Overview:

XIX Mechanized Crops had done its best to contain the Germans of Army Group South and was now ordered to form part of the northern pincer of a counterattack around an 1,800 square mile triangle formed by the towns of Lutsk, Dubno, and Brody. Due to losses and a lack of reliable communications, the Soviets only had the equivalent of an understrength division available; however, when commanders expressed concerns about this, commissars remained unsympathetic and reminded the leaders that the cost of non-compliance was personally high. With that dubious encouragement, Soviet tanks advanced toward Dubno with only a vague idea of their objectives, and who would be on their flanks.

2025-11-29(A) Dave Mareske vs Craig Renier Russian winThe Russians sped up the right flank catching most of the Germans on their left. They were able to get a couple of squads on board 76 by turn 2 plus the BT tanks. This was enough to give the Germans some headaches getting back to protect the buildings. Tank destruction was pretty even, but the Russians ended up with more buildings than it needed for the win. Some notable events were one of the KV-1 tanks broke every weapon it had, including its RMG, it was eventually recalled. The other KV-1 died to a CH from the 105. The Germans defense was set for a left flank attack and then had trouble shifting the defense. One of their 37L AT guns broke and then rolled a 6 on repair. It was a fun scenario with definite replay ability.
2024-11-21(A) Andy Bagley vs Neil Brunger German win6.53 hrsVery nice scenario, if perhaps a little pro-German. I tried the "left hook" strategy, coming over the hill to take the shortest route to the Board 76 buildings. Sure enough, his HIP guns were there, so I took casualties in securing the hill, and didn't then have enough troops left to complete the task. I had also sent my two T-26 M31 tanks towards the centre of the map in an attempt to delay the Germans shifting from East to West - a tactic which succeeded at first but failed later when both these tanks were lost. By the end on my turn 5 I still had numerical superiority in AFV, but only one victory building and no chance of securing another four, so I resigned.

2024-06-13(A) Ben B vs Germans Russian winThis game came down to CC in the final Russian half turn. The Russians were down to 4 squads, a single leader, and 6 AFVs. The only reason they were able to eek out the win was because the German defense had difficulty shifting north in time to cover the mad dash to the stone buildings.
2021-12-27(D) Rich Weiley vs Dave Wallace Russian winSoviets steamrolled down the left overwhelming the defence on the hill for minimal loss. The contribution of the three German guns to the defence was limited to immobilising a single BT tank (and that was achieved by the howitzer crew in CC). I also entered the German tanks on the less optimum east edge which limited their ability to get into the battle while the Soviet attack was well coordinated so I couldn't find an opening to launch an effective armoured counterattack. Conceded in German turn 5 by which time my opponent held six buildings and it was obvious I lacked the strength to counterattack.
