However the KVs and T-34s were slaughtered and the village failed to hold against airdropped FJs. Every Russian down to the last crewmember was killed. End Result DV me with some 20000pints and the CPU with 3000.

The next scenario is starting to look evil, as Airsttrikes have found extensive fortification and at least 4 Companies of KV1s Entrenched. I am also expecting t-34 and KV-1 flank attacks to arrive as reinforcements for the Russians:)

I just finished this battle myslef, and god what a pain it was. You think that you have the **** Commies routed and then rolls in T34's into two seperate combat zones of the map. It really hurts when you realize half your AV assets can't do anything but piss them off. The southern force caused me the most grief, because I had moved the forward element of my southern strike force north of their position, and only my rear guard was behind them. The northern element was just as tuff, but I had a lot more assets up north to deal with them. They made a dumb move and split their forces. Half went south to the village and half went north past my forces that were hiding on the east side of the forest and went for the VL up top. I was able to drop a smoke screen and bring the Northern forces in for rear shots. My Middle elements took care of the guys going south.

All in all it was one of the best scenarios I have played thus far. Well done. Next time I will include more heavy hitters in my core forces.
