Scenario HaSi019

The problem for the Soviets in this one is that with only three units they will almost certainly be in crossfire. With efficiency even the +1 rolls will result in terrible losses.

It would seem that the best strategy for the Americans is to split up and use the M18s to start the crossfire with their single shot then move, leaving the M4/76s to fire at will thereafter. Through movement the Americans can keep the Stalins off balance and needing to move to defend the road. There simply aren't enough Soviet tanks to maintain positions and fire.

Add to that the woeful rolls that I had for my Soviets (a +5 really should work most of the time...) and you have a recipe for disaster for the H&S men.

This is a very quick playing scenario, as in all tank only battles in PG, with maneuver for crossfire and the following crossed fingers absorbing most of the time. It was fun and quick but nothing really out of the ordinary. I give it a "3".
