The KV tanks lead the Soviet assault. We played the battle as a meeting engagement as we had chosen to play a battle in the middle of the 4th Tank Armies attack after they had overrun the 6th Panzer Divisions front lines and rampaged through their position East of the town of Raseniaia (AKA Rosenie). Deploying 8 recon units the Soviets took first turn and the KV's had lots of Infantry patrols for support.  A handful of German defenders deployed West of the farm track. Mostly on board artillery and observers and the KH18 cannon Heavy AT gun of which the Wehrmacht players had high hopes! Some infantry deployed forward in the woodland on the right flank. The battle for these wood wood rage for most of the game.  The KH18 and an artillery OP team in the field beyond.  The kradschutzen recon patrol race to occupy the farm on the left. They would still be hanging on at the end of the game  An early showing by the VVS pinning artillery guns and destroying our 20mm AA gun in
