Who is the defender? Sounds like the Germans but then why would they want to buy a Flammpanzer...

The Germans were meant to be the attackers but the Soviets have a lot of offensive equipment.
The Flammpanzer was to back up the Ferdinands as they have no MGs, so are vulnerable to infantry attack.
Most of the mission is accurate apart from the Flammpanzer which is the least historical bit of the scenario.

Hey Petcat. Thanks for a great scenario. I've only tried the solo version. Struck me that there are a wicked amount if T 34s to blast through. Took a long while for the beasties to fire off when it was their turn. I bet that's fun when you are the Soviets in multiplayer but was pretty rough as the German in a solo match. Was wondering if you considered modifying to bring the T34s on in reinforcement waves? Maybe after there's some more playtime with it and others have chance to play in solo and multi. Just an idea. I'm going to post it for a challenge in multi and see how it goes.

Played 2 games and both games finished 6 turns in ? Both with starting flags intact ? Strange ?

Reinforcements seem a good idea for multiplayer and singleplayer. I'll work on it.
The LST file should work on Ipad just follow the same instructions above, however I can't test it on Ipad.
Ending on turn 6 seems a bit odd. It should be 21/25 turns from what I can remember. The Soviets should win if they capture one more German flag. The Germans win if they capture all or most of the flags.
I'll try and work on this but I maybe some time.
Thanks.

Good map would be better if game didn't end as soon as axis lost a flag should be given chance to win it back ! I havnt been able to last longer than 10 rounds as axis player maybe it's my poor play but this is heavily allied favoured

Noticed that too. Russians only need to drop smoke and bumrush one of the flags to win every time.
