Overview:

As the drive on Moscow slowed due to supply problems and general winter, STAVKA was given time to deploy fresh troops from other fronts. The 78th Infantry, Siberian veterans of the Mongolian frontier, were transferred 6000 miles to use skillful ambushes and delaying tactics to slow the panzer’s march on Moscow. Near the River Istra, they were finally ordered to halt and fight. The snow-covered fields and the medieval town of Istra itself would become a battlefield for several weeks. On 26th November, the 78th was renamed the “9th Guards Infantry”, but needed no special titles to display élan or heroism. Squeezing out of the pincers formed by 10th Panzer Division and 2nd SS “Das Reich”, the “marvelous Siberians” would regroup and launch a counterattack to retake the historic town.
Attacker: Russian (9th Guards Infantry Division)
Defender: German (SS) (2nd SS Division "Das Reich")

2023-03-13(A) Bob McKenna vs Robert Kroczynski Russian winInitial attacks stalled at all three buildings. Slow advances and flanking left and right pushed Germans back. Poor dice rolls and a change of luck in turn 4 turned the tide. Germans nearly counter attacked the center and left buildings. Melee resolved the issue.

2022-12-08(A) Patrick Bonner vs self Russian winThe Russians really used the snow-camo to their advantage to get in close a couple times and kick the Germans out.

I played this one four times, with each side getting two wins. Set-up seemed to be what determined victory.
2022-09-23(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Russian win
2022-09-23(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Russian winDan's SS rolled miserably all night long with a bunch of 11's and more 12's, which allowed the Russians to get in close and overwhelm them in CC for the win. Bad dice really decided this game.
