Scenario Of The Month - October: Crisis on the Oder

So let us kick start our new monthly feature with a classic: Surviving the Crisis on the Oder

LOL, some six months wiser, I actually begin to 'get' some of the hints and tips here:

Using the long range of German gunnery was a key here. Also, as both sides played their game of hide&seek at times, it was important to stack proper amount of panzers to certain key hexes, to assure there was enough opportunity fire to keep those beasts at bay.

Additionally, I have now come into conclusion myself that I actually prefer to play without the Armour Facing optional rule.

AF on, ambushes definitively are a lot of fun when succesful, but at times they just create an unbelievable amount of havoc. A long scenario can be decided if given a chance for destructive butt shots. Having said that, AF OFF gives at least to me a more balanced feeling.

This was a difficult scenario, as infantry actually played a second fiddle here. As effective as the Panzer Grenadiers are against enemy armour, they basically had to stay hidden on this one, and only come out when it was safe to do show.

What a fun scenario. Would like to try it as a Russian player one day.
