Panzer Grenadier Deluxe again Eastern Front this time

Another PzGr scenario played today 'Ogledow' set in August 1944 on the Eastern Front.
Stephen used his Russians and I took the Germans.
Another great game with this playable set of WW2 rules.
My 2 Royal Tigers did diddly squat (only managed to damage a T34 and a JSII) and suffered 3 (yes 3) double 6 rolls against them in a row seeing therefore one brew up and the other damaged !
I had 3 PzIVGs which dueled with several T34/76 but only managed to kill one.
The single Russian airstrike later took out 2 of these whilst the other had been damaged then routed off table.
I had a Panther that however done sterling work (despite going low on ammo after first shot) taking out 3 T35/85s.
However my Infantry losses were heavy losing 3 out of 3 Platoons (1 entirely to an MMG at close range rolling of course a 12) giving Ivans the field.
Both sides Artillery (we each had 2 Direct and 1 General support missions) were fairly ineffective.
