Overview:

With the Stalingrad disaster nearing its epic conclusion, Army Group Center was suffering a siege of its own at the rail center of Velikiye Luki. General Kurt von der Chevallerie fortified his bridgehead along the Lovat River with the intent of resuming offensive operations after another harsh Russian winter. However, General Purkayaev of the Third Shock Army had offensive plans of his own, and would need the bridgehead and transportation facilities at Velikiye Luki. To accomplish this, he encircled the city during the middle of November. With Hitler’s stand-fast order in place, the siege was resupplied during the month of December, and plans were made to break the encirclement.
Attacker: Russian (28th Rifle Division/21st Guards Rifle Division)

2025-07-05(D) O Ramaille vs German winA very interesting scenario with victory conditions conditions that offer various options for both attacker and defender. The German, surrounded, defended mostly on the borders counting on the reinforcements to defend the key building and if possible force an exit. The Russians decided to attack hard from the East and leave a small force on the West side to prevent the Germans to exit. On the East, the Russians were able to eliminate the German defenders but were too late to reach the area of the key building. On the West side, a small German force attempted an exit but were deriven back. The Russian reinforcements assaulted the now reinforced key building but failed at last. A final German victory.
