Overview:

The Germans, after a week of relatively easy victories, approached a small Lithuanian village amidst the forest. Army Group North was among the first Germans to encounter heavier Russian tanks. These monsters dwarfed the German AFVs, and it was quickly discovered that they were not easily beaten with firepower. Turning to their tactical advantages of numbers, speed, and manueverability, the German forces would often byass these strong points and then reduce them at their leisure. That was not an option in this case. . . . .In a fairly large battle from the opening days of Operation Barbarossa in 1941, 10 Russian squads must defend a village from an attack by 12 German squads. The Germans are supported by six tanks of various types, while the Russians have an infantry gun and two tanks, one of which is a nearly invincible KV-2.

2021-05-18(D) Ethan Delwood vs Robert Delwood Russian winRussian victory by German surrender. German player was unlucky with tanks (3 MA malfunctions) and KV was virtually undefeatable. However, Russian infantry were getting thin and Russians were on the run consistently, making it hard to rally by the surrender on turn 5.
2021-03-24(D) Gerard G vs padouc German winRussians failed to delay german squads advance. Despite the KV-2 tank , that tried a last effort to eliminate 2 more gemran tanks, but got blasted by a captured ATR Critical hit !
2021-02-27(D) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Fedor Grachev Russian win
2021-02-12(A) Jonathan Townsend vs Myself Russian winCame down to a CC in the last German turn, with the Pinned Russian squad beating three Germans resulting in the latter not taking the last building they needed to win.
I used the infantry to protect the Tanks in the first turn meaning the Tanks did very little except move up on the Left flank whilst the infantry spent all their efforts swarming a 1/2 squad with an ATR and another squad in the treeline.and broke a couple of themselves in the process. Must practice combined arms tactics more!
2021-01-10(A) Craig Renier vs Steve Boro German winThe Germans advanced from the southeast slogging through the woods and brush. The Germans carefully advanced taking care not to lose their tanks to the Russian ATR or hidden gun. Neither side sustained losses, but the Germans were able to move forward. When the Russian BT-7 was shocked, the door opened for the Germans to initiate a full assault. The BTR ended up destroyed after the Shock giving way for the German tanks to advance. The Germans suffered some heavy losses with MC and KIA, but the Russians suffered as well. Finally, in Turns 5 and 6, the Russian began to fail their MCs. With no good order MMCs remaining, the Russians conceded at the end of the German Turn 6.
