BERLIN (EAST)

No. of Turns:  13

Battle Posture:Axis = Defense  Allies = Attack

Per Turn Prestige Boosters: Axis =0 Allies = 4

No.of Units Available for purchase: 
    Axis = 6      Allies = 6

     -  All of the objectives are on the front lines for both sides. 
 The short turn count would normally favor the defender but the Germans must hold on to Berlin and five other objectives. 

No. of Objectives:  13 Axis: hold Berlin & 5 other objectives.
     - Six are held by the Soviets, seven by the Germans. 
 This means the Soviets must either capture three objectives from the Germans and hold them or take Berlin.  If the Soviet player holds Berlin and loses all the others then the game is won. 

Prestige:   Axis = 520    Allies = 1133
     - The numbers of units are about even but the prestige advantage to the Soviets gives them the ability to create new ground units right on the front to assist in the attack.  

New Unit Exp:  Axis = 1 Star   Allies = 2 Stars

Air Superiority
     - The Germans have the best now - the ME262s, HE162 jets,the DO335 will totally dominate the Soviet air units.
  But with only 2 Stukas and little prestige they many not be able to really take advantage of air superiority.

Ground Superiority
     - The tank quality favors the Axis but with the numerical advantage of good quality Soviet units give them the advantage.  Remember, Berlin must hold and the Germans need to keep at least five objectives to win the scenario.
   AXIS:  You need to hold Berlin and 5 other objectives, but Berlin is crucial so keep the Soviets on the other side of the Oder as long as you can.
Counterattacks through gaps in the Red lines toward the rear objectives can draw off enemy
forces (and you may get lucky and take objectives).

ALLIES:  You have superior strength but limited time.  The Germans are spread
fairly thin except around Berlin, so you can make good time seizing the other objectives.  But don't let so many units chase after other objectives that you wind up attacking Berlin too late, and make sure the Germans don't slip past your lines to seize objectives in your rear areas.

General Information
     -  Access to the German interior is good for the Soviets and the lack of German airpower will allow rapid advancement.
  The weather is generally reliable.
  The major obstacle to Soviet advancement is the Oder River.
