Special Rules
  • Sewer 3
  • Tanks may attempt to ram into a building hex during movement from a non-building hex. To do so, the player controlling the tank rolls dice equal to the tank's firepower against vehicles divided by 4 (round down). A "6" on any die is a success. If the building is weakened, success is automatic.
  • On a successful ram, a tank occupies the target building hex and ends its movement.
  • Place a weakened token on a building hex if a tank enters it.
  • Tanks in building hexes only have LOS to adjacent hexes.
Terrain Features
  • Buildings are destructible.
  • All buildings have a height of 0

Actually I had interpreted 2-4 as Phase 2 and Phase 4.
But it is probably more correct as you say.
I have updated the scenario page on the site, I will update the scenario in the Vassal module at the first opportunity.
Thanks for reporting this!

Do Soviets get t-34s in turns 2-4 (as written in scenario booklet) or in turns 2 & 4, as in this module?
