2021-03-18(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Alessandro Levarato Russian win
2020-11-18(A) Tim Wiegmann vs Mike Grogan Russian winThe scenario doesn't appear too difficult for the Germans at first hand, but a closer look at the OOB reveals some challenges. The 3 AFVs are nice to provide some initial cover for an armoured assault, but with a puny 1 FP BMG and a HE depletion number of 7, they are laughably ill-equipped to engage enemy infantry, and it's only the Nahverteidigungswaffe that protects them from being totally steamrolled.
My opponent made very good use of his HMG with the 9-1 leader, placing it initially on the first floor of W3 and later on in U5. This weapon dominated the battlefield, and caused the German attackers so many casualties that the game was over all but officially by the end of turn 4.
2020-05-23(D) Andy Beaton vs Richard Hooks Russian win
2019-11-23(A) Raoul Duke vs BL Russian winA remarkably unsatisfying scenario. German armor isn't even remotely suited to the task at hand, with limited HE ammunition and a dearth of MGs. I'd have happily traded all of the JgPz IVs for a Panther or Tiger.
2019-08-10(A) Christian Knudsen vs Andrew Luden Russian winA fun little scenario! We both wanted the Russkis, so I ended up as the Germans with the Balance. His gun was set up in a spot where I was able to get it with my infantry pretty quickly, but then I was nowhere near aggressive enough with my AFVs, and Andrew was able to get his last squad thru a swath of defensive fire, and then win a CC to take back just one of the VC buildings on the last turn. Good fun!
