Mech War: Germans v. Soviets

Germans: SteveJ & Jim
Soviets: Mark & Chris

The Germans are on the left.  There are 5 objectives, the three garms, the bridge & the central hill.
The Germans used their half tracks to rush forward & sieze the bridge plus the nearest farm & the hill objective.  They deplyed the MkIVs in the woods to defend their left flank, put the Tigers on the central hill to  do what Tigers do & their Panthers on the right. 
The Soviets advanced behind the woods on the left & centre &defended in the woods & farm on their left.  
Three MkIVs were lost on the left, but with support from the Tigers the Sovet tanks opposing them were destroyed.
The Soviets moved up anti-tank guns but whenever they deployed they were all taken out either by the German artillery or tanks fring HE.
As the Germans held 3 of 5 objectives, the Soviets eventually had to attack.  But t[when tnye did, they were met with a flurry of 6's & the attack failed.  The Sobiets then conceeded.

The Scenario gave the Germasn an easier task as they had transports that allowed them to grab a majotity of the objectives at the start.  They then went on the defensive & held off the Soviet counteratacks which were not well coordinated. It also seemed that the Germans had been hoarding 6's waiting for the attack.
