Overview:

In the 121st Infantry Division’s sector, the 1st Shock Army’s attack created a 2-kilometer hole in the lines at the Sujewo Heights – the key ‘Balcony’ position that had seen so much fighting during the Russian spring offensive. The Russians were now advancing towards the Pskov-Ostrov road, a loss that would compromise the Panther Line and sever its connection with Army Group Center. To prevent this, the 502nd Heavy Panzer Battalion, equipped with 21 PzKfw VI ‘Tiger’ tanks, was rushed to the front. The Panzer-soldiers quickly coordinated a counter-attack with infantry and assault engineers.
Attacker: German (Elements of 1st Battalion, 405th Regiment and 121st Pioneer Battalion and 2nd Company, 502nd Heavy Panzer Battalion)
Defender: Russian (Elements of 33rd Rifle Division and 1st Shock Army)

2010-05-02(D) nathan wegener vs Peter W Russian winVery enjoyable monster scenario. Full of swirling counter attacks and lots of options for both attack and defense. Clearly effective smoke use is critical for German assault.
