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.

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.

2022-05-07(A) Vic Lauterbach vs JM German (SS) winThe Germans dominated the first two turns and won the last two but struggled during the middle two. Two melees went their way in trench U4 and hex S4, and the 8-0 directed 658 w/MMG went on a ROF tear in turn 5 that cleared trench X5 and sealed the win. Thanks to the 10-2, the SS rallied when it really mattered (and they repaired both MMGs the RPh after they malf'd). The SU76 went malf/disable/recall in GTs 4-5 then took a LR PF shot. The SU85 killed the HS w/PSK before it got a shot off and broke the German stack in W5 but fell to another LR PF shot. I used all but 1 of my PF checks! Multiple sniper activations yielded 0 attacks, and high TH DRs by the SUs hurt Jim's Russians, but it was still quite close.

Great scenario that I thoroughly enjoyed against John Farris from the Oklahoma City ASL club.
