WWII Mech War

Chris' Soviets v. Renfrey's Germans
House rukles on 12'x6' table

The Germans are on the right.  2 tank platoons (5 Stugs & 5 MkIVs), 2 infantry platoons (each 6rmg+1mg+1p/f with 4 HTs), a heavy mortar platoon & 4 Pak40's.   All regulars with transports..
The soviets have 4 infantry platoons (each 10 rifles & 2 mgs), 6 med a/t guns, a medium mortar platoon & 2 tank platoons (8 T34/76 & 8 T34/85) all conscripts with no transport. 
The Soviet armour advanced en masse on the near flank & the Stugs fell back.  The MkIVs were on the far flank where they were faced by the Soviet a/tank guns & are now moving left ebhind teh german line to support the Stugs.  The Soviet infatry is advancing in the centre as the germasn infnatyr move to deploy in the wood right of their centte & thei Pak 40's move to the centre.
One of the German infantry platoons awas hit before it could deploy properly & wiped out, but the other deployed on the edge of the wood destroyed the 2 Soviet infantry platoons that attacked them.  
On the near flank, the Stugs fell back intto the dge of the wood on the ridge & disposed of the T34/76s for no loss.
In the centre the Pak 40's were destroyed before they hit anything, but bought time for the MkIVs to come up & take on the T34/85s.  The victoious Stugs joined in & the T34/85's were destroyed for the loss of 1 MkIV.
With no armour left, the Soviets were in a hopeless position & conceded defeat.
