Been playing a lot of scenarios recently.
Lost BFP101 Panzer Spirit as the Russians. This is a fun, if insane, fight. I attacked on the right but not aggressively enough, giving the Germans time to pick apart my tanks. by turn 5 I had take most of the houses on the right but at such great cost that I could not take more. My suggestion is that the Russians need to be even more aggresive. One group fo T-34s need to dash across the open ground turn 1 and vbm as many houses on the right as they can and then the second set of T-34s should armoured assault as much infantry as they can get across. Ideally the Russian tanks want to get in an tight with the german infantry (who are PF free and thus harder for the Marder's to train their sights on them.
Also if an experienced player is playing the Germans vs an inexperienced I recommend removing the 50L as balance. I found it gave the Germans that much more of a balance. That 3 rate mean it can really go on a run and do a lot of damage.
Also lost ASL 33 The Cossacks are Coming as the Partisan (Armies of Oblivion version). A fun, wacky fight. Partisan doesn't have a chance in this one. If they set up across the hills as I did the Croatians can form an blob hooking south through the woods and pick the Partisans apart. If the Partisan's set up in the woods in the south they have to hold onto a very narrow band of road that would be easy to push them away from.
I think the best solution for the Partisan may be to set up entirely on hill 621 and push into the coming Cossacks with their whole force. It'll take the Croatians a few turns to get there and by then ideally the Cossacks may have been taken down.
This is not to say don't play this scenario. Cavalry is fun. It is a good way to learn how to try to get the best out of weak forces. But it is not a fair fight.
