In this somewhat unusual scenario, a force of WWII Russians, spearheaded by 2 T34/85s, had to 'escape' off the opposite side of the table. To complicate their objective, a German force had to try and stop them.
Bizarrely, the Germans seemed to have more troops and equipment than the Russians, despite the nature of the Russian objective. Indeed, a number of German units didn't even get into action, they were so numerous. Also, the availability of a road block and barbed wire entanglements forced the Soviets into attempting to leave the table at the only point available to them - the far top corner of the board.
This resulted in practically the entire game being played in the top corner 1ft x 1ft square, leave the rest of the 6' x 4' table free from any combat whatsoever!
At one point this looked like 'shooting fish in a barrel at a turkey shoot' for the Germans, but, to everyone's surprise, when the Victory Points were calculated, the Russians had won by 16 to 14 points. So go figure!
