Yes indeed, it gets a whole lot more interesting. I wonder, would not the river, with the several "Ford" markings on the map, serve as a natural line of battle acting as a separator between forces?

I fought the scenario destroying the bridges, bringing up my 90mm RC rifles, and committing my mounted company to fighting positions to cover the many river fording areas. And, it was working until those nasty Ruskies managed to end up unscathed West of the river. My forward units, East of the river were only tasked to watch, but take out mine clearing units if the opportunity presented itself (filtered armor and ranged out to 5 hexes). The other units high tailed back to the West side (not thinking Dr. Dre here) of the river to setup FPs covering river fording hexes.

Is it possible, for a large force of vehicles and men to traverse a swamp or motor down a paved road without detection, I think not, especially with those little Huskies in the sky doing a marvelous job of spotting.

I like playing Suhiir scenarios. They are large, complicated and require a lot of management. There's no "but" coming, I liked the scenario up to the point where the reinforcement turn placed large formations West of the river and behind and intermixed with my forces.

I can feel it credible if the reinforcement turn placed them, the Russians as follow up troops advancing from East of the river, not West of blown bridges.

That's my two bits now where is the coffee!
