You are the commander of a combined Soviet Infantry/Tank taskforce, rushing through the remnants of the German defensive line and pushing as deep into enemy held terrain as possible. Your force has come upon a major road bridge, spanning a river and swamp. Scouts have identified German anti-tank positions on the ridge overlooking the bridge. Deeming a frontal attack across the bridge as suicide and a waste of your men, you maneuver into the lowground and swamps underneath the bridge spans and push to the far side.

A really tough battle advancing through swamp. the uneven terrain offers defenders many ambush points. The attack came to a halt whenever there was ambush and rushing forward more often than not to get a better line of fire resulted in death or tiredness which slowed down the whole attack. I am surprised the German surrendered with almost an hour left. I took out a AT and only advanced to mid way between the first and second line before the ridge. The after action map shows the Germans still have quite a fighting force left. Based on the pace I am going, I would still be facing a lot of resistance before I could reach the ridge.
