Russian Tactics

I planned on sacrificing my squads in building F8 to draw off some German forces. I did put the 7-0 Leader here to stiffen them a bit but I figured I could lose him. I planned a stiffer fight in L5. The best units and reinforcements were planned for P5.

Make sure the SMCs stay spread out to force the German to clear the buildings hex by hex.

When the reinforcements arrive have one squad lead the way from 010-08 to soak up any German First Fire. Then the rest of the units can move from P10-P8 without suffering Subsequent First Fire.

At some point, a squad or half squad with a LMG and Leader in  N9 is important to cover the street from N4-N8. This will help split the German forces on either side of the street. A squad in M9 will act as a speed bump to protect this squad and LMG from being overrun.

Result

Game ended at the beginning of Russian turn 6 with the Russians firmly in control of building O6 and surrounding block.
