Overview:

Following the disastrous loss of Stalingrad, German High Command faced another threat in northern Russia. After Russian breakthroughs at several points on the Don River, the Germans were in danger of losing three Heeresgruppes – in total, more men then they had lost at Stalingrad. In response, on March 6, Manstein’s Panzer Armee 4, including crack formations such as SS-Panzerkorps 3 and Infanterie-Division “Grossdeutschland” launched a counteroffensive, which would later be known as the Third Battle for Kharkov.
Attacker: German (Panzer-Regiment / Tiger-Kompanie / Aufklärungs-Abteilung "Grossdeutschland")
Defender: Russian (305th Rifle Division, 3rd Tank Corps)

2022-01-15(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Matias Dahlbäck Russian winA slight delay in the german offensive when the AFVs waited for infantry running to the village may have swayed the balance to the russians. the hideous rolling on the russian side swayed it back. Malfed the Gun on the second shot, malfed a tank MA, hit with a 76L into a building and then dudded the shot and so on. It came down to the last turn where a close combat against a pinned russian squad didn´t succeed and the russians won this time. Taxing on morale and several personal moralechecks resulted in pin for the german player who was ready to throw in the towel at least five times during the game but stood as the victor in the end.
2019-12-14(A) Oliver Ahrendt vs Russian Russian winExcellent scenario! Really thight one with the Russians beeing on the lucky side. Highly Recommended.
2019-06-29(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Russian winFun scenario. My Germans suffered terribly on the first two turns as Dan’s AT Gun took down all 3 of my MK III’s and 2 of my half tracks beforehand he MALF’d it. My Tiger was killed by Street Fighting and a T-34 took down a MK IV . At that point I thought it was time to concede, but by game end, my Grenadiers had taken 10. Victory locations and eliminated every Russian tank. Turned out to be a really fun game despite my terrible early choices. Dan would get the win in the end.
2019-06-29(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Russian win
2019-03-16(A) Vic Lauterbach vs ML German winTense scenario - used the 250/1's to find the 76L in D6 and lost one, also found T-34 in F3. Main attack went around the Russian right. T-34s proved very hard to kill but eventually HEAT and the Tiger got them. T-70 got an SPW but fell to a PzIVF2. PzIIIN's never ran out of HEAT and PzIII Flamm didn't run out of fuel until GT5. LV hindrance reduced hits for both sides, but Panzers got two CH's on occupied buildings and broke the Russian defense. Lots of sniper activity but only one pin and a kill on the German 9-1. If a few more shots had hit, this one could have easily tipped the Russians way.
