The Tractor Works

Description
The Tractor Works
While pushing into the industrial area of the city, advancing elements of the 389th Infantry have isolated a contingent of the 308th Rifle Division in the key Dzerhezinsky Tractor Works. The Germans have decided to crush this island of resistance and to help, have brought up a crack team of assault engineers. However, the Russians have noted a critical weakness in the ring around the Tractor Works, and have decided to launch a major couterattack to relieve their garrison there.

Version 0.1. This is a faithful recreation of Squad Leader scenario number 2, by The Avalon Hill Game Company. To achieve victory, the Germans must capture 6 hexes of the Tractor Works building by the end of turn 8. The Russians can win by preventing this. The game currently does not have a method to recreate this victory setup, but a single Victory Point is located on the Tractor Works building, and if the entire building is captured by the end of turn 8, the Germans should be victorious.

The lack of smoke grenades from infantry yet in this game do not hinder the powerful German assault engineers. With proper use of flamethrowers and assaulting, the Tractor Works building should easily fall to the Germans early. The AI does not seem to be able to utilize the huge number of troops to overwhelm and overrun the Germans defending on the west side of the board, so victory should be easy to obtain.
