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.

2021-02-07(A) Jonathan Townsend vs Myself Russian winThe Russians pulled off the full allowance for Tactical Reserve including the HMG and DC and 9-1 leader.
Ignoring the left most building they swarmed the closer northern one with all the rest of their units and had cleared it by turn 4 with good strength remaining.
The Germans were hampered by uncertainty as to where the Reserve will strike and ultimately both the left and right Objective buildings were not strongly enough defended to keep off the Reserve. The Reserve came in on the right because the Objective was closer and they quickly overwhelmed it. A relief force to the right from the German left, and a counterattack in the with the fallen back defenders of the middle just did not have enough time/force to make it.
A good Russian win, but not with two Melees that went on for 4 or more Player turns - so some risk and nailbiting. All in all we had three Melees and each very important. The last was the German's ultimate last turn forlorn hope...
2021-01-03(A) Tony Fermendzin vs Arshish Kapadia Russian winThe Germans set up forward forcing the Russians to fight their way onto the map. The Russians entered in the center/west. The Germans refused to budge in front of the Russian onslaught and the Russians were able to get into CC and kill two German squads along with their 8-0 leader, at the cost of two Russian squads. An end run by the Russian was able to grab the undefended victory building in the south/center, with the remainder of the Russians pushing east towards the victory building in the north. Russian reinforcements tipped the scale and the Russians were able to take the second required building after an unlucky FPF shot left the German 9-2 leader, squad and MMG broken. After a last ditch counter attack by the Germans on the northern-most victory building fell short, we called the game. A tense and exciting game!!
