Overview:

The German offensive to retake Kharkov put the Russian Voronezh Front in disarray. Shortages of fuel and ammo hampered the Russians. The siutation got worse on March 13th when the Grossdeutschland Division attacked north of Kharkov along the seam between the 40th and 69th Armies. Penetrating deep into the Russian lines, the armored elements, including a company of Tigers, turned northeast in the direction of Tomarovka. The Russian command committed the 3rd Guards Tank Corps to slow down the German advance.

2020-10-13(D) David Garvin vs Loic Gourdon German winLoic is learning how to play tanks. As such, he got the red horde. He kept his tanks in motion, used pretty good swarming techniques and some bounding first fire; however, the dice gods were against him as witnessed by a tank going MALF, but he did take out two of my Pz IVF2. My Tigers, however, were devastating. One actually getting a rate tear and taking out two of his tanks in one phase.
Great fun!
2020-10-01(A) Craig Renier vs Dave Mareske Russian winRussian tanks were initially held off with German Mk IV covering the Tigers' flanks. One Tiger took out two Russian tanks by retaining ROF in DFPh. But the remainder of the Russian swarm on the Tiger rolled a 2 on the TK. The 2nd Tiger was immobilized and eventually killed. Further low die rolls on the TK for the Russian left the German force unable to block a Russian exit.
2020-09-12(A) Macari Samuel vs Seb Prof Russian winVery uninteresting scenario except for players who love only afv.
2020-06-06(D) Derek Dunn vs Bruce Carson Russian win
2020-05-18(D) Kevin Sanders vs Eric Topp Russian winLearning scenario sees my Germans too aggressive with PZ-IVs loosing 2 right away. Mis judged a ridge line = 1 more dead PZ4. Tiger kills 2 T-34s. Russians rush to get off map. Ditch effort needs the South Tiger to move off hill and engage Russian conga line ...start up, rolls a 12 immobilized for game over....
2020-04-03(A) Tom Kearney vs David Gregg Russian winNew player development.
2020-03-08(D) John Smith vs Scott German winScenario seem hyper-sensitive to tactics use. There's run, there's gun, then there's run and gun. My opponent chose run and made a dash for the opposite board edge. My Tigers and Pz IVs made quick work of it, despite having one malf MA, and one Pz IV recalled because I rolled boxcars on an Intensive Fire shot. Game ended after 2.5 turns. I think the only way the Russians can win this one is to exercise a run and gun strategy, using a force to swarm and delay some German panzers (and maybe take some out) while the other T34s make a run for the board edge.
2019-12-30(D) Jacob Elmqvist vs Ingemar Gardell Russian win
2019-11-23(A) Jonathan Kapleau vs Cusick, John German win
2019-11-09(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Matias Dahlbäck Russian winBalanced to the russians they simply overran me as the german. I didn´t have time to get to the quick bastards and when the russians also maneuvered well and managed to knock out my panzer IVs I was without a chance.
2019-11-09(A) Matias Dahlbäck vs Vilis Pavulans Russian winGood training scenario for AFV rules.
2019-11-04(A) David Garvin vs Nick Faryna German winBloody Tigers. LOL.
2019-09-20(D) Tom Rodwell vs Vilis Pavulans German win
2019-09-20(D) Tom Rodwell vs Vilis Pavulans German winVilis taking the T-34s of 3rd Gds Tk Corps advanced forward in two groups of five leaving his tanks in motion. GD's panzers adopted stationary defensive positions, four on board v and two PIVs on board t. The Russians continued their charge forward, losing only two tanks through a combination of poor shooting & failed penetrations. In desperation the panzers unwisely resorted to intensive fire, malf'ing three main guns, including one of the mission critical Tigers. At this point by the end of the Russian turn 2 things were looking distinctly grim for the Germans, not least as the two PIVs on board t were knocked out by close range bounding fire. However, in the German’s turn 2, through a combination of manoeuvre and better (or lucky depending on your perspective) shooting, the Germans recovered the position to a degree knocking out a T-34 on each board. Vilis’s remaining T-34’s destroyed one more PIV as they made a dash for the exit in the third turn with three tanks making good their escape. However, in an incredibly tense finale good German shooting managed to destroy a further three T-34s leaving the score at 7-6 to the Germans for a very narrow win.
2019-09-20(A) Vilis Pavulans vs Tom Rodwell German win
2019-08-12(D) M T vs Russian win
2019-08-08(A) M T vs Russian winGood scenario to practice the AFV rules. Plays fast. Played twice and both times the Soviets won by exit VP.
2019-06-10(A) Javier Rodrigo Ballesteros vs My friend German win
2019-02-02(A) Jonathan Kapleau vs Acton, Patrick German win
2018-07-08(A) Max Malm vs Solo Draw
2018-03-16(A) Jonathan Kapleau vs Rakowski, Chris Russian win
2018-01-23(D) santiago jimenez vs Bud Nicola German win
2017-11-25(A) David Garvin vs Craig Stark German winGreat scenario for getting back to basics for AFV Combat. I tried to run the German gauntlet; nope. Key were his Tigers. They really dominated the battlefield.
2017-08-24(D) Jonathan Kapleau vs Sidhu, Paul Russian win
2017-08-02(A) Seumas Hoskins vs Dean Russian win
2017-05-15(A) Greg Krane vs Solo Russian winRussians overwhelmed the Germans on the German right. Surrounded and took out a Tiger, then exited the necessary VP's.
2017-02-09(D) Jeff B vs Bronson Barnhart German winTigers dominated the battlefield. All Russian AFVs were eliminated by the end of Turn 3. Germans had fantastically good luck in their shooting.
2017-01-28(A) Jeff B vs Bronson Barnhart Russian winA very good learning scenario for AFVs. Russians have numerical superiority, but Germans have the firepower and positioning advantage. Much will depend on the Tigers. Russians equally divided their entering force between the east and west, and the Germans countered likewise. Intensive firing every gun, German luck prevailed early, making the count 1:3 in their favor. During their next movement phase, Russians were able to get behind one of the Tigers and knock it out, leaving just a sole German tank guarding the east. This was the turning point of the battle. Next prep fire was ineffective for the Germans, and the Russians knocked out the remaining eastern German AFV. This allowed them to sneak off four AFVs that turn, securing a victory. A good game to flip sides and play again from another perspective.
2016-07-02(D) Tom Abromaitis vs Chris Edwards German win
2016-02-28(A) Kermit Mullins vs Connor Mullins German winFast playing scenario. I ran my Russian armor straight ahead and tried to bust through the German line of tanks. 4 of my T-34's made it...the rest met fiery ends for a German win.
2015-09-27(A) JP Laurio vs Herb Russian win
2015-01-28(D) fabrizio da pra vs Ugo Bartolucci German win
2015-01-02(A) fabrizio da pra vs Juan Pablo Da Pra German win
2014-11-23(A) Michael Focht vs David Garber Russian winThe German player conceded after his second turn with 1 GO PzIV remaining, 2 PzIVs eliminated, 1 PzIV recalled and off the board, 1 PzVI eliminated, and 1 PzVI immobilized and MA MALF'ed. At this point only 1 Russian T-34 had been eliminated, and 7 were in position to exit the South edge of the board on the next turn.
2014-11-16(D) Michael Focht vs David Garber German winThis one came down to the last Russian turn, ending tied at 7-7. The Russian player was unable to kill another German tank before exiting the last two T-34s. Seven Russian tanks were destroyed, and three exited the South edge. Four German tanks were destroyed. The seventh Russian tank was destroyed on the half-hex row of the South board edge, just one MP away from a Russian victory!
2014-11-09(D) Michael Focht vs David Garber Russian winI lost a Tiger to a CH on turn 1. By turn 4 I was down to 1 Tiger and one UK Pz IV. The Russians had lost 4 T-34s, exited 2, and had 1 Recalled. It was no longer possible to keep any more from exiting, so I conceded.
2014-07-07(D) leo zhu vs Erwin Lau Russian winFirst Vehicle Scenario for me.

2013-11-25(A) nathan wegener vs Peter W German winmade 2 groups and charged down middle and Russian left. Tigers picked off 3 T34 in second move phase putting the Russians on back foot. Downhill from there.
2013-11-23(D) Paul Messina vs Anthony Lubrani German win
2013-04-30(D) O Ramaille vs German winThe russians decided to fight. But the superior power of the german guns was unmatched. 8 T-34s ended up as wrecks. One managed to escape and the last one was left in very difficult position, flankes as it is by the 2 remaining Tigers.
Final german score = 8 T-34s wrecks
Final russian score = 4 PzIVF2 + 1 T-34 escape.
2013-04-29(A) O Ramaille vs Russian winThe Russians formed 2 groups of 5 T-34 and dashed towards the south when several Panzers and a Tiger appeared on the hill just ahead. Their firepower knocked out five russian tanks. But the remaining T-34s turned the germans and rushed to the south destroying 2 panzer IVF2 and surviving several hits from the pursuing panzers.
The russian won with 5 exited tanks and 2 eliminated panzers.

2012-01-16(A) Paul Messina vs Chris Bryer Russian winAnother great playing of S21! I was very lucky to have won this scenario. The German Tigers kept hitting me but the TK rolls kept failing so I was let off the hook on a couple occassions. A must play scenario!
2012-01-04(D) Kermit Mullins vs Scott Waites German winGood game. Soviets attempted to stand in line and trade shells with Germans. Result was a lot of burning T-34's.
