learn or practice cavalry tactics. Both sides enter the map in what is essentially a meeting engagement. The Russians have a pure cavalry force supported by a 7.62mm Field Gun. The Germans have a bicycle mounted Landwehr force supported by two cavalry battalions and have to prevent the Russians from advancing off the west edge while keeping their casualties down. Both sides marched onto the map, formed a line and dismounted and spent most of the game firing away at each other causing little casualties. As the end of the game neared some German units broke and ran and the Germans feel back to protect them and try to prevent the Russians from streaming off the board. In the last three turns, the Russians remounted and charged for the board edge. All but one unit made it and this proved the downfall of the Russians as they had to get 2 times as many points as the Germans. The Russians scored 16 and the Germans 9. If that one unit would have survived the opportunity fire, the Russians would have one. Nothing like a game that goes down to the last roll. |
