Prestige is still tight. Very quick scenario, finished in 9 turns on colonel level with my own core units. Tanks are understrength but still powerful. Get in, get out, it is a raid and rescue.

General, imported core, prestige 12895.

The key here was speed. I led (as usual) with my heavy tanks backed by artillery. I was able to breach the river line on turn 1. I was evacuating units by turn 3. Lost only 2 (one as a sacrificial rear guard). The Aux units (for once) were strong enough to hold out until help arrived. The Russian counter-attack started on turn 6. Lots of tanks, but I was already on the way to the DV. Nothing they could do about it. If everyone else has a fairly easy time, I suggest starting the Russian 2nd wave a turn or two earlier. No issues with game play.

I really enjoyed this scenario a lot. I thought it had great balance and definitely kept the Germans on their toes. I charged across the river to the southeast of Pelleninkin and started rolling up the Soviet force from the south and east, while on the west side of the river I worked my way north clearing out the enemy infantry and artillery. However, I did not count on the heavy Russian armor reserves in the north from the west of the river, and found myself charging back to contain their advance. Great map, and a lot of fun!
