Overview:

During the first weeks of Operation Barbarossa, the German 8th Army was moving across Latvia towards Leningrad. After crossing the Dvina, the movement of a division was being interfered with by a Russian artillery position near a village. Instead of a frontal assault, a company of about 100 men moved through the woods to attack the positions guarding the guns. The Russian garrison commander had ordered a withdrawal into positions guarding the guns and were awaiting the Germans. . . .
Attacker: German (Elements of the 8th Army)

2023-01-31(A) Jack Wilson vs Com. Piotr Russian winPeter is a veteran player and well out of my league, and the game played out as one would expect. Nevertheless, I did have a longshot (ok, VERY longshot) chance to pull out a win on the last turn. Alas, counting on several lucky DRs to bail one out is a poor substitute for sound tactics.

I find the balance statistics a little confusing. ROAR has it tilted in favor of the Germans. The Archive, admittedly with fewer postings, has it lopsided for the Russians.

Taking the required FH/entrenchments was easily accomplished very early. It was going up against those two artillery pieces at PBR that was more than I could pull off.

Still, it was a win for me. Peter was very patient, and I picked up a new tactic or two, not to mention some shortcuts for maneuvering the VASL mechanics.

The scenario is obviously an old classic that is uncomplicated and quick to play. Worth considering for those reasons alone.
