Overview:
Despite a heavy beating, the Soviet Army was still holding the field and, in some areas, giving better than they got. However, the German ranks were thinning out as their manpower resources were called upon time and again to fight just one more battle. Very often, an entire section of the line would be held by occupying the main village in a region with remnants of a battle-weary company. With winter approaching, possession of these small towns became crucial, as they were often the only shelter for miles around. Piepsk was one such village garrisoned by Company A of the 3rd Battalion, 72nd Infantry Regiment. Knowing the German defenses were sparse, elements of the Russian 169th Rifle Regiment were set to attack and overwhelm the hard-pressed defenders at dawn.Attacker: Russian (Remnants of 169th Rifle Regiment)

| 2023-05-22 | (D) Mark Thompson | vs | German (Carl Nogueira) | Russian win | Prospects were bright for the Germans in the early turns when OBA harassing fire broke, disrupted, or eliminated many Russian squads (mostly conscripts) and wounded their 8-0 leader and the HMG killed their 9-1. In the middle turns, the Russians successfully pushed into the village (aided by an uncompromising Commissar), skillfully firing and moving past and capturing isolated German units that in retrospect were probably too far forward or failed to heed the impulse to withdraw a turn earlier. Predictably, fighting coalesced around the 2 level building, which the Russians took on their last Player Turn. In an interesting twist, a successful German prisoner revolt generated 1 HS and 2 unarmed units close enough to a vacant single hex stone building to make a try, but all fell to -1 or -2 fire in the attempt, sealing the Russian win. An oldie, but definitely a goodie. |
