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)

2024-11-16(D) Ian Fox vs Malcolm Fox German (SS) winThe initial Russian force split in two and went for the two westernmost buildings. This pulled the Germans away from the eastern building enough for the Russians to seize it easily with their reserve force. The Germans managed to sneak a couple of squads back over to tie up the reserves in melee and prevent them from helping assault the remaining victory buildings. Crossing the road to take the SW building looked too daunting, so the Russians forces closed in on the central building in a three-pronged pincer movement. Snake eyes on the demo charge placement rubbled the NE corner of the building, wiping out the SS 8-1 leader and a squad, but in the end the 9-2 leader, a squad, and a half squad managed to hold on in melee versus 3 Russian squads and the commissar. The Russians needed a 5 on their final CC roll to win. They rolled a 6. As close as it gets!
