Overview:

As the Russian 8th Guards Army was expanding its bridgehead on the Vistula, they met with stiff German resistance. The Germans mounted a number of counterattacks in an effort to eliminate the Russian toehold on the west bank, leading with the Hermann Goering Division, which had just been brought up from Warsaw. After six German attacks failed to achieve the needed breakthrough, a seventh assault supported by Tiger tanks forced the situation to its inconclusive end.
Attacker: German (Panzer Division Hermann Goering)

2021-07-17(A) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval Russian win
2021-07-17(D) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval Russian winUsed German balance. Strong forward defense caused mayhem early on, racking up many CVP, but losing all units in P6 building after the dust settled. Weak units left to defend the Bridges but the SU-122 got off a lucky side shot vs an 88L and clinched the CVP needed to deny German victory.
2021-05-03(A) Jacob Elmqvist vs Asad Rustum Russian win
2021-05-03(D) Asad Rustum vs Jacob Elmqvist Russian winGreat scenario with lots of options for the Russians and the Germans. The Germans cleared 4P6 by turn 7 but lost to the casualty cap not far after that.
2020-10-07(A) Matias Dahlbäck vs Matt Velazquez Russian winA 10+ month PBEM game came to an end with a 2h live session. I had it, I HAD IT, but I had also taken risks and placed units that....

Look. I had a halftrack with a squad as passengers that were freezing his two last squads. Halftrack with squads went POOF in my last player turn. After that he needed one more CVP to clinch it, and I had left a hero alone (to block him from reaching a VP-hex) two hexes away. He assault moves in with one squad. That breaks. The second squad assault moves in, takes the shots, passes everything and could then advance into CC with the hero. 4:1, the Russian reaches the CVP cap and wins.

There were SO MANY WAYS I could've stopped that. If I had only done THIS instead of THAT.

I'm not crying, you're crying.
