Katyusha rockets and heavy artillery rain down onto the German forward positions from the Soviet General Support Batteries.
The Soviets (white dice) get seven successes, including two 6s. Seven Command Dice have been hit along with two Staff Orders.
The Germans hunker down and get five successes (black dice), including one 6.
The German command is rattled by the bombardment, but are relieved to only discard two Command Dice and one Staff Order. It could have been a lot worse!
