Overview:

Fired by the enthusiasm of their field commanders, STAVKA approved crossing of the Vistula by troops of the 1st Polish Army into the devastated city. For five days, the shallow bridgehead was bombarded and sporadically attacked by Kaminski’s White Russians, fighting under the German colors. The raw Polish levies conscripted into the 1st Polish Army by the Soviets were no match for veterans. Evacuation to the east bank of the Vistula was approved just as a strong German probe was launched and rapidly turned the withdrawal into a rout. . .

2021-07-19(A) Tommi Lehtinen vs M T Russian / Partisan (AK) winFailure of getting reasonable rolls for my 24 +1, 20 +1 and 16 +1 IFT attacks, hindering my original breakthrough plans on south flank. Surprisingly my best shots were my feeble 6 + 3 shots, which enabled a weak German force on the north flank to cross the bridge there and advance to big stone building. However, even there the advance was halted due the inability of Germans to break the single Russian squad left there (couple of good MC rolls by the Russians and one boxcar CC roll by the Germans). All this resulted the advance the Germans to be reduced to a crawl causing the Germans to concede after their turn 8, when it become evident (after a lucky snake eyes by Russians on 2-2 IFT against a last resort run by a leader + crew + HMG) they can't get enough firepower to the board 8.
2021-07-19(D) M T vs T.L. Russian / Partisan (AK) winI gambled on a forward defense and it paid off this time - managed to contain the German attack for 8 turns for victory. My opponent did have some terrible luck during his PFPh phases, rolling 10s and 11s for his key high-FP shots.

It was an interesting experience to play an "old school" type ASL scenario. Lots of time to develop an attack, with plentiful use of Prep fire.
2021-04-03(A) David Garvin vs Loic Gourdon Russian / Partisan (AK) winIronically, Loic won because he didn't declare No Quarter and took a bunch of Germans prisoner and I lost because I failed to declare No Quarter. I would have eliminated enough CVPs to win the game!

Great match!
2019-12-26(A) Matias Dahlbäck vs Vilis Pavulans German win
2019-12-26(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Matias Dahlbäck German winTough beginning when most of my troops in the sector where Matias attacked were broken by the initial MC and then things only got worse. Matias moved a bit slow in the beginning but managed to capture 4-5 squads as prisoners and then I had only dummies as a defense line. I tried to rush my remaining troops to form a new line but I never managed to get there in time and the whole german army gathered in a corner of board 8 with half of my squads as prisoners. I didn´t stand a chance.
