Overview:

The GPU-Prison had been a focal point of the fighting since almost the opening battle for Cholm, consequently it was well garrisoned and stockpiled with ammunition and grenades. By this point in the siege, both it and much of the surrounding area was a mass of ruins, debris, wrecks and shellholes. The GPU-Prison had been ably defended all along by Hauptmann Biecker and what remained of his dwindling command. The tenacity of the defense was evident in the several Russian tank wrecks which lay at the very doorstep of the building. In the twilight darkness of early morning the Russians launched yet another attempt to gain control of this commanding structure.
Attacker: Russian (82nd Rifle Regiment, 33rd Rifle Division, 3rd Shock Army)
Defender: German (9.Kompanie, 386.Infanterie-Regiment, 218.Infanterie-Division, Kampfgruppe Scherer)

2019-05-01(A) Paolo Cariolato vs Dario Bagnoli Russian winAlmost no Room for manouver for the russian attacker, an HW is mandatory. Mandatory set up for the Germans defender. The scenario plays out in the rubble GPU prison 2 hexes and ADJACENT.
the map is heavily modified by the SSR. playing it out FtF is a nightmare. Not fun.
