PB. Scn 1. Rear Area Raid, White Russ - The Matrix Games version of East Front II

PanzerBlitz Scenario 1. Russian cavalry raid rear area communications installations during Operation Bagration. Play as Russians vs German AI. The Germans have three fortified communications centres deployed, one on Hill 129 and the other two around Bednost. I've mapped PB force structures onto EF ones, but not hacked the platoon.oob file to create Soviet company sized units. This is a very tough battle for the Russians, the forts are almost impregnable, you need to surround them, use tanks to disrupt as many defenders as possible and then close assault with infantry. The SMG units are key to this, whereas the cavalry can be used as cannon fodder to soak up opp fire. It is adviseable to wipe out the support units outside the forts first (which your tanks can do almost unaided). You will need to take at least one fort to win. A Major Victory is possible, but then again I've played this one a lot.
