Overview:

The 3rd grand battle (also known as "the other Christmas Battle") started on 21 December with a Soviet attack on Germans near Saldus. The Soviet 2nd Baltic (northern sector) and 1st Baltic Fronts (southern sector) commenced a blockade, precipitating the German defence of the Courland perimeter during Soviet attempts to reduce it. In this battle, serving with the 2nd Baltic Front's 22nd Army, the Latvian 130th Rifle Corps faced their opposites in the Latvian 19th SS Division. The battle ended on 31 December and the front was stabilized. The Soviets had gained a few more square kilometers of territory at the expense of tremendous losses in men, tanks, aircraft, etc.
Attacker: Russian (Elements of 1st Baltic Front and 19th Tank Corps)
Defender: German (Kampfgruppe Zoll, Infanterie-Division 132 and Sturmgeschütz-Brigade 912, Panzer-Division12)

2020-09-01(A) Andy Bagley vs Neil Brunger German winClose but no cigar. I concentrated my attack in the centre and south, making steady progress and keeping most of my armour intact (less one ISU-122). Germans didn't bother with the bridge so I took that easily, then closed in on their HQ building. My mistake was not keeping in mind that this is a rowhouse, hence that I needed to take both ground level locations before moving upstairs. What I should have done was used my DC to blow holes in the walls ("you're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"), which would have made it easier to take. As it was I just fell short - really good scenario though.

2020-07-06(A) Pascal Boileau vs Bruno Bonhomme German winPlayed by email this time. With the Russians, I enjoyed the space in the first turns but the Germans were pleased with the PF, AFV reinforcements and their PaK in the last turns ! And at the endgame, it was a decisive defeat for me...
2020-06-27(A) Pascal Boileau vs Anthony Gibson German winA very interesting scenario. In the last turn, as the Russian, I was too far from the objectives to hope for a victory. Tony showed me how I should have played instead my last two turns and it was really instructive for me. Many thanks to him for the lesson !
2020-05-30(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German win
