Overview:
Operation Bagration, launched by the Soviets on June 23, was turning out to be highly successful. German reports noted that the Russians no longer attacked as in the early days with masses of infantry across a broad front but instead employed concentrated groups of infantry supported by well controlled fire from heavy weapons with follow up forces available once favorable forward positions were established. In addition, the German high command did not believe that this was the major portion of the Russian summer offensive and refused to send strategic reserves immediately. Finally, however, the situation on the ground proved threatening enough that the 5th Panzer Division with Tiger tanks of the attached 505th Heavy Tank Battalion was sent to assist.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)

| 2021-02-24 | (A) Craig Renier | vs | Rich Mathison | Russian win (VASL Log) | This was a bloody brawl from beginning to end. The bulk of the Russians advanced along the West edge with the Shermans providing covering fire. However, the German AT gun was able to destroy 2 Shermans on Turn 1. The Tiger took out a 3rd while a 4th Sherman suffered a MA malfunction followed by a recall when the repair failed. Despite armor losses, by Turn 3 the Russians successfully controlled 3 of 4 victory buildings. However, the open ground to the 4th with a Panzer and a Tiger in the way left little room for success. The Russians miraculously killed the Panzer with the captured German AT gun and, then, after repairing the Sherman MA, achieved a CH on the Tiger. On Turn 6 the Russians controlled the 4 VC buildings. The Germans made a desperate assault on the Russian flank aided by the fact that a key Russian MMC was locked in Melee for 2 turns. The effort came down to a final CC die roll for control. CC ended in Melee leaving the building in Russian control for a Russian victory. |
| 2021-02-20 | (A) Jonathan Plott | vs | Craig Renier | German win | Another in the Game of the Month Series sponsored by Tactical Tuesday, scenario balance given to the Russians. My first time playing this scenario and using a large(ish) Russian combined arms contingent to drive the Germans from the Motherland. My attempt to use the tanks to equally support the three axes of advance I was attempting led to the armor being picked off and the infantry attacks not getting where they needed to be before the heavy German reinforcements arrived. Conceded after 4 turns. Well played defense, Craig! |
| 2021-02-09 | (D) Craig Renier | vs | Jon Plott | German win | The Russian Shermans advanced too far ahead of their infantry support leaving them vulnerable. The Germans suffered losses and gave up victory buildings, but the Russian losses were too heavy. With the German reinforcements positioned to cover the remaining victory building, the Russian conceded. |
| 2021-02-09 | (A) Jonathan Townsend | vs | Myself | German win | I think this was a lesson in how not to use Tanks on an infantry assault. half way through i realised i should have used the smoke dispensers and stayed closer to the infantry instead of trying to cover them with smoke rounds. Still, if I had the Tiger and companion would still have created quite a stir amongst the Shermans. I guess the Shermans should cover for the infantry and then peel off to swarm the Tiger. |
