After some other games we returned to our Winter Storm campaign with scenario 5: Encirclement of Pokhlebin.
With two Panzer III's and the usual abundance of LMG's on the German side I thought there was no way that the Soviets would win.
But they did!
Not by engaging the Germans though, but by racing across the table as fast as possible.
The hero of the day was the Soviet Leytenant who faced two squads of German panzergrenadiere during a heroic (but short) last stand after trying to rescue his Maxim crew.

Excellent and engaging report - great sense of dramatic tension and even a little derring-do!
