Friday Afternoon Bolt Action

John's Soviets v. Jim's Grenadiers in 1,100 pts Hold Until Relieved Scenario.  German's defending.
The Germans have to hold the railway station at the end of the game. They deployed 2 infantry squads in the station & the adjacent orchard with their 1st wave & reserves coming on from the near side.
The Soviets sent 2 infantry squads thru the farm yard & orchard to attack the objective, supporting them with fire from the flank.  The Germans attacked thru the wood on their left flank with fire support of their own to distract some of the Soviet support fire.  The Soviet fire support failed to significantly weaken the defence - their first line managed some MAD in the orchard, but their 2nd line couldn't take the station.

I think the Tiger defending the cornfield had an influence on the result.
