Overview:

Despite failing to achieve its main objective, Operation Hubertus had severely mauled the remaining Soviet formations. One of these, the redoubtable 138th Rifle Division, now found itself isolated along the Volga on a 400m x 700m strip of land. Of its remaining regiments, the 650th had but 31 survivors, while the 344th could muster only 123. Daily, the Russians were becoming more cut off, for with the river freezing over, the nightly ferries had to navigate the treacherous ice flows. Still, the troops managed to steadfastly hold on to what little they had, weathering the many crises. One of these occurred when an assault detachment of some 70 Germans armed with machine pistols attacked their thin lines.

2021-10-07(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Russian winA hard fought slugging match. The early hand to hand close combats went the Russians as the German slowly encircled the HQ location in the center of the map. I would break my HMG...because I always break my stuff and then I rolled 11's as Dan's boys surrounded me. I was pinned in the lower level and Dan entered on Turn 7 and wiped them out in CC, but my good order half-squad upstairs was able to keep the Germans from winning this scenario.

2020-06-21(A) Rob MacGinley vs Ian Willey Russian winBig stacks and variable where the end VC is - typical RB fun
2020-04-27(A) Matias Dahlbäck vs David Garvin Russian winI fancy I did some nice moving about, but dallied too much, ignored an opportunity to take out the HMG, and a gambit where I wanted to draw fire in hope to unconceal some troops in the HQ worked a bit TOO well in the "drawing fire"-department.

The last Hail Mary attack on the HQ was brutally rebuked. Few Germans left to even witness their own surrender.
