RE: Scenario of the Month - April 2011: Tank Graveyard at Minsk

Just finished this and have had my memory refreshed. This is an evenly matched scenario where each side rushes to take and hold the objectives on their side of the map, Soviets in the east, Germans—west. I was the Soviets and went first, advancing west as far as I felt safe, then setting up ambushes and hoping my opponent wouldn't stand for a static "draw" match, which is the probable outcome between two very cautious opponents.

I remember playing it years ago and most of the action took place in the north. In this game, almost all took place in the south. I can easily see a game taking place right down the middle. Lots of options.

As you would guess, very little in terms of artillery and infantry. It's all about the tank.
