Played on VASSAL, as part of my Academy process.

The Soviets set up with their HMG and a bunch of supporting INF in the fields awaiting the Germans. The 76.2mm was towards the back of the board, where it had a good view of most of the battlefield, with the mortars in the orchards south east of the State Farm. The Germans approached with an infantry force heading up the center, a little more infantry and the StuG coming over the hill, and the mortars heading for the the hills to set up.

This game was mostly casualty free for the 1st half, with the Soviets getting unlucky on an initiative flip and losing a step with the troops in the eastern field. The Germans could not seem to get the Soviets in the central fields to break, and with only 10 turns didn't have time to lose, so eventually moved in for the assault. The StuGs and their accompanying infantry were harassed by Soviet artillery, and the StuG was afraid to even come in extended range of the AT guns. With the clock ticking down, the Germans called in their airstrike, and the HS129 demoralized the 76.2mm, which fled when it failed its rally roll.

Assaults finally cleared the center fields and the Germans headed for the town en masse, having only a couple of turns to try to take it. Point blank shots disrupted and demoralized the Soviet troops in town, and an assault finally got them to flee on the last turn and the Germans claimed victory.

A very simple, fast playing scenario that did a good job at showing off the system.
