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. . .
Attacker: Russian (Recon elements, 30th Guards Tank Corps)

2023-01-15(A) David Garvin vs Varick Ready German winGermans win by 1 point. After plugging one of my tanks on a bounding first fire shot, needed an original DR of 2 TH, Varick avoided me and rightfully exited the map, giving him 9 points. Of course, my guys then exited, for 8 points.

The guy he plugged even tried for motion status attempt to no avail.

Such is life! Also, my attempt to hit him as he was fleeing also needed a original 2 TH; I rolled a 3. Of course. :)

Great fun!
2022-10-14(D) Mark Thompson vs Steven Cook (Germans) Russian winA cat and mouse game in Turns 1-3 turned deadly in Turn 4 as the Germans and Russians closed in one 4 AFV gaggle in the North and one 4 AFV gaggle in the South. The Germans missed 2 TH DRs by 1 by being conservative and staying in motion and the Russians in turn wrecked 3 Puma quickly thereafter in fairly close DRs, helped by the Germans failure to pop smoke and/or make motion attempts. A great introduction for the German player (a relative AFV newb) reinforcing the criticality of planning MP and shooting math BEFORE moving, and remembering defensive measures of smoke/motion. Thanks Steve.
2022-06-16(D) Enrico Saletti vs Alessandro Poluzzi Russian win
2021-11-10(D) manzoli andrea vs Galletto German win
2021-10-04(A) Vilis Pavulans vs Giovanni Faisca Russian winWith a seldom seen recklessness I, the russian player made a ESB which immobilised an AFV in the first movement phase. After that the germans let one AFV come too far ahead alone in the bottom part of the map and two russian sharks attacked, killing the lone german. After that a careful positioning took place and another duel arose. It ended in a russian casualty along with the 10-2 armour leader. The game finished in the last turn when two russian AFVs made a risky rush in the lower left part of the map, knowing that no german AFVs could get out in the last turn. Both survived and brought victory to the motherland.
