Overview:

The 6th Panzer was placed in the line between the 19th and 7th Panzer Divisions. The insertion allowed it and the 7th Panzer to finally make a significant breakthrough. The 19th Panzer would attack to the north trying to get behind the 81st Guards Rifle Division. The 73rd Panzergrenadier Regiment was successful in taking the Djen Uroshaja State Farm early in the day. The objectives lay farther north and the attack continued. Just north of the state farm they ran into the second echelon defenses of the 81st Guards Rifle Division. The Russians defended fanatically from zigzagged trenches and were well-supported by antitank guns.

Attacker: German (Panzergrenadier Regiment 73, Panzer Division 19)

Defender: Russian (233rd Guards Rifle Regiment, 81st Guards Rifle Division, 25th Guards Rifle Corps)

2014-05-29	(A) Richard Carter	vs	Dave Clemons		German win	This is a very exciting scenario to play as the Germans. I do agree that the Russians really have a puzzle to figure out.
2013-05-10	(D) Paolo Cariolato	vs	Gabriele Davide Mazza		Russian win	This scenario is a great puzzle for the defender, you have very scarce tools to defend yourself from the 2 flame throwing invulnerable monsters and the moltitude of german AFV and squad. This is inevitably a game of low odds attacks and everything turns around the strict timetable for the attacker and the powerful resources of the Pillbox/bunker fortification type (that you better know inside out before taking this one as russian).
