I move up a second loaded halftrack.
The Russian plays a command action card and takes another shot with his AT gun.
He misses.

I rush to the AT guns flank and manage to eliminate it.

I move up my foot units and this is how the end of Turn 1 looks on field.

Turn 2

Some reinforcements appear.
A Pz II for the Germans and a T26 for the Russians.
My Pz II moves forward and takes a couple shots at the Russian tank but misses.

A Russian Maxim mg fires from the heavy woods and hits a German Rifle squad.
And then destroys the squad with another shot.

To be continued,..

I move in with a Rifle squad and a halftack.
I score a hit on the Maxim.

I move my 2 halftracks to the lodge grounds and unload the Rifle squads.
This is the end of turn 2.

Turn 3

More reinforcements arrive.
Another PzII for the Germans and a second T26 for the Russians.
After missing the T26, it returns fire and scores a hit on my PzII.

A German squad near the lodge is ambushed and destroyed instantly by a hidden Rifle squad.

I move a halftrack next to the lodge.
It is attacked and damaged by an NKVD squad.

The NKVD squad fires again, and the halftrack goes up in flames.

My other halftrack on the grounds moves up and scores a hit on the NKVD squad.
As my Rifle squad moves forward to join in the attack, it is hit in the flank by a second NKVD squad hidden in some cabins.

Here's the field at the end of turn 3.
My tanks and foot troops press forward.
The Russian Maxim mg still survives.
The Russian T26s block the roadway hexes.
My units attacking the lodge are taking a beating.

Turn 4

Things start to get busy.
In the heavy woods, hidden Russian Rifle squads ambush my troops. They destroy a German Rifle squad and damage an Lmg.
My exposed Rifle squad on the lodge grounds take fire from the NKVD squad in the cabins and a sniper( sniper survived and carried over from FF 1 ).

My halftrack crashes the lodge, assaults and eliminates the one NKVD squad.
The German Rifle squad in the open is destroyed by the Russian sniper.

A Russian T26 moves on a PzII.
It scores a hit.

Turn 5

My halftrack goes for another VP in the lodge.
The Commisar unit is hidden there and the halftrack is damaged.

I move on a T26, and my PzII scores a kill on the Russian tank.

As my forces press on, I lose another Lmg in the deep woods.
The remaining Russian T26 falls back to the lodge.
At this point we had to leave the campaign.
This FF became a meatgrinder for my German forces.
