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)

2013-01-17(A) Martí Cabré vs Jesús Pié Russian winThis game took 15 months of PBEM. I took the Russians and decided to move first the infantry and then wait for the reinforcements instead of going directly for the fight. I used artillery to launch some smoke on the MGs to approach the village and some HE on the village which destroyed a couple of ammo trucks. The German MGs killed some Russian units on the way. The medium and heavy tanks appeared but they started rolling 6,6 when firing and 5 of 9 tanks suffered recall (the 3 SU and 2 T34). Only 2 T34 survived the battle.

I attacked the village using a huge human wave from the woods in the northwest and after that the cavalry launched an attack from the north side, when the infantry had entered the village. Inside the village the Panther held infantry CC attacks for four or five turns, immobilized and killing its attackers. The Russian number finally started cracking the German defense and I captured three buildings.

With 50CVP in casualties and 3 buildings I was still needed 5VP to win. I attacked the building in X2 and tried to kill more units (crews, HS...). On the last turn I managed to get 55CVP and conquered the last building during the enemy RtPh, scoring 75VP and the victory.

I find it extraordinary that after 15 months of playing the scenario was decided on the last player turn.
