Overview:

While pushing into the industrial area of the city, advancing elements of the 389th Infantry Division isolated a contingent of the 308th Rifle Division in the crucial Dzerhezinsky Tractor Works. The German command decided to crush this island of resistance and to help, brought up a crack team of assault engineers. However, the Russians had noted a critical weakness in the ring around the Tractor Works and had decided to launch a major counterattack to relieve their garrison there.

2021-05-20(D) Steve Smit vs Chris German win2nd live game in a long time. Germans moved first, with all flamethrowers inoperable on their first shots. However they managed to get across the road in into the factory for a grinding assault engineer blast a thon. The Russian pushed hard to get into the factory from the north but couldn't get enough firepower into the factory before it fell. Good game. Lots learned.
2021-03-16(D) Grant Hewitt vs Lee Hyde Russian winRather weighted towards the Russians, this one. German moved first. Good sniper activity in turn 1 gave the advancing Russians the advantage, advancing rapidly to and reinforcing the factory. The Germans conceded at the end of their turn 4, despite the Russians foolishly casualty reducing an entire stack of 5-2-7s and wounding a 9-1 leader with boxcars on FPF.
2020-04-04(D) Gordon Jupp vs Simon Church Russian winThe German Engineers made rapid progress but so did the Russian Counter attacking troops, with the Factory in German hands at T4 it looked grim for the Russians but the reinforcing troops plus rallying of brokies swung the balance and by T6 the factory was retaken completely; large number of snipers!
2019-10-21(D) David Garvin vs Nick Faryna Russian win
2019-02-03(D) O Ramaille vs Russian winThe German engineers from Greup were not as effective as expected. It was Tienham with his men that first entered the factory and would held the southern portion during a long time. The Stahler group tried to resist the Russian counter-attck from the 295th Rifle Division, but leaks in the defense quickly began to appear. In the factory, the Germans resisted a very long time against overwhelming odds but in the last turn they were forced to rout away. A complete Russian victory despite heavy losses.
