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.

2020-08-18(A) David Garvin vs Loic Gourdon Russian winWow. What a match. I held back 3 squads, 2 LMGs and an 8-1 for the turn 3 reinforcements. This was to keep some of his forces off to the west, away from my goal of the north and eastern building, and to keep my options open.
I ended up reinforcing my success in the middle and Loic wisely mounted a counter attack that ended up taking the building to the east.
I had to counter-counter attack on the final turn. I broke one squad and sent it out of the building and ended up going into CC with 2 x 468s and an 8-0 with 2 of my own 458s. I had luckily pinned one of his squads, setting up for the ambush!
I rolled a 1, but Loic pulled off a 2: no ambush.
To win, I had to eliminate all his guys. With a 1:2, a 4 (reduction) wouldn't do it: I needed a 2 or 3.
I rolled 1, 2!
WIN
(I had squads elsewhere in the building)
Loic rolled on a 1:2 (One squad pinned), and he rolled:
1, 2!
Incredible ending!
Loic is a new player, but he "gets it". What a pleasure to play with such a capable and eager new player!
2020-07-04(D) Craig Renier vs Sam Belcher German (SS) winRussian initial assault was on the German left flank. Germans re positioned the MMG and ended up breaking 2 squads and a leader. Russians went into CC, losing 1.5 squads and 2.5 turns. In the end, the Russians ran out of time and could not gain a second building.
2020-06-19(A) Craig Renier vs Dave Mareske German (SS) winRussian attempt to outflank the German defense from the West had too far to drive to reach a victory building. The Russian reserve force entered on Turn 3 with the center building as the objective. In the end, the Russian center assault failed leaving the Russians in control of only 1 building.
