Oh dear for the Russians... if the ATGs were in prepared positions at the start they should be spotted as if hidden - which means very short ranges... might have helped Smile

Still, I'm sure Comrade Sutov will have a fine time to reassess his mistakes whilst commanding a Penal Squad Grin

Looks good!

I'm going to have a go at this one soon hopefully - I can field most (if not all) of it, which is a good thing!

Just need to find a willing victim to be the Germans.

Out of interest, what were you doing wrong with the artillery?

Thanks guys. Those NKVD sure are a humourless bunch of chaps.

at Toxic & Steve. Comrade Sutov has been re-indoctrinated as to the rules for sighting dug in units! Smile Unfortunately we play so infrequently that we forget the little nuances of the rules.

atDave The thing we were doing wrong with the artillery was allowing units to be requested more than once in a turn. Although we did sort that out about half way through the game.

Would love to hear how you get on with the scenario Dave.

Although if they'd paid for scheduled arty and nominated one of the aim points on the trench line I s'pose they could have still called it in...
