Overview:

In mid-April 1945, the time had come for the Red Army to cross the last major natural obstacle before Berlin - the Oder river. One of the many planned crossings was the 61st Army's effort to get the 8th Penal Battalion across to the south side of a destroyed rail bridge near the town Neu Glietzen. The penal units were made up of ex-POWs deemed not trustworthy, political prisoners and soldiers who had conducted "unauthorized retreats". Preparations were hasty, and the crossing was to be done in boats of make-shift construction.
Attacker: Russian (8th Separate Penal Battalion, 89th Rifle Corps)
Defender: German (Jäger-Regiment 56, 5. Jäger-Division and Panzerjäger-Kompanie 1005)

2018-10-21(A) Andy Beaton vs Jonathan Kay German winRussians caught the Germans by surprise with a right flank rush that captured all the buildings on the north side of the village. Unfortunately, couldn't expand the position in time and had to settle in for a battle of endurance in which my commissars killed as many of my own guys as the Germans did. On the last turn, a captured DC broke the squad that put me under the threshold. Outstanding scenario.
2016-10-29(D) Andy Beaton vs Richard Hooks German winOver by turn 3 - Russians massacred on the attack and couldn't pass an MC to save their lives

2012-06-23(D) Gordon Jupp vs Simon German winVery Interesting and unusual scenario!

2011-12-17(A) Björn Lorenzen vs Armin Deppe Russian winReally a great scenario with a big replay value.
2011-11-05(A) Paolo Cariolato vs andrea pagni German winAfter two human waves that used 13 units, there was 1 single MMC unscathed, there were 2 1KIA, 4 K1, 1K2 and don't know how many 1NMC and 1NMC.
I lost the scenario at the third turn.
Nice set up and strategic choice for both players anyway.
2011-10-06(A) Bob Callen vs Larry Zoet German winI set up wrong. Things went well at first, but then I lost a Bldg back and could not recapture it before the turn three instant win provision kicked in. Bad luck: had a 3 to 1 CC to recapture Bldg, only got a CR. Bad setup: I think it would have been better to make the bridgehead close to the village and let the boats cross in the far south. I also failed to use Human Wave, which was a mistake.
2011-09-04(D) Lars Nordström vs Klas Malmström Russian win
