| 2025-01-30 | (D) Jeff B | vs | Magnus Rimvall | | Russian win | 14 hrs | Magnus decided to make his push to the Citadel north of the canal. My screening force of course took a bop on the nose (one squad broke and a HS lost in CC), but I made him pay by eliminating a squad and breaking another and, more importantly, slowing his push. On the Citadel side I fared much worse, breaking a LMG and three squads, with no damage to the Germans (but denying them concealment entirely). During my half of the turn I lucked out and rolled a "6" for movement, allowing me to make an immediate push on the Citadel. I managed to gain a two-hex toehold, helped by a berserk conscript. I still had three broken squads, and now another broken LMG, but I was joined by a dead squad and two brokies from the Germans (both toting MGs), and theirs would be much tougher to bounce back. On the other side of the board I lost my forward cupola to a StuG. Turn 2 saw him take back control of the Citadel hexes I had taken, but I was whittling down his force here with another HS lost and another squad broken to join the remaining two from before. The StuGs drove behind my screening force to limit their routs and apply some pressure, but I was still keeping his progress slow. Despite rolling a mediocre "3," my half of Turn 2 was very successful as I knocked him down to two good order squads and regained my foothold in the Citadel by occupying half the ground. I lost 2.5 squads to a HS for the Germans and a busted MA. None too soon either, as Turn 3 saw his force able to commence their approach in earnest, and my western attack force would have to become my new screening force. I broke one of my guns taking a shot at some approaching infantry, allowing a StuG to drive up unmolested to the base of the Citadel. Turn 3 saw the Russians retain their hold on the Citadel ground as the two good order German squads struggled just to maintain their status. POWs were taken by both sides, a real boon for the Russians allowing them precious deployment, and an unfortunate must for the Germans if they wanted to keep mopping up on the table. The German advance was stymied by a mass of Russian bodies in the west. My half of the turn saw me roll a respectable "4," and PFPh saw me bust the last two GO German squads. But the Citadel was still being held by the unbroken 9-2, who would continue to hold out for some time yet. This allowed my infantry an opportunity to sneak up on the StuG from multiple directions, and I was able to take it out in CC. My AT gun was repaired, but so was the StuG's MA which had drove up to harass me. Next turn I would prevail in the battle to who knocked whom out first. Meanwhile the Germans continued to sweep aside my western defenders, and I took more lumps than I dished out, but delay was the name of the game. Bottom of Turn 5 finally saw me deal with the pesky 9-2, and all that remained of gaining control of the building was a broken squad adjacent to me. If he didn't self-rally he'd be surrendering to me during Turn 6 . This is exactly what happened, and just in time too because the Germans were now on the outskirts. They finally were in position to drop some OBA, and did so quite effectively, killing/breaking some Russians and keeping me out of the western side of the building. This opened the door for them on Turn 7 to get a toehold of their own back in the Citadel. Thankfully I had a cupola and gun on each side of the building as protection. Turn 8 would be the big push, but the German OBA let them down when they were looking for some much-needed smoke, first red-chitting on an extra draw, and then red-chitting completely out when starting over. Despite this they were still able to extend their gains within the building. But there were just too many Russians still alive, including a few on the upper levels, and with time running too low they called it a day at the top of Turn 9. Once again, always fun to play this classic. |

| 2022-02-13 | (D) David Garvin | vs | Loic Gourdon | | Russian win | | What a slug fest. It took me nine turns, but I finally wrested control of that Citadel from Loic. Great battle! |
| 2022-01-26 | (A) David Garvin | vs | Loic Gourdon | | German win | | |
| 2021-08-01 | (D) Martí Cabré | vs | Fermín Retamero | | German win | | My setup was very bad with not enough weight on the Eastern side, which the Germans took advantage by crossing the canal in force and reaching the Citadel in turn 3. The Russians were already inside fighting, but it was hopeless to hold the German units while also fighting inside so I conceded. |
| 2020-08-28 | (D) wayne baumber | vs | | | Russian win | | The Russians eliminated the German isolated Citadel units fairly quickly while slowing the relieving the units enough to ensure that the German player had not enough time to recapture the Citadel. Seems to be slightly pro Russian. |

| 2018-05-30 | (A) Juan Garrido | vs | Jorbetbal | | German win | | Early German victory probably due to a not very satisfactory setup by the Russians. |
| 2018-02-19 | (A) David Garvin | vs | Christian Knudsen | | Russian win | | |
| 2018-02-19 | (D) Christian Knudsen | vs | David Garvin | | Russian win | | I set up to take the building, and just delay elsewhere, and that's pretty much what happened. I would rate this, however, as a minor dicing, with David as the victim as he showed a real talent for blowing MCs. Heroes of the Soviet Union to the cupolas, which not only smashed up his building defenders, but managed to repair immediately twice to stay in the action and keep those lovely DM counters on David's hapless landsers. A super fun scenario against a great opponent |

| 2017-09-23 | (A) Jeff B | vs | Shaun Andrews | | German win | 3 hrs | I feel I have yet to get a true feel for this scenario as both times I've played this they effectively ended very early. Thankfully I was on the delivering end of both games. The first time I played this back in 2014 my Russians rolled a "6" their first turn and made an aggressive push on the Citadel, managing to get two squads into stone cover. The Germans had setup about 40% of their force south of the church and the rest started in the west. Despite the rather weakly protected front in the south the Germans were tentative in crossing the canal early. Meanwhile the Citadel continued to get barraged and by the end of Turn 4 only a single encircled German squad was left holed up in the upper level. With reinforcements still a good ways off the game was all but over. In this playing I took what my previous opponent had shown me to be a good route of attack in the south and went all-in in my push across the canal. The Citadel was surrounded by some heavy firepower, the biggest threat being a dual MMG nest led by the 9-2. The door was opened for the Russians on Turn one already when they had some great attacks but, unfortunately for them, they had rolled a "1" on their move roll so they couldn't capitalize. The Germans and Russians traded blow for blow, both sides breaking the other, only to rally back and return the favor. Eventually the MMG nest was busted up, allowing the ground level to be the safe haven the Germans had initially hoped it would be. Meanwhile the Germans had stormed across the canal in force. They were probably only a couple turns away without enough resistance in their path so the Russians conceded. |

| 2017-07-08 | (D) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | | Russian win | | Bloody game from start to finish. Russian delaying forces on Board 23 were able to stall the primary German Schwerpunkt trying to get to the H3 Building. Meanwhile the Russians were able to drive quickly into the H3 building and take control. Great, hard fought game. |

| 2016-06-25 | (D) Dave Mareske | vs | Ryan Ellett | | Russian win | | Germans split their forces and ended up conceding by turn 5. The victory building was soon to fall. All the tanks fell to the Russian 45Ls with some good rolls. |

| 2013-04-29 | (D) Martí Cabré | vs | Eloi Soler | | German win | | Eloi surprised me concentrating all his infantry in the edge of the map, directly towards the Citadel, so my outer defenses were useless. He crossed the channel without taking losses and all went good for him. I could not break a single German unit in six turns, all my leaders were wounded by German sniper, the Russian sniper did nothing, I fired twenty gun shots against the Citadel building and all were misses, etc. etc. I even faild PBF shots against Open Ground hexes. In turn six or seven I conceded when all the German reinforcement units were entering the Citadel to join their brothers in the party there. |
| 2012-11-19 | (A) Luke Sineath | vs | Ryan Dukeman | | German win | | |
| 2012-10-04 | (A) Richard Carter | vs | David Langer | | German win | | He concentrated a lot of firepower on keeping my troops at bay, but this made it difficult for him to take the victory building. The lesson we learned is that the russians probably need to set up their cupolas in los of the victory building.
I was able to keep guys out of line of fire for much of the game denying him a real foothold in the building til the last turn really. By then I was too spread out for him to gain control. |
| 2012-09-01 | (D) Shane Pask | vs | | | German win | | Russian set up was highly successful in stopping the reinforcements at the bridge from reaching the church. However, it failed in two ways: it did not stop the Germans from crossing the canal, and it did not put enough pressure on the church. |
