I was just recalling an LCP scenario that I had played a number of years back that fits the title's description. I can't remember the title but do recall it was from one of the latter LSSAH packs (4? 5? I want to say it was the Lipovez Station one, but that is more a guess than anything). I played it against two different oppos, attacking once and defending once. A competent Russian attacker will wipe the German OOB completely off the map by Turn 4 or so, before German reinforcements came on in Turn 5 or so. The question is how much of the Russian OOB gets bled to do so, and does he have enough troops remaining to stop the counterattack.
I've played many a scenario where this ebb and flow occurs with units of both sides still on map, however scarce they might be. This was the first one though that left a full half Turn or so where one side had zero units on board, even leaving a small window for the attacker to reposition his forces for the oncoming counterattack. At first I thought it a glitch, or a shortcoming by my oppo, but when the sides were switched I got a taste of the same medicine. Talk about demoralizing!!! The first game, I remember having to pep talk my oppo into continuing; and my other oppo gave me a similar one when the tables were turned on me.
It would seem to have been purposefully designed that way, to inflict maximum PMC. Does anyone here have similar examples?
