4 July 1941. Elements of the 7th SS Regiment regrouped from its earlier debacle and prepared for a renewed assault. The Soviets launched a spoiling attack, however, catching the SS forces surprised. The Soviets achieved a stunning and complete victory, routing the SS forces in little more than an hour.

This game was mercifully quick. After 5 turns I called it an inevitable Soviet victory. The Soviets had destroyed 14 steps, and were in assault hexes with 5 other German steps. The Soviets lost only one step. Like scenario #3, this was a poor scenario design, as the SS forces have such poor morale they can't be effective in combat. The only hope of an SS victory is to flee and deny combat to the Soviets, hoping to avoid losing 18 steps before time runs out. Just a poor, poor design. I would skip this scenario unless you really feel a need to play all of the Edelweiss scenarios.
