Battle report: The mission was tried out over the Christmas break and was well received. Initially it looked like a Russian walk over has waves on men and material threatening to swamp the Germans but the big cats chewed through the Russian amour while the Russian focused on clearing the German infantry out of Jabonica, in the end we called it a draw. The Russian had a toe hold in the village but had lostall its armour while the German big tanks prowled arount the battle feild having lost all their infantry support.
