Overview:

Sensing an opportunity to finally breach the Soviet second line of defense south of Kursk, Generaloberst Model committed his elite Panzer-Division 4 supported by the Tigers of schwere Panzer-Abteilung 505 in an effort to split two Soviet Armies. Located in the seam between these forces was the dusty little village of Teploye and its commanding heights behind. The Soviets weren't surprised by Model's move and had placed in his path the 140th Siberian Rifle Division, stiffened by significant armor and artillery support.
Attacker: German (Elements of Panzer-Division 4 and schwere Panzer-Abteilung 505)
Defender: Russian (Elements of 140th Rifle Division / 3rd Anti-Tank Brigade / 79th Tank Brigade)

With most of the Russian units HIP, I picked a side to attack and hoped for the best. Against my friend's setup, I'm not sure there was a "good" side to pick. The AT Guns took out the Tiger and broke a few troops, a hidden ATR took out a HT, and a hidden dug in T-34 immobilized a Mk.IV in a bad location. I kept the other three HTs in reserve hoping to find out where his hidden assets were. By the time I managed to get a few troops within sight of the "Little Village", my friend had redeployed his forces so I was faced with concealed forces in wooden buildings while I was basically sitting in no protection (orchards and grain) with well positioned AT assets to either side. My thin skinned armor was reduced to using smoke dischargers just to protect themselves. Eventually, I tried one rush but was repelled pretty handily so I called it early. I never even got into any of the buildings! Pretty brutal.

The Russian side has too much going for them, IMHO. The forces can set up completely HIP (except for some of the fortifications), no cowering, a commissar, MOL, dug in tanks, two decent ROF 3 AT Guns, an ART Gun, a 50 cal, bore sighting, and 40 points of cheap fortifications for purchase. The Germans certainly have their work cut out for them in this one. With two equal players, I don't recommend this scenario as the Germans.
