During the nine day period that had passed since the Russians had been displaced by a Swedish attack across the Jandeba stream, the new defenders had been digging in and placing wire and mines in anticipation of the expected counterattack. At pre-dawn on 25 May, the defenses came under fire from Russian Artillery. When the barrage lifted, Swedish troops discovered Russian Sappers working their way through the defenses. Right behind the Sappers, more Russian troops poured through the woods, shouting "Urra", "Urra", "Urra". The Swedes replied by shouting the famous order from the defense against the Russian Invasion of 1808: "Släpp ingen jä vel över ån!' -"Let no Brute cross the stream!"

This scenario is conceivably winnable by the Russians but not when your commissar kills off three squad equivalents for failure to rally. The Swedish defender can set up basically two defensive lines, both of which must be penetrated by the attacking Russians. The Russian attacker must also retain a sufficient force to make for the exit. Like all the three other scenarios I've played in this pack, it plays quickly, and the attack and defense are pretty scripted. Also like the other scenarios there is probably only one way to win. Since I've lost all the scenarios I have played from this pack I obviously haven't figured it out yet.
