Overview:

Time was running out for the Germans surrounded in Stalingrad. On December 12, the LVII Armored Corps launched Operation Wintergewitter (“Winter Tempest”), the offensive to relieve VI Army. Spearheading the drive was the veteran 6th Panzer Division, equipped with an entirely new allocation of AFVs. Driving north from Koteinkovo, the Germans easily cut through the Soviet 51st Army. On the morning of the second day of Wintergewitter, 6th Panzer reached and crossed the Askay River after capturing a bridge at Zalivsky. Driving forward with all speed, the lead elements of the division entered the village of Verkhne-Kurnsky in the late afternoon, held by the powerful Fifth Shock Army.

2025-01-27(D) Douglas Leslie vs Eric Partizan Eric German winA disaster from start to finish for my defending Russians. Eric rolled a Panzer adjacent to my concealed ATR HS on Turn One. The HS kept concealment and held fire with the intention of trying for a DI shot in the next PFPh. One snake eyes followed by a dr of 1 later it was vapourised without firing a shot. Eric conducted a textbook assault against Russian infantry that was powerless to do any damage to the enemy armour. My three T34s then
arrived on Turn Two. They fared no better than their infantry colleagues. The first went down to a defensive fire shot by a MKIV. The second found a good HD position in a wadi and lines up the MK IV that killed its colleague. It missed its bounding fire shot and then broke its MA in the next turn. The third scored a hit against a HD MK IV which turned out to be a dud and subsequently broke its gun with an intensive fire shot. At this point I decided to call it a day.
