Scenario StmD001

The Goliaths lived up to their reputation for being unreliable, both waddled to their targets. the first unit had no effect (rolled a 2) while the second got KO by a Soviet ATR team.

The Soviets put up a good fight, it was not easy for the Stormtroopers at first, but they kept up the pressure eliminating a couple of dug in Soviet positions that opened up a small hole in the Soviet defense.

Threatened with a breakthrough the Soviet armored reserve sprang into action and caught a lone Elefant unit, supported by a company of STUGS in a crossfire, but after four shots the T34s did not strike home (too many low rolls) and the return fire was devastating, the 88L71 gun, wow, 1 shot goodbye T34 platoon. By this time the second Elefant waddled into the fight. The T34s got a little payback, they took out the STUG company before they were turned to scrap metal.

The rest of the Stromtroopers, supported by 2 Elefants, cleared the remaining Soviets from the 40m Hills and entrenchments (2 key VCs), while the rest of the force bypassed the village to exit off the map edge. Except for the dice rolling for all the morale checks, assaults, etc it was not a bad scenario, gave it a 3 but more like a 3.5 some might like it better than others.
