The Germans face two opponents in this scenario, the Soviets and the clock. I was able to finally blast through the Soviets' forward positions (those two hills made things especially difficult) by about turn twelve, but with my infantry and leaders spread out and disrupted, there was no way I was getting into that town. Additionally, I foolishly let two PZ platoons get surrounded, then stuck in an assault by infantry, and finally destroyed by Soviet tanks. I'll ascribe this loss both to the superior play of the Soviets and to my unwillingness to take losses early on. The German desperately needs to get his infantry into the thick of things, even if this means a few of his carriers get lost. I didn't do so, and I lost.
