Scenario SioL001

The Russians put up a defensive line on board 15, with the forest in the middle of the defensive works. The Germans made some early mistakes and it cost them some time at the beginning of the fight. The Germans dissipated their attack and they left their troops too long in the trucks. An attack on either side of the forest (but not both) would have been better. (???) The leaving of the troops in their conveyances got them shot up pretty badly. Around 1000-1030, both sides of the forest broke and a deliberate retreat toward Uritsk began covered by the KV-1 unit. Here is where the Russian Commander made his first error, he left a couple of stacks in the forest and could not get them out in time to help with the defense of Uritsk. After some time reconfiguring the German forces for the assault on the town. The assault began around two hours before the end of the scenario and edged into town enough for the win.
