Great video. One thing to remember on the Rally order is you still have to pass an unmodified order test (roll the test and ignore pins). I think the Rally order that was taken at 52:30 just rolled the D6+1 and didn’t ever pass the test. I love this game and appreciate you guys doing these battle reports. Keep up the great work!

Played out the same scenario. Very tough for the Soviet player if the German bombardment has any level of success and if the Nebelwerfer finds its mark. In my case the bombardment eliminated a sniper team and the Nebelwerfer took 2 units off of the board

Reminds me a bit of a Korean War river/bridge crossing scenario I played ages ago. I was a UN force and opened with a heavy artillery bombardment of the opposite shore and smoke on the bridge. Hoping to make the Chinese think I was going for the bridge, I feinted there while launching an amphibious assault - man, what a mess that all was - not the best plan and ended with a small lodgement and huge casualty toll.

Great game. Great video. I played this scenario on Monday. I was the Germans. I lost heavily. The preliminary bombardment failed to come in. Then the canny Soviet player just concentrated on my boats. They are really fragile. Wounding on only a 4+, then destroying on a 4+, he had destroyed my boats before I was able to launch my assault.
