Deployment: the Russians set up along the west edge of the map. The 1st line infantry squads set up in the northern sector, the Conscripts in the south. All units are within 1 hex of a leader to minimise C&C effects. Most armour will enter in the south, and attack the city from the south.
---
Turn 1 Russian
All Russian units move forward; some of them go OOC and remain back.
Turn 1 German
Nothing happens
---
Turn 2 Russian
A T-34 approaches the village from the south and spots a Pz IVE (showing its rear)(*), which fires smoke on the Russian tank. The T-34 returns fire but – as expected – misses.
Turn 2 German
The tank duel continues: the Pz IV fires smoke again, the T-34 misses.
---
Turn 3 Russian
The T-34 dueling with the Pz IV goes OOC.
Russian infantry continues moving in the woods, in increasingly disordered formation.
Another T-34 moves from the south and is subject to ATR fire.
Turn 3 German
The first T-34 and the Pz IV continue to exchange fire (AP vs Smoke) with no effect at all
The other T-34 fires at a SS squad, that replies with ATR fire (maybe they hope for a critical hit)
---
Turn 4 Russian
Fire Segment:
The T-34 finally manages to kill the Pz IV
Movement Segment:
A T-26 and a BT-5 move east in the northern sector and spot two Pz IIIG in the village square (they are also pointing NE)(*). Other BTs climb the hill west of the village.
The KV-1 moves towards the villlage from the southern road
A BT-7 recons the southern objectives and finds them empty. (**)

Movement Segment
The T-34s and the KV enter Dorogobush and discover several HMG/MMGs and a 88 (which also points NW and is set up in a wooden house, so it will not fire)(*).

The KV-1 fires at a Pz IIIG and breaks down its MA.
Turn 5 German
Fire Segment

A T-34 hits a building (possibly with a critical hit) and breaks/casualty reduces a large stack including a HS w/HMG, a squad w/LMG and the leader and ATR-armed squad who routed there. Only a B** leader with radio survives.
