Scenario RtBr063

This moderate to large scenario is an interesting one as it shows the desperation that the Germans will have to go through to try to defend Seelow heights. The Soviets have a steamroller of a force for this. Tanks, artillery, tank killing aircraft and plenty of infantry to hurl at the Germans. While the Germans just have the high ground and this advantage will evaporate as the Soviets gain the heights. I was impressed with it as the Soviets have the T34/85s and IS-2's in Guard colors as well. There Germans have good AT capabilities, just not many of them. 88's, 75's, Hetzers, and Stug's but the Soviets will be able to loose a few of their tanks to get these guys, if the tank-killer aircraft doesn't. I gave it a 4 because I felt as a FtF it might be lacking something for the Germans. Once the defense is cracked and the Soviets crest the hill the Germans are done for, despite some desperate German attacks. Might be good for someone who is good and someone that is learning the bigger scenarios to play.
