Mech War: Soviets v. Germans

Chris: Soviets
Jim: Geramns
Rules: Camp Cromwell house rules for WWII 15mm.
Scenario:  Key positions with 8 objectives with map deployment.

Pic from Soviet side.
The Soviets have T34/76's & infantry on both flanks, T34/85's in the centre with support from a/tank guns & infantry.
The Germans have all their armour in the centre. Their armoured infnantry is on both flanks & in the centre. 
The Panzers advance to engage the T34/85's & medium a/tank guns in the centre.  The Germans have superior numbers, but the Soviets engage from cover.  
The Germans concede their left flank & shift infnatry to their right.
The Soviets move their rigth flank T34/76s towards the centre & their left flank T34's towards the German's right flank.
The Germans turned 2 of their MKIVs to face the threat to their right flank, but they were picked off by hot shooting.  A second pair of MkIVs met the same fate.  That distraction plus more good shhoting allowed the Soviets to odetroy the panzers in the centre.
German infnatry took the two central objecyives (road juctions.
They alkso attacked teh ridge on their right, but the Soviet infnatry their were dug in & supported by T34/76s & the attack was destroyed. 

Chris had a good plan that wasn't stuffed up by the dice gods & the Soviets won a well deserved decisive victory.
