Overview:

A Kampfgruppe from Panzergrenadier-Division “Grossdeutschland†took part in Operation NATZMER on 15 August to blunt a Soviet attack across the Vorskla River. As the day progressed, many of the unit’s Tiger tanks, in action for the first time, began to fall by the wayside, though as often from mechanical issues as from combat loss. After struggling through the two villages and then pausing briefly to replenish ammunition, the remnants of the kampfgruppe reached Belsk late in the day and went into action right away.
Attacker: German (Aufklarungs-Abteilung, Kampfgruppe Natzmer, Panzer-Regiment "Grossdeutschland")

2021-03-05(D) Kermit Mullins vs Scott Waites German winYeah...pretty tough on the Russians if you don't hurt the Germans early, which I did not. Germans DC'd me and then rolled up on me in Close Combat. I kept ELR'ing which ensured my destruction. And then to cap off my misery, my 8-0 and 4-5-8 with the MMG go Berserk and run to their deaths. It's games like this that make me dislike ASL from time to time. Germans were able to take every building for extra style points.
2020-10-21(D) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Anton Sulin Russian winTense "till the last die roll" game.
2020-07-04(D) Raoul Duke vs BS German winScenario is probably fairly well balanced, but that balance assumes that the Soviets can morale check their way out of a wet paper bag, which I could not.
2020-04-17(D) David Garvin vs Benjamin Steinberg Russian win
2018-12-16(A) O Ramaille vs Russian winThe German assault suffered from accurate Russian fire that somewhat disrupted the attack. The German reinforcements tried to flank the russian defense but they were unable to seize their target building. The Germans continued their advance and controlled some new buildings. They meleed the Russian defenders but the process was too long to achieve victory on time. They were even close to lose control of one building but they captured it back at the end. With only 3 controlled buildings, the German conceded victory to the Russians.
A comment: the written aftermath does not at all match the scenario as it was designed. We heard of AT guns, mines and Tigers but none appear in the current scenario. This is somehow confusing. The scenario is however nice to play.
