Overview:

With the final Soviet offensive pushing into the German capital, the war in the east was drawing to its conclusion. Soviet attacks in other sectors along the front were designed to keep German units pinned down, preventing them from reinforcing the battle for Berlin. The Red Army made penetrations everywhere along the front, and numerous German units found themselves surrounded and cut off. In the small town of Niesky, a garrison of the once-proud Brandenburg Division was in dire straits. Strong Soviet forces ringed the town, applying steady pressure against the beleaguered Germans. On the 20th of April, the Red Army attempted to take Niesky from its veteran defenders.
Attacker: Russian (1st Guards Cavalry Division, 245th Rifle Division, 82nd Soviet Army, 3rd Guards Tank Army)
Defender: German (Panzerjäger Regiment 1, Sturmpionier Bataillon, Pnzergrenadier Division Brandenburg)

2025-06-02(A) Dan Best vs Dave Mareske German win
2025-06-02(D) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best German winThis is a great game, great replay ability. The Russians attacked the village right off with infantry and suffered heavy losses. Their T85s did much better but eventually were taken out by PFs or the Panther. Lots of fun, would play again.
2024-12-28(D) S. Slunt vs Tim Osborne German winThe Russians got pinned down from so very accurate HMG fire with the direction of the 10-2. The Russian finally conceded During the German Turn 7 Prep fire when the 5th T-35 was turned into a burning wreck. The Germans were is full control of all of the buildings and were posed to get 20VP off the map edge on Turn 8
2022-08-22(D) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval Russian win
2022-08-21(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval Russian winLots of good action. Germans held out fairly well until Turn 10 entry of the SU-122's that helped break the will of the final defenders.
