Overview:

Gruppo Nord was in trouble. The retreating Italian and German troops had reached the town of Arbuzov on December 22nd, but Soviet troops soon ringed the hills on the town's outskirts. These troops protected the mortars, artillery pieces and rockets which rained down steel on the surrounded town. To stay in Arbuzov was certain death or capture. From the thousands of Italians in the vicinity, most not combat-worthy, their leaders gathered up as many men as they could to launch a last chance attack. . .

Attacker: Italian / German (Gruppo Nord)

2023-09-18	(A) Dave Mareske	vs	Paul Works	Italian / German win	Two CHs vs a Russian 76L and a foxhole paved the way for the Italian advance. The snow fell heavy for most of the game, but cleared on the last couple of turns making an easy Axis Prep Fire and Movement against the broken Russian defense. A couple of notables beyond more than the Axis fair share of 2s, was a Russian conscript and 7-0 leader eliminating a tank in CC and Paul ended up with a berserk conscript in a foxhole that the Axis had to dig out for the win.

2022-06-20	(A) Jason Nichols	vs	Eric Topp	Russian win	As per Eric's comments.
2022-06-20	(D) Eric Topp	vs	Jason Nichols	Russian win	Jason lost both his panzers early. Without these in support, the Italians didn't have enough FP to break the Russian defenders
