Weekend OCS results: Vitebsk taken on last die roll

Crabby Old Gamer and I decided to sit down and re learn Operational Combat Series by MMP Games. What we did was take the intro scenario where you have capture the two hexes of Vitebsk and we followed the authors walk through here:

We followed it to the letter and while we did not get the same results in terms of some die rolls we did manage to take the last hex of the city with one final assault roll that forced a retreat and allowed us to advance into the hex. All in all we lost one German Motorcycle unit that was used as recon. It took about 4 hours to go through the entire thing. In the end we both walked away knowing OCS pretty well but the games main complication comes in how to approach every attack and prepare ahead which I really stink at.
