Status: offline 		First Fire Segment, first shot:

[RU] SW: MEDIUM MG ID#: 8 is Broken.

Off to a fine start!

.. and ended in a Draw. 22 Rus to 14 Ger. I got the entire south stone building, but at a large cost. Lost half the squads and my leader. The second best leader with the MMG never really recovered and ended up with a broken MMG and a broken Conscript half squad by the end. Northern group gained two hexes of the Northeast building, at great sacrifice. Only a single 1st line squad was left of all my northern forces and he was pinned. :)

I mobbed a German HS in the Center building with 2 full squads. Next thing I know, the bastards have killed all my guys and spawned a leader. Snake eyes.

I built this one during beta testing along with maybe another 15 scenarios, but they were never 100% finished or ready for prime time.

Status: offline 		Major German Victory 29 to 21 with difficulty at very high, FOW on and pathing High. I'll try the Soviets later tonight. Thanks for the scenario. I gave ground in the south and hammered the North and played defensive in the mid till it was cleared.
