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.

2023-01-21(D) Jim Bishop vs Alessandro Demichelis German winIMO, this is a bad scenario. It has been rebalanced (A134) but still remains pretty pro-German. As long as the Germans remain loaded in ht's they have too much mobility for a 9 turn game. Even if they don't remain mobile, all they have to do is get into the Gully, under a bridge hex and Abandon for the win. Not a scenario I will every play again.
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(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.
