2024-05-27(D) Dave Mareske vs Dennis Dowd German winCrossing the open ground did not go well, though by turn 3 they did have a foothold in the village with the help of three Berserk squads (2 were created in the rally phase). With the level of casualties and the German AE coming on, the game was called with the commitment to try again. The Russian reinforcements came on the south on board 44 under cover, but late getting into the fight.

2021-05-15(D) Andy Goldin vs Mike Johnston Russian winThis is a challenging scenario for both players with good replayability. Based on my read of the map, I figured Mike would most likely attempt to grab the buildings in the center (N8/O9/P9) since they're the closest to the woods, so I put a three-counter dummy stack and two concealed half-squads there to dissuade him from doing so. I also placed a HIP squad with LMG in a foxhole in G6 and another squad and LMG in T8 to set up interlocking firelanes. His initial rush was repulsed with losses, as I had hoped. Mike make a good choice and entered his reinforcements on the A2/A3 hexes. This required me to reposition my HMG team (which had very successfully knocked out his kill stack with a snake-eyes) to O3, which conveniently has a slope and visibility OVER the wheatfield. The next turn saw me malf my LMG in G6 AND my hidden ATG in M5, which made the defense of that quarter of the town infeasible. Although my HMG shredded his reinforcements with multiple rate tears, he pressed on and continued to make me fight in two directions. To hold, I had to enter all my reinforcements in the center and leave only a token force in X8 in hopes of keeping him out that part of the town. My machine gunners stacked 'em up and I traded ground for time in the center. Nonetheless by Turn 4 he had me in a pocket in the buildings between M5/Q2 and a few squads hanging on across the street in R4/R6/T6. Once the squad possessing the MMG I had in R4 broke, I was unable to hold on to the center of the town. Luckily for me it took Mike a turn or two to figure out that my left was weakly held. Once he pushed his kill stack over there and met little resistance, he knew the game was up. With the M5 building in his hands and the run of the rest of the town, he was easily able to score 30 VP. Even if I had been able to break out of my corner of the town, I would not have been able to take back enough VP to win, so I conceded and Mike scored another victory.
