Overview:

The men of the SS Totenkopf Division had stalled the advance of the Fifth Guards Tank Army in late September. Then, silence. No fighting had occurred for the past three weeks. It was too good, too unreal. A feeling of unease pervaded the encampment. There was almost a sigh of relief as the dull thunder of the Russian advance began again. . .
Attacker: Russian (Fifth Guards Tank Army)

2018-11-11(A) luca martini vs Nando Russian winThis is a small scenario plenty of tactical challenges / opportunities. A well placed TD blocks the whole exit area rendering Russian task quite difficult. Conversely a small German distraction gives the Russian the opportunity to break through. Nando played the German well, creating a quite impregnable last ditch defense close to the edge of the map. Only a CH cleaned the infantry garrison protecting the fearful Jagpantner. Fun.
2016-03-18(A) JP Laurio vs Arttu German (SS) win
2015-10-13(A) Vic Lauterbach vs MA German (SS) winTried this one twice - it plays very fast. Russians fell short, but not by much the second time! Result depends heavily on German TH DR. Recommend giving Russian player balance (although we didn't).
2015-05-23(D) Jim Kloss vs Bob Eury German (SS) winThe German victory was aided by the deployment of a squad during setup, the half squads of which were very effective in manning SW's in a key location. Most of the Russian armor was eventually destroyed by inherent PF, with one JS2 being eliminated by the Nashorn.
2014-12-10(D) Stanley Neo vs John K Russian win
