Overview:

The German advance seemed to progress as planned. But up north, the Wehrmacht had another thing coming. Beginning 23 June, repeated Russian attacks by units supported by heavy tanks met occasional success. The ponderous but heavily armed and armored KV-2s seemed impossible to handle for the unprepared Germans. One of these attacks prompted the hasty retreat of Panzer Abteilung 65, and even the battalion staff found themselves entangled with other units trying to get out of the way of the Russian juggernaut. Suddenly, it appeared as if a breach of the German line was a distinct possibility. Forces from the surrounding area were immediately ordered to counter the threat.
Attacker: Russian (2nd Tank Division)
Defender: German (Panzer-Abteilung 65, Panzer-Division 6 and Kampfgruppe Seckendorff with Abteilung II, Panzer-Regiment 11)

2023-01-26(D) O Ramaille vs Macari Samuel German winMost of the Russian infantry attacked the village while a couple of squads waited for the German reinforcements North. The KV2 also went North to prevent progress from the German reinforcements, and kept moving in order to flank the village. The German infantry entering as reinforcements was actually blocked with some success. However, these blocking Russian units were desperately needed in the assault of the village. The arrival of the Panzers from the West side definitely stopped the Russian advance. The Panzers gracefully dodge the KV2 fired shells with the help of smoke and threatened the Frontoviki directly. The KV2s moved forward to wreck some panzers. But one of the PzIVD achieved a critical hit with Heat ammunition transforming a KV2 into a blaze. The Russian decided to abandon with only one KV2 left and squads unable to achieve fixed objectives.
2021-03-30(D) Chuck Dye vs KevinKilleen Russian win
2020-04-19(A) Lawrence Spangler vs Diane Spangler German win
2018-01-03(D) Christian Knudsen vs Lawrence Davies German winThis is an interesting scenario, but heavily pro-German, unless all 4 PzIV run out of smoke early. Otherwise they can just take turns smoking off the KV-2s all game. The Russians lack the infantry strength to force the Germans out of the buildings. I rated my enjoyment level as "poor", but that is no reflection on my opponent, who was a lot of fun to play. Just not the best scenario, imho.
