Has anyone played this Smolensk 41 scenario. I am currently in the middle of it, about turn 12 of 25. So far it is a very good scenario. I would at this point highly recommend it, it really highlights the importance of bridges.
I am currently playing as the German engaged in heavy street fighting in smolensk for the main victory hex. I only have one bridge to cross the river here as all the others have been blown. Rubble on both sides of the bridge make movement such that once my travel mode units cross they can't deploy until the next turn which is playing hell with my infantry. Now as each turn wears down my troops with Fatigue they are disrupting much easier.
My opponent tried to counter from behind my troops but I left recon in the area and picked it up in time to deploy a thin sceen at which point he backed off. I am making progress in the north but it is slow going and it is dificult to tell if they will arrive in time to complete the isolation of the russians holding the city.
I am also attempting to bring up some slow moving foot infantry from the south.
There is another victory hex on the far east edge of the map that I am working on. I am fighting to secure the west side of this river so I can focus on the defensive units on the east side guarding the victory hex. While I have made progress it is has been tough going.
