Overview:

Ragnarök (the Norse Armageddon) was upon the SS Division Nordland. The Reichstag had fallen, and most of Berlin was at the mercy of the Red Army. The remains of Nordland seemed doomed, and Hauptsturmführer Hans-Gösta Pehrsson gave his last order as commander of the recon battalion: “The war is over! Everyone, save yourselves.” Most of what was left of the battalion made their way to Weidendammer Brücke, a bridge a few hundred yards east of the Reichstag. The plan was to cross the bridge and break through to join the German forces north of the city. There had been four previous attempts by this route. All four had failed, but the attacks had inflicted some losses on the Russian defense, and the area was littered with burning wrecks and debris. At 0400 the fifth and final attack commenced, led by one of the halftracks belonging to the Swedish SS volunteers.

2023-06-23(D) Indy Lagu vs Paul Legg German (SS) winPaul says he diced me. Perhaps he did, as by the end of turn 2,
I had lost my entire right flank.

What Paul leaves out is that he played well thereafter and exploited the
hole he had punched. We played to the end of turn 3, but the outcome
wasn't really in doubt.

I'd happily play this again. The possible reinforcements that pop up from
? counters gives this scenario an interesting twist.

Well played, Paul. I hope we can get a match in next year.
2023-06-23(A) Paul Legg vs Indy Lagu German (SS) winDouble One 2023 - Mini Round 2 - A textbook case of dicing the opponent. Indy setup with the possible reinforcement counters protecting the extreme flanks (there is a 5 in 6 chance of something activating). The rest of the west half was covered by a 447 squad in 45EE4 and a 527 in each of the ground floor locations of 45AA2 and 45BB2. I setup a kill stack in 23AA10 comprising 3 x 658ss w 2 x lmg and the 9-1 leader. In the prep I opportunity fired and the two 527 obligingly revealed themselves. In Adv. fire I spray fire and break both keeping ROF, 5 or 6 ROF shots later both squads have evaporated. The 447 was taken out in the Russian turn 2 DFPh by a crit. from the SPW 250/7 mortar and the race was on to exit in the NW corner.
2023-06-23(A) Andy Bagley vs German (SS) winVery quick game, as my opponent mistakenly thought his reinforcements entered on the North edge rather than the South. He consequently didn't have enough forces protecting the western flank, so I concentrated all my troops on that side and just rushed through - aided by a cower result which denied him a fire lane. The only units he had available to plug the gap got shot on their way there, so game over by the end of turn 1.
Generally, I think it's essential for the Russians to concentrate their forces on the two flanks, particularly the western one. If the Germans choose to attack in the centre, the Russians can converge to cover.
2022-06-05(A) Paul Legg vs Tim Reade Russian winScenario Archive PBEM tournament - Although was late getting into it so played live. Took it to the final German turn but well placed Russian units prevented the final dash to exit.
