Overview:

In the Carpathian Mountains, the STAVKA operational plan for 1944 called for successive assaults to retake all the territory lost to the Nazis. While the “fifth blow” of the plan against Army Group Center was winding down, Marshall Konev's First Ukrainian Front assembled near Brody to deliver the sixth blow. The rugged terrain of the Carpathians helped General Harpe compensate for the overwhelming numerical superiority of the Russians. Not to be denied, Marshal Konev reorganized his operational units into Corps-sized Cavalry Mechanized Groups in which the tank brigades supported the horse cavalry in the deep penetrations.
Attacker: Russian / Partisan (Cavalry Mechanized Group Pilev: 30th Cavalry Division and 219th Tank Brigade and local Partisans)

2021-10-30(D) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval Russian / Partisan win
2021-10-29(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval Russian / Partisan winUsed Russian balance. It was back & forth a couple of times with the Hungarians getting total of 15 Exit VP until last 2 Turns when the Russians managed a SU-85 off to finally tip the balance.
2021-09-06(A) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Russian / Partisan win
2021-09-06(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Russian / Partisan winThe rocket OBA devastated the Hungarians on turn 1 costing two squads and 6 stands or horses. The Hungarians broke both the MMG and the HMG and only 2 squads and the 7-0 managed to escape to the rear. The Russians dominated in the south and managed to to exit most of the cavalry for the win.
2021-06-22(A) Diane Spangler vs Lawrence SpanglerA German / Hungarian win
2021-05-22(D) Lawrence Spangler vs Diane Spangler German / Hungarian win
2017-07-29(A) Gordon Jupp vs Nick Holmshaw Russian / Partisan winExcellent scenario, worth investing the time to play! I pushed down both flanks, particulalrly as one of the Panthers occupied the level 4 hill and frightened my AFV's! The northern flank got destroyed but the southern one suceeded and managed to pip the CVP score of the Hungarians.
2012-08-15(D) Andy Beaton vs Richard Hooks German / Hungarian winRussian rockets failed, but so did the useless German Panthers. It was the Mark IV's that were killing every Russian tank that showed themselves. Those, an extra tough Hungarian MMG squad and Russian pilots in a hurry to get back to the airbase for Borscht Day at the caf gave me the win.
2010-06-01(D) nathan wegener vs Peter W Russian / Partisan win
