Overview:

In the town of Shklov, the German advance was frustrated by the determined defense of a handful of young Soviets. Skillfully using every advantage, the young officer cadets, known as “Stalin Scholars”, were able to beat back the advance of the regular German forces. In order to break the deadlock the Germans ordered the crack Infantry Regiment “Grossdeutschland” to clear the town.

2023-05-20(A) Craig Renier vs Tony Fermendzin Russian winThe Russian set up the bulk of their defense behind the front two VC buildings. The Germans advanced carefully using ordnance smoke to protect the advance. The Russians withdrew in good order with minor losses. The Germans shifted the bulk of the attack to the left which placed them in front of the bulk of the defenders and open ground to cross. The Russians skillfully avoided Defensive Fire leaving the Germans with few options. The few shots available with the 10-3 leader were ineffective. In addition, the Russians eliminated the German 9-2 leader in CC. With time running out, the Germans made a push for the final building. While one Stug was moving to place smoke, a Russian squad entered CC Reaction Fire and successfully wrecked the vehicle. Pressing the attack, German squads with the 10-3 leader still failed to get any appreciable result. There was one faint hope when the Russian 10-3 leader pinned and the accompanying squad broke. But that was remedied quickly with a rally under the commissar. When the Russians broke 4 more German squads and a leader, it was clear the game was over.
