Overview:

During the destruction of Army Group Center, the German front became pierced at many points. As the battlefield situation became more fluid, reliable information was of crucial importance to both sides. In the midst of the fighting an unusual clash occured on the outskirts of Lepel— unusual in that both recon forces were commanded by seasoned, aggressive leaders. Although the primary responsibility of both groups was to avoid contact and obtain battlefield intelligence, the aggressive nature of both commanders prevailed. A vicious firefight ensued. . .

2025-03-24(D) Herve Duval vs Alex D German winThe German armor leader in his immobilised puma destroyed the last three russian T70 as they were trying to exit.
2025-01-19(A) Jon Jaramillo vs Anthony German win2 hrsAs the Russians, my plan was to send 3 AFVs off to the board edge exit and setup the two Armor Leaders near the southern exit point to try and kill one Puma and then run away. While a great plan in theory, my plan didn't include malfing both MAs, one on an ACQ shot to acquire the exit hex and the other on an IF shot. Three shots total, 2 MALFS. One managed to get his MA back and take out a Puma, but the other permanently broke the MA and spent the next two turns playing a game of cat and mouse with the Pumas that I eventually lost. Final tally, Anthony's Germans 8, My Russians 7. Fun scenario but I told him before we started it could be dicey. The Germans, on the other hand, took like 25 MA shots without breaking an MA.
2024-09-29(D) O Ramaille vs German winAt a moment odds seemed to favour the Russians until one of the two remaining T70 got immobilized and the way to exit was open for the last Puma. A close victory for the Germans with 6 VP to 5.
2024-07-16(A) Terrence Dorsey vs German Russian winSolo play to practice armor. This seems like a balanced scenario good for fast play. Would play again.
2024-01-31(D) Benoit REY vs Christophe Russian win
