More Russian air attacks knock out Marders defending Groningen:
An SU-24 bombs the woods near Bernberg with laser guided bombs. Miraculously, both bombs miss their target.
On the flank toward Bernberg the Soviet Tank battalion decided discretion was the better part of valor and decided to exit the battlefield off the NATO table edge, scoring the VP, instead of trying to assault the Pz Grens holding the objective in the woods.
The Soviet MRR then assaulted the Pz Grens holding the woods in the center of the field. This caused the Pz Grens to fall back out of the battle.
The battle ended with the Pz. Grens still holding the objective, but the Soviets had not lost any combat units, had advanced two tank battalions off the NATO board edge and scored a major victory.
Things are going much better for the Soviets on the Southern Route than the Northern Route thus far. The final battle of the first day of the campaign will feature the 44th Gds Tank Rgt. making a Hasty Attack.

Nicely done - looking forward to the AAR from the Sov Hasty Attack first few turns.
What a nail biter!
