Overview:
Throughout the grueling month of October, determined and costly German assaults had steadily shrunk the Soviet defensive perimeter. By October 24, Panzer Division 14 had reached “Bread Factory #2” just to the south of the Barikady and commenced its assault the next day, only to be rebuffed by the fierce defensive fire of the 138th Rifle Division. The remnants of Motorcycle Battalion 64 were crouched in the ruins opposite the Bread Factory, slain and wounded leaders scattered about them. There seemed to be no way across the deadly street, but Sgt. Esser could no longer stand the tension. Screaming “Forward!” he led his twelve men out into the road and into the adjacent building.Attacker: German (Kradschützenbataillon 64/Panzergrenadier Regiment 103/Panzer Division 14)
Defender: Russian (768th Rifle Regiment/Ad Hoc Reinforcements)

2021-01-27 | (A) Igor Stolyarenko | vs | Konstantin Klyuch | German win (VASL Log) | I launched a slow attack with all my might and tried not to lose anyone. Destroying the cannon immediately after its discovery helped me. Everything was very cinematic. |
2020-12-28 | (D) Craig Renier | vs | Tony Fermendzin | German win | On Turn 1 the Russians got two lucky shots against two German stacks, breaking a sizable portion of the German force. However, that was the limit of the success for the Russian defense. Despite laying down Defensive Fire, the German advance was relentless. When the Russian Commissar broke with its accompanying MMC, the door was cracked open for a full German assault against the Victory buildings. The Russians held up in CC and counterattacked reinforcing the Melee, but the Russian losses were too great while the German force was nearly intact. With no Good Order units remaining, the Russian conceded in Turn 5. |
2020-12-27 | (A) Tony Fermendzin | vs | Craig Renier | German win | Fun scenario. The Germans have a lot of FP in this one, however, if the Russians can hold up in the victory buildings (the Commissar helps here), this one looks like a tough nut for the Germans to crack. The Germans got off to a slow start as they got caught bunching up a bit too much and their two kill stacks both broke on the opening turn. However, the game turned when the Russian MMG malfunctioned and a fortuitous German shot broke both the Commissar and a squad in the victory buildings in Russian turn 3. The Germans then went for broke throwing everything they had at the bread factory and were able to take one of the victory buildings and force their way into CC in the other on German turn 4. The Russians immediately counterattacked and were able to reinforce the CC with two additional squads. However, the Russian forces were spent at this point and the Germans were able eventually clear the Russians out of the last VP building in their last turn. |
2020-11-30 | (D) Craig Renier | vs | Steve Ambruzs | Russian win | The German player could not gain any traction with his attacks throughout the game while the Russian player was able to break multiple attackers. The Germans attempted an assault across the road on the Russian left, but was fully repulsed. A second assault directly at the Victory buildings had a nearly identical result. Mid game, when the Russians were able to break a German Kill Stack, the German player was left with few options. A final assault succeeded in entering one of the victory buildings, but the force was took weak to hold. |
2020-08-27 | (A) Pascal Boileau | vs | Laurent Tisseyre | German win | A really fun scenario. The Russian setup was not optimal and the German firepower did the job by breaking almost all the Russian squads before turn 4 (excepted reinforcements). The situation of the Russian troops even with the reinforcements on board was hopeless and Laurent conceded after turn 3. He was not helped by the malfunctioned MMG and the commissar death at turn 2. |
