Overview:

On April 12 STAVKA declared Vienna clear of German forces. The 3rd Ukrainian Front was issued new orders, one of which was to take the town of St. Polten, south-west of Vienna, in the strategically located Vienna Woods. St. Polten was taken on the 16th, but the attempt to clear the Vienna Woods of the defending Germans turned into a sersies of see-saw battles for the hills which dominated the region.

2023-05-06(D) Indy Lagu vs Chris Pavle Russian winAs the Russian, your PMC is tested as a seemingly
overwhelming number of armed-to-the-teeth SS
squads are coming at your five 527 squads on a hill.

Chris' SS made good progress and captured two trenches
on the German right before the cavalry arrived.

As others have said, the Germans need to get a trench on
both ends of the trench line. Otherwise, it's a tough time for
them.

A _bit_ static for the Russian, but only for three turns.

Well worth a playing.

2022-10-15(D) David Ramsey vs Daniel Takai Russian winA really tough turn 1 and 2 for the Germans allowed my Russian defenders to pull back a hex or two, meaning that by the time the reinforcements arrived I still controlled two of the trench hexes on the Russian right. This meant that the Germans were challenged to take the hexes from the oncoming 458s who had climbed up the hill.

Russians had good dice, and the balance (which didn't affect the game as the SU-76s didn't fire a shot) before the Germans called it on turn 4.

Tough for the Germans if they can't get all of the trenches - or at least both flank hexes before the Russians arrive in force.
