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)

2022-06-20(D) Eric Topp vs Jason Nichols Russian winJason lost both his panzers early. Without these in support, the Italians didn't have enough FP to break the Russian defenders
2021-04-12(D) Asad Rustum vs Jörn Helms Italian / German winEnjoyable scenario with the possibility for Italian banzai.
Initially we gave the Germans the balance based on the scenarios record.
The scenario shifted from a good start for the Russians with a destruction of the PzIII and the German malfunction and later destruction of their mortar. Snow intensified and eased up movement for the Germans. Once the Germans reached began dominating several hills the snowing stopped which punished the Russians.
The German 9-2 is also a bas-ass.
In the end, the Germans prevailed with a stable win by the end of turn 5.
2020-10-16(A) patrick palma vs Michael Cassaro Russian win
2019-06-08(D) Wen-bin Huang vs Der_Ring Italian / German winHeavy snow makes every hill fight for themself. with the bad location of Russian AT Gun setup I lose on the 5th turn as no good order MMC on hills.
2019-01-02(A) nathan wegener vs Peter Wegener Russian winNo smoke from mortar meant running into heavy fire which tore up my attackers and I could not push the Russians off the big hill. Good mix of units and toys for both sides had a good time.
