Well, the other guy made it pretty easy.  He forgot
what he showed up on the table to do.  I had an
intergrated fire plan, my scout platoon was dismounted
elements scattered singly on hills in forests, I had a
number of dummy counters out, and he was short on
dismounted units.  

Memo:  NEVER take a Russian Tank Batallion into a
fight in a city.  One attached MRC ain't enough if you
lead with two armor-pure companies.
