Overview:

From the 14th of February through the 20th, two Matilda tanks, commanded by Lt. Danilov and tank company commander Zhuravlev, were attached to the 82nd Rifle Regiment. On the 14th the tanks and the regiment's sub-machinegun company attacked in unison. With the tanks leading the infantry at a distance of 150-200 meters, the tanks took on enemy strong points one at a time, enabling the infantry to then close on the enemy. At one point in the battle, Lt. Danilov's radio operator dismounted from the tank, climbed up on the turret and from there onto the roof of a nearby house, so that by hand signals from his vantage point he could better direct fire from Danilo's tank against the enemy.

2023-05-01(D) Tim Reade vs Dave Shannon Russian winDave played a patient waiting game as the Russian attacker. My OBA dried up and my efforts in the last turn to retake VC locations failed. Well done Dave!

I found the game a little static as the German defender, so not the most interesting game, but rather as the German you have to be patient and decisive. Was a good intro to learn the KGS rules & Extreme Winter.

Note that Deep Snow is the weather and that you can't generate Falling Snow. These are mutually exclusive environmental conditions.
2023-05-01(A) David Shannon vs Tim Reade Russian winI really enjoyed this KGS scenario and the challenges it presented.
As Russian, the vast majority of your troops (5-2-7's) have poor range and need to cross snow covered open ground to close with the enemy - you need full use of winter camouflage (to assault move/advance while retaining concealment) to have any chance.
Also pray to the dice gods that German MG's start to snap in the winter chill as the turns click by!
2022-01-22(D) Paul Legg vs Peter Catchpole German win
2021-02-21(D) Richard Jenulis vs Terry Gray Russian winThe German radio broke on the first radio contact roll and was eliminated on the repair. The falling snow turned to heavy falling snow on turn one and lasted until turn 5.
