Overview:

Operation Citadel had been underway for five days and things were not going well for the German attack. The original plan to seize the town of Korocha was scrapped and 6th Panzer Division was tasked with breaking through the Soviet defenses and driving as hard as possible towards Prokhorovka to link up with II SS-Panzer Corps. In the vicinity of Melikhovo, the last defense line, 6th Panzer attacked with flamethrower tanks and the battle of Melikhovo had begun. . .
Attacker: German (6th Panzer Division, III Panzer Corps)

2023-10-26(A) M T vs V.K. German winMy first time playing with FT tanks.

The scenario is inherently dicy - we had my FT always roll under its X while my opponent only got the KV-1 on Turn 4. But still, we both agreed that it's a fun and interesting scenario. There's enough things going on and it plays fast. Would absolutely play again.
2023-06-24(D) Yuqi Xiong vs Warf German winThis time defeat as Russian.
Flame Pz III was unstoppable compared to Pz IV H, the latter could hardly threaten the reinforcing KV1E. Beacause I overweighed the possiblity to DI the Flame tank, I deployed the 45LL on my right wing, but it malfed on a second shot. At the same time, Flame tank kept rolling on my left. Some kill stack also found their way to my last VP building. In the end, with KV1E malfed its MA and all my squads broke, WF completed his mission.
2023-06-24(A) David Ramsey vs Simon Taylor German winThis one is dicey by the nature of the KV-1's entrance and the FT tank's luck. Fun scenario though that might be decided more by dice than strategy. I'd be tempted to agree a turn that the KV enters on if playing in a serious tournament game.
2023-06-22(D) Paul Legg vs Bob Eburne German winDouble One 2023 - Friendly - This went all the way to a close combat in the final building. The PzIV managed to break it's MA but the FT tank seemed to have limitless fuel. My ATG was discovered on turn one when the PzIV drove straight onto it and after surviving my attack dropped it's riders on me. The atr team breifly managed to shock the PzIV, but only til the following RPh.
2023-06-22(A) Indy Lagu vs Nick Ranson German winThe Flammpanzer and the Russian reinforcement dr make this one
a bit dicey. In our playing, the PzIII's FT didn't fail and the KV-1
appeared on turn 2. On German 3, the KV-1 was dispatched and
the Russians were all but gone. I think I captured 4 of the 6.5 squads.

Done by turn 3.

Worth a playing as FT tanks are always fun.
2023-06-15(A) Simon Staniforth vs Mick AllenA German winPlayed the Attacking Germans this time and was helped by the KV not showing up until T4. I was able to keep the PzIV and Flamm tanks alive and push sharply through the village. Russians tried some Kindling of hexes T4 / S5 / R5 but by the time they Blazed I had pushed past and secured the final VC building in T4. Russian counter attack supported by the oncoming KV failed to dislodge the 9-2 and his buddies. Bizarre but I didn’t roll a single Russian SAN of “4” through the whole game
2023-05-27(A) Yuqi Xiong vs Gregory Russian winA dicey mini scenario. On T1 my IVH tried to fire a smoke but a boxcar MALFed the MA :(
Russian KV-1 entered just in time to knock out the IVH.
On T2 my flame III tank was knocked out by hip 45LL when crossing the street. Temporarily rate this scenario a 6, would like to see what will happen if dice roll were normal lol.
2022-12-29(D) Larry Rohlfing vs Tom Repetti German win
2022-11-17(A) Ian Morris vs Andy Bagley Russian winClose game, I conceded on turn 4 when the squad accompanying the 9-2 went Berserk and therefore couldn’t get into CC against his 9-1/MMG combo.
2022-09-20(A) Niels Ludvigsen vs Flemming Scott Christensen German win
2022-07-06(A) Shane Pask vs German winI think my initial advance was too cautious - I did not want to risk my flamethrowing tank and the other was posted awaiting the arrival of the KV. On the last turn no Germans (or Russians) rallied and I needed to win 2 CC for victory - HS vs pinned leader (leader with ambush) and squad & 9-2 vs squad and hero. I won both for the win.
2022-06-29(D) Andy Bagley vs Mike Grogan Russian winGreat little scenario with plenty of action and stuff to do for both sides. Lots of skulking from the Russians in the first couple of turns, mainly trying to avoid his FT tank, which then fell to a rear shot from my hidden AT Gun. From turn three onwards I held my ground, forcing the Germans into several close-quarters gun battles and CC engagements. This made things quite dicey, and both of us won CC's where the odds were against us, including one that allowed the Germans to capture building U6. In the end though, the Germans just didn't have enough troops to finish the job, and building T4 held out for the Russian win. Can't complain about the luck overall: my KV tank didn't arrive until turn 4 but I had enough decent MC and TC DRs to hold the Germans up.
2022-02-04(A) Jason Nichols vs Mike Grogan German winPlayed as part of IR PBEM tournament. Played live on VASL as a substitute to Cibik's Ridge as couldn't get the map to load corectly.
Mike resigned when my FT tank broke his leader and squad in DFF on Turn 3. The dice gods were not kind to Mike in this game. He didn’t get his KV tank and without it the Russians struggle to stem the tide of the German firepower.

The Germans pushed quickly into the village and the FT tank provided support that the Russians couldn’t stand up to. I brought the Mk IV up the left along the road and was heading toward a concealed stack in the wheatfield with the intention of over-running them. Unfortunately that was where Mike had hidden his ATG. He took a shot after changing CA and missed with APCR. He then took another with AP and hit but didn’t kill. I then changed CA and proceeded to overrun his ATG expending 5 MP to enter the hex. Of course Mike retained rate and fired 5 shots at the tank but no kill. I then overran his crew with an 8 +2 and the crew broke. They then couldn’t rout and were eliminated.

The Germans captured two of the three victory hexes and Mike was moving his last squad and leader through the grain to reinforce the remaining building when he was caught by the FT tank. That was the end of game.

An enjoyable game with some interesting twists and turns. One of my broken half-squads rallied with snakes and generated an 8-1 leader.
2022-01-18(D) Simon Staniforth vs Russian winMy third playing of this one somehow always as the Russians. As usual hectic action in the village with in this playing my ATG and KV both popping up with APCR to nail the German AFVs before they could do serious damage in the end game. Left to the 9-2, 8-1 and supported squads / HS to assault the final victory building but they just came up short getting broken adjacent. Always a fun game
2021-11-12(A) Pascal Boileau vs Stephane Renaudin Russian winA small but thrilling scenario. Many twists and turns have spiced the course of the game and the issue of the game was ultimately decided in the very last CC.
2021-08-06(D) Will Willow vs Carl Herzog Russian winTiT21
2020-04-14(A) Jeff B vs Tom Mueller German win1.5 hrsI setup a kill stack to hopefully deal with one of his MGs and clear the way for the rest of my onboard infantry. They did the job nicely, killing the squad and wounding the leader, though my 9-2 wounded from his sniper as an aftereffect. My offboard infantry rushed in concealed under cover of the tank. Turn 2 saw my men move up to the front line under cover of concealment, while my tanks softened up the defense. My straggling 9-2 was popped again by the sniper, this time mortally. The next turn saw my Panzer knocked out by his AT gun, but more Russian infantry went down to my FT and some stellar infantry shooting (including a key break of his MG squad). This unit rolled snakes in its next RPh, only to see them disrupt. Turn 4 saw my FT tank survive a rear point blank ATR shot and a whiff from the KV-1, as it took out the last good order Russian squad. With only the ATR HS, the gun, and the KV-1 left, and my infantry having yet to even see a broken unit, the Russians called it a day.
2020-03-27(D) X von Marwitz vs Lars-Peder Jensen Russian winA quick 4 1/2 turn scenario set in Russia, July 1943. The Russians Guards unit has to defend some village buildings with some infantry aided by a 45LL ATR. A KV-1 M41 will appear to reinforce either turn 1-4 based on a dr. The Germans have the same number of squads as the Russians. Their main assets are a Flamm-Pz III, a 9-2 leader and a PzIVH. The potential weakness of the scenario is the SSR that defines the arrival of the Russian KV tank. If you are lucky and it arrives on turn 1, it might be too good for the Russians. If it arrives late on turn 4, then it might be too good for the Germans. If used for tournaments, I would set in place a special rule defining entry of the KV tank on either turn 2 or 3.

I had the defending Russians and decided to defend the village and resist the attempt for a front-line defence despite the German having to cross Open Ground. The reason for that is that the TEM in the village is better, Russian infantry is scarce and the VC require the buildings to be held. With only two Russian Leaders, rallying would be tricky in any case and falling back from a forward position difficult. Maybe placing an outpost there could be an option but likely, it would be quickly overwhelmed. The Germans attacked with their Schwerpunkt on their right, which is probably the best route to take. My opponent was somewhat cautious, however, fearing the HIP ATG taking out his FT-tank on the approach. Good for me because this cost him some time. The Russians were lucky rolling a 1 for their reinforcement dr, so the KV tank entered at the earliest possible time, trundling into the village to settle between the Walls in U4. Since I did not count on the tank arriving early, I set up my HIP ATG in S3 with CA towards T1. In Y6 a HIP 237+ATG was laying in wait for the German PzIV in case of a flanking attempt. In X3 I had positioned a 447+LMG with the 7-0 to cover that flank. Intention was for the 7-0 to fall back into the U6 victory building if possible while the 9-1 initially placed there would move forward to the R6 building to rally broken Russians falling back from the cluster of buildings within that road net. Two 447s with the MMG would make the last stand in the U6 victory building with some FireLane possibilities.

During German Turn 2, the Germans moved into a line of attack east of the R2-Y2 road, while the PzIV prepared to flank me via teh AA6 road. Russian Turn 2 saw me skulking leaving the Germans hardly any fire option with all Russian HIP units still HIP.

In German Turn 3 the Germans began to attack in earnest, moving his tank to attack S3 where a squad of mine was in view and my ATG still hidden. Hoping for ROF, I changed CA to fire at the FT-tank figuring I'd die anyway during the MPh or AFPh if I kept HIP. No Hit, no ROF. But I unnerved the FT-tank which smashed into the R1 woods where he bogged. I fired again at better odds despite going for Intensive Fire and APCR (Russians are Guards). No APCR. Another shot, miss and Malfed the ATR. Uh-oh... German "volunteer" HS took to the road on U3 and T2 but I managed to pin one and break the other. Two 467+LMG+LMG just reached R1 beneath the bogged FT-tank, after the 9-2+friends in T0 had broken the Russian defending 447 in R3. My HIP ATR popped up to shoot the PzIV in the back to no effect, which continued on to freeze the X3 position after surviving another TK shot to the side by the LMG. The Russian Sniper lethally wounded the German 8-1. Because the FT-tank had bogged, it was not able to fire during its MPh but was now eagerly doing so in the German AFPh. He rolled an ill-fated 11 to X-out the FT on the first shot, still breaking the Russian 447 in S3 while the ATG crew passed. A 467 ADJACENT to X3 broke and ELR'ed the 447+LMG while the leader had previously sneaked out in time. During the APh, a 467+LMG each advanced into the Road in S2 and R2. Besides the bad luck of the Germans with ragard to their vital FT-tank, my KV-tank sat firmly in U4.

Russian Turn 3 predecided the game. My glorious crew managed to repair the ATG. I was not able to rally any broken Infantry, though. Luckily, the German infantry had taken some punishment as well having lost two HS and the 8-1, two HS broken, an most importantly the FT-tank X'ed and bogged. During Russian PrepFire, the Russian ATG crew handled its Gun magnificently, breaking the two ADJACENT 467+LMG and afterwards calmly shrugging of the fire of the very concerned 9-2 and seemingly winning the war all by itself. The KV-tank added a bit to the havoc. Altogether, the German attack was in a shambles.

In German Turn 4, his Panzer IV attempted to have a go at my KV-tank from the flank but as I had Wall Advantage and he could not circumvent the Wall without using ESB, I let him approach and stop ADJACENT despite having to turn my turret two hexspines. My first shot missed as expected, tried Intensive Fire with APCR needing a 6 for both but rolled to high. Again with normal AP but this time I hit and killed the Panzer IV. When I broke a German 467 Assault Moving into T3, the Germans conceded.

Altogether, I have been very lucky in this game:

My KV-1 M40 came in on Turn 1.
The Germans X'ed their vital FT-tank on the first shot.
My ATG performed just gloriously.

Given these circumstances no one will be surprised about the German win. Kudos to my opponent who endured the dice with dignity.
2020-02-08(A) Richard Jenulis vs Bill Owen Russian winNWASL Championship 2020 - open play
Over by the end of turn 2. Everything that could go wrong for the Germans did. Both AFV's malfunctioned their MA on the first shot. Random selection on a critical hit ended with a roll of 4/4/4, taking out the 9-2 leader and two squads. 12 on rally attempts, etc. Please don't make me relive this. Not to take anything away from Bill's play. He played flawlessly and is always a good opponent. If I had to have one of these games, I was glad it was against Bill.

2019-03-09(A) Ric Hammond vs Scott Thompson German win
2019-01-20(A) Louis Langdeau vs Andrew S Russian winI called this one ahead of time. I told Andy that any time I have a flamethrower, it goes dead on the very first shot of the game. Lo and behold, I rolled my tank up to his front line unit and immediately rolled boxcars.
I still tried to make a play of it, but Andy had good positioning on his ATR and AT gun. I managed to get a couple very good shots with my PzIV, but after it got double tapped by his AT, I was needing a big run of luck to save the day and did not get it.
Not my favorite scenario in the world. There's too many small rolls that can have a huge effect on the game, and if any of them line up against one side, the game is pretty much over. I think there are better small scenarios to play if you only have a few hours.
2018-12-09(D) Scott Fischbein vs Mark Pandori Russian winDice were decidedly on the Russian side for this one. Mark malfed his VFT on his first attack with it, and I was rolling low the whole game (including a "1" so that my KV entered on the first turn). Called it during turn 4.
2018-12-09(D) Scott Fischbein vs Mark Pandori Russian winPlayed a second game after the first one was a blowout due mostly to hot rolls on my part (and poor rolls on Mark's part!) Second game was a lot closer. My AT gun took out the German PZIV on the first turn, but was in turn killed by the FT. After that one useful attack, the FT X-d on the very next roll. Mark continued to make good use of it with some useful VBM freezes of my victory building MMG/9-1 stack. After malfing the MA on my KV-1, it still got MVP with a crucial snake eyes against a big German stack in the middle of the street. Without that extra manpower, Mark didn't have enough to take the final building, and the Russians prevailed again. A fun, quick playing scenario, which can be quite dicey due to the length and the combination of AFV-based luck (x-ing the FT, rolling for entry of the KV, etc.)
2018-11-03(D) David Garvin vs Jack Daniels Russian win
2018-10-07(A) Vic Lauterbach vs RC German winThe attack looked hopeless after the first two turns. The HIP 45LL killed the PzIV, then the KV killed the FlammPz, but persistence paid off. Fire from the 9-2 directed stack broke the key defenders. Very exciting and tense right to the end.

ATR nailed the other Pz. His 9-2 raked me over and left all my guys broke. Conceded Kraut T4 - never got the KV1

2014-01-08(A) Jeff T vs Jerry German winJerry setup strong on his right flank (the long road) so I pushed in along the Russian left into the village. He immobilized the Panzer in the street, but I quickly dispatched his exposed gun crew and my flame tank went to work. Jerry couldn't seem to roll better than 8 or 9 on his morale checks. By the time his KV came in on turn 4, I had his entire force broken and I was in all the victory buildings. German win. Fun little scenario for a weeknight.
2013-03-23(D) Michael Rodgers vs Mike Allexenberg Russian winQuick playing scenario.
2012-11-19(D) Simon Staniforth vs Russian win
2012-11-06(D) patrick palma vs Chuck Dye German win
2012-11-04(A) Chuck Dye vs patrick palma German winBy the time the KV1 entered on turn three the German attack was well into town. The AT gun Malfed then Xed on the repair roll. Germans got a CH on the last Building and were able to advance in on the last turn.
2012-08-30(A) Jeff T vs John Russian winLooked good through the first half turn. John rolled the KV to enter on Turn 1 and he promptly burned my PzIV with a bounding fire shot that seriously turned the advantage to the Russians. The flame tank helped break the front line of the Russians, but it was one step forward and *break* two steps back all scenario long for the Germans. Russian defensive fire wounded two German leaders and kept the attacking Germans at about half strength with squads failing morale checks and pinning. Rock solid defense in layers by John and time turning against the Germans led to some overly bold and unwise decisions. The Russians held on easily to repulse the Krauts. Good win for John.
2012-08-30(D) John Van Natta vs Jeff T. Russian winThis is fun little scenario that we both had played before. My KV entered on turn one and immediately flamed his Panzer IV with a bounding fire shot after a failed motion attempt by the Panzer. The German attack never really got going as I got good attack rolls and he couldn't seem to pass a morale check. The flame tank was effective early, but ran out of fuel late and was destroyed by a critical hit while attempting to bypass freeze my 9-1 and his boys.
2012-08-04(D) Jeff T vs Lyle Russian win1st play. Lyle got a bit aggressive and ran his PzIII into my AT Gun which took it out. The KV entered on turn 2 and got 2 KIA results against running infantry, resulting in loss of 2 squads and an 8-1 leader. My HIP unit surprised him and broke another squad and just like that the German attack was halted. Lyle conceded on Turn 3.
2012-08-04(D) Jeff T vs Lyle Russian win2nd playing. This one was much closer and up in the air. The Russian HIP unit had two -2 shots at moving infantry and couldn't pin or break anyone. He was taken out in close combat. The KV again entered on Turn 2, moved adjacent to the flame panzer and fired...a dud. He was killed by the Pz on an intensive fire shot. The Germans moved into town and found the AT Gun, eventually killing the crew in CC after they broke the gun. The flame tank took out a squad in victory building three, starting a flame, however they also created a Russian hero which would prove to be the difference. The Germans swept through the middle of the town and by the final turn, it came down to two close combats. A 12 on 4 (3-1 with a 9-2 leader) went to the Germans. A 5-2 (2-1) with an 8-1 leader and squad up against the Russian 9-1 and Hero went for no effect and they remained locked in Melee to give the Russians the victory by the narrowest of margins. Fun scenario.

2012-03-16(A) Martí Cabré vs Jesús Pareja Russian winA real close game with opportunities for both players. My FT Pz started a fire that eventually left my attack without LOS to the targets. I got a lucky APCR shot against the Russian KV and I took 2 of the 3 buildings, with last building empty of enemies, my tank in bypass in its Location and two pinned squads adjacent to it, but I could not grasp Control.
