Scenario EFDx016

Really now. This one just appears so unfair for the Soviets. Their infanty are outnumbered 2:1, they have lower morale, inferior artillery, and the Germans can rush into the town and the Soviets need to take it off them.

I played 6 turns of the 36 available and the Germans hadn't taken a scratch. Soviets were down 7 steps already, with their infantry hiding from the German HMGs and OBA in the forest. The T-35 are nice, but at long range against dug-in defenders (which is how the Germans spent their first two turns), they have little chance of inflicting a step loss. Considering there are 32 steps of German infantry, plus AT Guns & StuGIII, I actually had the Soviets give up and withdraw.

This is as broken as an EF scenario can get a big let down. I think I'll go back to France now...

Scenario Rating: 1/5 - This scenario makes me feel guilty for any other 1/5s I've given, except for those cave battles...
