Another though line breaking scenario for the soviets
As a Russian time is your biggest enemy. Damn the minefields and take the extra losses that the engineers can save you. Taking a 100 point hex is worth a thousand men in points. You won't get a victory just by eliminating Germans.
I was able to break through two defense lines, but never really threatened the final two objectives. Due to limited time, soviets need to keep attacking the whole time. However, it becomes tough going once they advance beyond the range of their heavy artillery. Victory would have required a one or two encirclements, but my opponent fought well and was able to retreat every time there was a significant threat of encirclement.
