Finished the first mission, savegame in attachment.
I expanded my core with 2 mortars and two captured Russian infantry guns as a little artillery force. I also added a little scout section with two snipers and two scout teams with Panzerfausts and assault rifles.
As a support I got a platoon of pioneers, who wwere rather reluctant to join the attack because they were only there to blow up some bridges, but such is war
I decided to use the Sicherungs to clear the village, with the Pioneers in reserve. Since they were clearly not up to the task, I supported them with one StuG platoon.
My core infantry force and the rest of the Stugs flanked the village from the south. The plan was to either swing north and roll up the village in case the Sicherungs got stuck or to continue the advance directly to the river, since these objectives were more valuable.
During this maneuvre I ran into some kind of charge of the light brigade with exactly three bazillion million penal infantry. I set up in the tree line and mowed them down with one platoon, while I kept the other two moving towards the river.
Some MGs and an at gun opened up, but they were easily silenced by the Stugs. In the village I was able to secure the crossroads, but at high cost to the Sicherungs company. I moved in the pioneers to defend it and mowed down more Russian cannon fodder.
In the east the Russian force was routed and the rest was mopping up and securing the objectives. Sadly my StuG halted 1 hex away from the last one I could have gotten, so it ended in a draw.
I had 80 casualties, the Russians like 500 or something of that order.
Sadly I lost two core troops: A mortar troop which got counter artilleried (forgot to move it after it was empty) and an infantry troop, which is now on the cover of the yearly swim suit issue of "Retarded retreat routes monthly". You earned it.
Very cool scenario.
