Soviets are out matched for this scenario as the Germans have of 3 batteries of OBA, 6 of 81mm mortars and the potential for air support each turn. With that said the Soviets put up a good fight for the town on map 4 and extracted a heavy price on the German forces as they tried to clear the town. The Germans struggled until their engineers got into the fight, their +1 assault modifier definitely helped. In the end the Germans were able to clear the town and exit 10 plus steps off the south map edge at the end of play.
