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")

| 2022-01-18 | (A) Craig Renier | vs | Jim Liang | German (SS) win (VASL Log) | The Russians attacked through the center of the board while holding the largest possible force in reserve hoping to split the German forces in two. The German fire on Turns 1 and 2 was devastating. At the end of Turn 2 the Russians had only 3 Good Order full squads, 5 broken half squads, a LMG and a broken MMG on the board. The Germans had to keep their forces dispersed to prevent the oncoming Russian reinforcements from easily gaining a Victory building. However, with the original force so depleted, the Russian reinforcements entered behind the original force. The second attack made much better progress, driving into the center Victory building. But this building was defended with the SS 9-2 SMC and 2 MMCs armed with a LMG and MMG each. The high morale, one bolstered with the 9-2 SMC kept them in good order throughout the assault. One Russian MMC was able to flank the German troops and gained control of one building on the German right flank. But the SS troops in the center survived PBF, DC, and CC keeping control to the end. |
