On first play Russians were hoping to go straight into the gully, that didn't happen, instead a firefight did that cost the Russians two squads and the MMG before they finally got in the gully, along with the. The German reinforcement crossed the board North to South (the minefield and wire by the reservoir were placed by the Russians to slow this wild man down) to take on the Russians survivors in the gullies and promptly lost his first close combat with an 8:3 advantage. The Russian reinforcements came on at O10 and survived the fire of a German squad and LMG to get off for 14VP. This forced the Germans to move forward however a series of early time triggers ended the attack.
