Overview:

The Russians have already taken over Orsha, and are on their way west and to the liberation of Minsk. Krupki and its strategic railway station was located roughly halfway between the two larger cities. The first contact with the advancing 3rd Byelorussian Front took place near Krupki, when M4A2 Sherman tanks of the 3rd Guards Tank Corps fought a sharp engagement with the Tigers from sPzAbt. 505 in the early evening of 28 June.
Attacker: Russian (3rd Guards Tank Corps)
Defender: German (Army Group Center Security Forces/Schwere Panzer Abteilung 505 and 5th Panzer Division/Pionier Bataillon, 5th Panzer Division)

2020-11-25(D) Kevin Sanders vs Jason Littleton German winNice game for us both - lots of wow moments. Went to the last turn and the Germans held on. Tiger tank got lucky and lived through a CCV.
2020-11-14(A) Craig Renier vs Dave Mareske German winInexperience with armor showed in the Russian first move. The tanks moved too far in advance of the infantry. Five out of six Shermans were destroyed by the time Turn 3 was complete. While the Russian infantry made good progress, without armor support their efforts ended poorly. When the German reinforcements arrived, there were few of the enemy units left to shoot at.
2020-11-13(D) Dave Mareske vs Craig Renier German winThe Russian borrowed Sherman tanks came on a bit aggressive, one was taken out by a PF. The Tiger tank played havoc destroying a couple more and killing men in CC with it sN7. By the end of turn 4 most of the Russians were broken and all their tanks were destroyed. There seems to be plenty of time to try and take the victory buildings.
2020-07-26(A) Shaun Andrews vs Benjamin Steinberg German winThis battle was typical of poor Russian leadership, meaning me, coupled with a hot German HMG that rained lead down on my advancing squads. I was stubborn and my troops paid the price. To add insult to injury an AT gun was nestled in with the HMG and it too maintained a high rate of fire knocking out multiple Sherman tanks. Just these two (the AT gun and the HMG) wiped out the bulk of my force.

The slaughter happened so quick that the arriving German reinforcements in turn one (1) had nothing to shoot at.

Despite this horrendous showing, my opponent and I had a good laugh and some fun.
