Overview:

When Army Group North moved toward the River Daugava, the Russian command detailed the 3rd Mechanized Corps to stop them. Over 100 of the Soviet tanks were the new super-heavy KV models. The Germans had no guns which could penetrate these monsters. The 6th Panzer Division was cut off. The following day, the 1st Panzer Division was ordered to reinforce and relieve the 6th, while the Soviet force continued to force its advance. The two efforts immediately collided. . .

2021-05-26(A) Vilis Pavulans vs Matt Velazquez Russian winDid not want ze germans to deploy that 88 so the russians used a very offensive strategy with all but one AFV pushing on in the middle and south part of the map. Ze germans picked off almost all the lighter AFVs with MG fire and their PZIIIs but the KVs managed to storm on ahead and take the hits needed to get in close for the kill. A bit slow unlimbering of the 88 made further advance possible and when everything came down to that all important shot the 88 Gun crew broke and the way ahead opened up to russian victory. Tight game though, with a little luck for the germans they would have had the victory.
2021-05-05(D) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval Russian winUsed Russian balance.A Russian victory at the top of turn 5.
2021-05-05(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval Russian winUsed Russian balance. Last tank, for the "hail-mary", made it through for the win on Turn 5.
2020-10-09(A) Shane Pask vs German winRussians have heaps of time but if the 88 gets time to deploy in a good position they are in trouble. As it was the 88 got one shot (and kill) before being disabled. However, the 9-2 AL claimed 2 kills (one through a narrow gap in the woods for the win), one KV broke its MA on its first shot (later disabled) and one BT was immobilised by a hull hit. Thought my tactics were good for once. All over turn 5.
2020-05-20(D) Jacob Elmqvist vs David Elmqvist German winThe 88 ruled the day. Russians got 2 AFV immobilized which helped the Germans.
