This game became somewhat lopsided when the Soviet T34/76s managed to get the better of a Panther and 3 Panzer IVs to win the tank battle aspect of the game. The German infantry were then forced to 'make a run for it' over open ground without armoured support. This proved to be foolhardy and predictably disastrous, especially when the Russian infantry battalion defending the village was reinforced with yet another infantry battalion in turn three.
There was also a sub plot in which a German general was attempting to flee with his looted fine art and antique furniture, which was stored in a number of trucks. This was assumed to have been lost or destroyed as the trucks were all stuck behind a KO'd Panther which was blocking the road.
Either way, not a great day for the German army, it is fair to say. Nor for collectors of fine art and antique furniture.
