Overview:

To the south of Borodino, the SS Das Reich was committed to several actions aimed at breaking the Soviet lines in order to rush towards the east. The Der Fuhrer Regiment, fighting on the southern flank of the Division, had regrouped and was to seize the village of Yudinki, whose forward defense consisted of some of the finest Russian youth - the Lenin Cadets.

2025-04-09(A) Andrea Noia vs Andrea Manzoli German (SS) win3 hrsGreat Scenario - very useful to build tactical experience. Use your Assault engineers to cross with smoke, deploy hard and run as a German. I was lucky to break the defence in the open on the south part of the map. Forest is great for defence but the russian player (IMHO) should avoid at all costs to make the german come from the open ground. Very fun scenario with FT and DC !

2024-10-22(D) M T vs V.K. Russian winVery good and intense infantry-only scenario. Our game could have gone either way, decided only on the last CCPh roll.
2024-10-16(D) Jeff B vs Scott Sherer German (SS) win6 hrsDespite me having a wall of bodies in his way, Scott came on mostly through the northern woods. I like 8ML vs 8ML scenarios, and this is one such game. Turn 2 saw first contact after I failed to extract a batch of my HIP units, and he was able to get the better of them in CC after they bungled their advantage. The rest of my troops just pulled back to their next line of defense, and I really thought this was going to be a boring body block scenario (especially with a commissar backing me up). He exposed a few dummies and captured my MMG on Turn 3, but I was able to eliminate his sniper (a constant worry to my exposed commissar in the rear). Turn 4 saw him make some inroads in the south as a couple HS crossed the hedgerow with only my mortar-bearing crew to hold them off. The rest of my men, once again, continued their steady fallback defense. Turn 5 saw me start to run out of room to retreat, and he was able to sneak a squad into my backfield with some more aggressive movement. Turn 6 saw him take his 6th building, with another easily obtainable in Turn 7, and it would all come down to my defense of the unoccupied H5. A couple units were broken in their attempt to take it, but he survived a 2-2 shot with a HS to secure it and the victory. A pretty nice, simple scenario that is obviously well suited for tourney play.
